Advantages for Automotive Exhaust Manufacturing
- High-Temperature Performance: 304 stainless steel maintains structural integrity at continuous operating temperatures up to 870°C, ideal for exhaust gas flow.
- Corrosion Resistance: Withstands acidic condensate from combustion and road salt exposure, preventing premature failure.
- Excellent Formability: The 1.5mm gauge allows easy bending, stamping, and hydroforming for complex exhaust components.
- Weldability: Low carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, ensuring strong, leak-free joints.
- Consistent Quality: Each coil is mill-certified and tested for thickness, chemistry, and mechanical properties, reducing scrap rates in your production line.
- Customizable Dimensions: We offer cut-to-length sheets, slit coils, or full-width coils to match your specific manufacturing process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the exact thickness tolerance for your 1.5mm coil?
A: Our standard tolerance is ±0.05mm. For tighter requirements, we can supply coils with ±0.03mm tolerance upon request. -
Q: Can you provide a mill test certificate (MTC) for each coil?
A: Yes, we supply a mill test certificate that includes chemical composition, mechanical properties, and thickness verification for every batch. -
Q: What surface finishes are available for automotive exhaust applications?
A: We offer 2B (most common for exhaust systems), BA (bright finish), and No.1 (hot rolled) finishes. The choice depends on your forming and welding process. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard widths (1000-1500mm), the MOQ is 5 tons. For special widths or finishes, MOQ may be 10 tons. Please contact us for details. -
Q: How do you package the coils to prevent damage during shipping?
A: Coils are packaged with anti-rust paper, plastic wrapping, and steel banding, then placed on wooden pallets or in steel frames. Inner diameters are 508mm or 610mm as per standard. -
Q: Can you slit the coil to narrower widths?
A: Yes, we offer slitting services to produce any width from 50mm up to the full width. Lead time for slitting is typically 5-7 working days. -
Q: Is this material suitable for TIG welding?
A: Absolutely. 304 stainless steel is highly weldable with TIG, MIG, and laser processes. The 1.5mm thickness is ideal for thin-gauge exhaust components. -
Q: What is the typical delivery time for orders to North America?
A: For standard stock sizes, delivery takes 15-20 working days after deposit. For custom orders, please allow 25-30 working days. We ship via sea or air as needed.
