304 Stainless Steel Strip 0.3-2.5mm Thickness for Industrial Fabrication
Product Spotlights
Zhongzheng Stainless Steel Co., Ltd., based in Tianjin, China, proudly supplies high-quality 304 Stainless Steel Strip in thicknesses from 0.3mm to 2.5mm, designed for demanding industrial fabrication applications. With decades of expertise and a global distribution network reaching North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, we deliver precision-engineered strips that meet the most stringent manufacturing requirements. Our 304 strips combine excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and strength, making them the preferred choice for OEMs and fabricators worldwide.
Product Overview
Our 304 stainless steel strip is produced from prime raw materials following ASTM A240/A276 standards. Available in a wide range of widths, surface finishes, and hardness levels, this strip is ideal for stamping, punching, bending, and deep drawing processes. Whether you need continuous coils for high-speed production or cut-to-length blanks for custom parts, we offer flexible solutions to optimize your manufacturing efficiency.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material Grade: 304 (UNS S30400) – superior corrosion resistance in atmospheric and mild chemical environments.
- Thickness Range: 0.3 mm to 2.5 mm with tight tolerance (±0.02 mm for thinner gauges, ±0.05 mm for thicker gauges).
- Width Options: Customizable from 10 mm to 300 mm (wider widths available on request).
- Surface Finish: 2B (smooth, matte), BA (bright annealed), No.1 (hot-rolled, pickled), Hairline, or Matt finish – adaptable to aesthetic and functional needs.
- Hardness Range: Soft (annealed, HV 150–180), Half Hard (HV 250–300), Full Hard (HV 350–400) – select based on your forming and spring-back requirements.
- Edge Condition: Slit edge (default) with deburred corners; mill edge (as-rolled) also available upon request.
- Mechanical Properties: Tensile strength 520–750 MPa, yield strength 205–550 MPa, elongation 40–20% depending on temper.
- Dimensional Consistency: Continuous rolling and precision slitting ensure uniform gauge and width across entire coils.
Typical Mechanical Properties (Reference)
| Temper | Hardness (HV) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soft (Annealed) | 150–180 | 520–620 | 205–250 | 40–50 |
| Half Hard | 250–300 | 620–700 | 350–450 | 20–30 |
| Full Hard | 350–400 | 700–750 | 500–550 | 10–20 |
Application Benefits
- Corrosion Resistance: The 304 alloy offers excellent protection against oxidation, rust, and chemical attacks, extending part lifespan in harsh environments.
- Formability & Weldability: Easily bent, stamped, or welded without cracking – ideal for complex geometries and assemblies.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to 316 or specialty alloys, 304 provides a balanced combination of performance and economy for general industrial fabrication.
- Consistent Quality: Rigorous in-house testing for thickness, surface defects, and mechanical properties ensures every coil meets your specifications.
- Flexible Packaging: Choose from mill coil (inner diameter 508 mm or 610 mm), small spools (for narrow widths), or cut lengths (flat bars) – all suitable for automated feeding systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the tolerance for thickness on your 304 stainless steel strips?
For thicknesses 0.3–1.0 mm, we maintain ±0.02 mm tolerance; for 1.0–2.5 mm, ±0.05 mm. Tighter tolerances are available upon request with additional cost.
2. Can you supply strips with a bright annealed (BA) finish?
Yes, BA finish is one of our standard options. It provides a reflective, smooth surface suitable for decorative applications and food contact parts.
3. Do you offer custom widths and cut-to-length services?
Absolutely. We can slit to any width between 10 mm and 300 mm, and also provide cut-to-length flat bars. Minimum order quantities apply for custom sizes.
4. What packing options are available for coils?
We offer standard export packing: inner moisture-proof paper, steel strapping, and plywood pallets or sea-worthy wooden crates. Small spools are plastic-wrapped with labeling.
5. How do I choose between soft, half hard, and full hard tempers?
Soft temper is best for deep drawing and complex forming; half hard provides moderate strength with good formability; full hard is used for spring-like parts that require high strength and minimal ductility. We can advise based on your application.
6. Are your 304 strips suitable for automotive exhaust systems?
Yes, 304 stainless steel is commonly used in exhaust components due to its heat and corrosion resistance. However, if higher temperature or salt spray resistance is needed, we also offer 316L and 409 grades.
7. What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For standard thicknesses and widths, MOQ is 500 kg per size. For non-standard dimensions or special finishes, please contact our sales team for MOQ details.
8. Do you provide material certifications?
Yes, each shipment includes a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) per EN 10204 or equivalent standard. Additional third-party inspection can be arranged upon request.
