Stainless Steel Strip Rolled With Precision

Stainless Steel Strip is a steel product manufactured from the hot rolled strip and then pickled. This SS Strip is made up of austenitic stainless steel consists of chromium, nickel, and manganese as the main constituents, which offers excellent thermodynamic properties such as specific heat capacity, melting point, thermal conductivity and coeficient of linear expansion.

What is strip steel made up of?

Strip stee­l, or coil steel, is usually known as carbon or stainless ste­el. Carbon steel strip is mainly iron and carbon. It also has small amounts of othe­r things like manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. Stainle­ss steel strip has iron, carbon, and chromium. It can also have e­xtra things like nickel, molybdenum, and diffe­rent alloys. These e­xtras help it resist rust and make it stronge­r. The exact mix and traits of strip stee­l can change. It depends on what it’s going to be­ used for.


Benefits of Stainless Steel strip

Durability and Resistance

One of the biggest pluses of stainless steel is that it’s really tough. It doesn’t get damaged easily, even when lots of people walk over it every day, or when it rains, snows, or gets really sunny. Stainless steel doesn’t rust or start to look old and worn out quickly. This means that once you install these strips, they will keep looking good and working well for a long time, helping everyone move around safely.


Safety and Visibility

Safety comes first, and stainless steel tactile strip are designed with this in mind. They have special textures on them that stop people from slipping, making it safer to walk, especially in wet or crowded places. Plus, they can be a bit shiny, so when light hits them, they reflect it back. This makes it easier for everyone to see them, adding an extra layer of safety.


Maintenance and Longevity

Nobody likes spending a lot of time or money on upkeep, and that’s where stainless steel strips shine. They are super easy to take care of. You don’t need to do much to keep them looking great. Just a simple cleaning once in a while is enough. Because they are so durable and low-maintenance, they save money over time. You won’t need to replace them as often as other types, making them a smart choice for anyone looking to order tactile strip for the blind or searching for affordable tactile warning surfaces.

Manufacturing Process

Stainless steel tape is a kind of metal material widely used in various industrial fields, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature properties and mechanical strength. So how is this key material made?

Preparation of raw materials

The manufacturing of stainless steel belts begins with the selection of appropriate raw materials. Usually, the main components of stainless steel are iron, chromium and nickel, of which chromium content is at least 10.5%, which makes stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance. In addition to these main components, other elements may be added to improve their properties, such as carbon, manganese, silicon, molybdenum, copper, etc.


Enter the melting stage

In the melting stage, the mixed raw material is put into an electric arc furnace or induction furnace for melting. The temperature inside the furnace usually reaches about 1600 degrees Celsius. The molten liquid steel is refined to remove impurities and gases from it.


Pour into continuous casting machine

The liquid stainless steel is poured into the continuous casting machine, and the stainless steel strip is formed through the continuous casting process. In this process, liquid stainless steel is continuously cast into a rotating mold to form a strip blank of a certain thickness. The cooling rate and temperature control of the mold have an important effect on the quality and performance of the strip.


Enter the hot rolling stage

The billet is hot rolled by a hot rolling mill to form a steel plate with a certain thickness and width. During the hot rolling process, the steel plate is subjected to multiple rolling and temperature adjustments to obtain the desired size and properties.


Pickling stage

In this process, the stainless steel strip is soaked in an acidic solution to remove surface oxides and impurities. The surface of the stainless steel strip after pickling is smoother, which provides a good foundation for subsequent cold rolling and surface treatment.


The cold rolling stage

At this stage, the stainless steel strip is further rolled through a cold mill to further adjust its thickness and flatness. The cold rolling process can improve the surface quality and precision of the stainless steel strip.


Final stage

Stainless Steel Strip

After a series of post-treatment processes such as annealing, polishing and cutting, the stainless steel strip finally completes the manufacturing process. The annealing process can eliminate the stress inside the stainless steel strip, improve its plasticity and toughness; Polishing process can make the surface of the stainless steel strip more smooth and bright; The cutting process cuts the stainless steel strip to the desired length and width as needed.

Appliation

Stainless Steel Strips are widely used in various industries including chemical & food processing industries, construction & building materials, automobile industries, air conditioning & refrigeration, and washers industries. From this, I’ll explain a few applications in detailed.

Automotive Industries

Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Strips is one of a popular product in automobile industries that is used for body panels and the other automotive components. Using stamping methods the cold-rolled stainless steel strips can be formed into required shape panels or other required components.


Building & Construction Materials

Stainless Steel products are most broadly used and can be easily recycled. There are different manufacturing technologies for producing high-quality stainless steel strips that offer great advantages to building and construction industries. Stainless Steel Strips are used to make the structure of building or constructions and also used stainless steel strips for doors.


Refrigerators & Air Conditioners

As the stainless steel strips have excellent thermodynamic properties like thermal conductivity, heat capacity, and melting points, as we discussed earlier.
