Ultra Thin Stainless Steel Foil and Coil

Ultra thin stainless steel strip is the family Yongxin was built around. It is cold rolled on 4-Hi and 20-Hi 650 mm mills, annealed in house and released only after chemistry, hardness, tensile and surface have been checked in our own laboratory.

Category Overview

SUS304 SUS301 316L and SUS430 rolled from 0.05 mm in soft and hard temper

Ultra thin stainless steel foil and coil covers the gauges where ordinary service centre material stops being reliable. Below roughly 0.2 mm a small drift in thickness or hardness changes how the strip springs back, how a die wears and whether a weld or a laser cut behaves. Yongxin rolls this band as a routine product rather than as an exception.

The strip is supplied in SUS304, SUS301, 316L and SUS430 as standard, and in other grades when the customer specifies them. Thickness runs from 0.05 mm to 1.0 mm and width from 10 mm to 610 mm, which covers narrow slit ribbon for contacts as well as wide strip for shields and enclosures. Temper is available across ANN, 1/4H, 1/2H, 3/4H, FH and EH so the same grade can be ordered soft for deep forming or hard for spring behaviour.

Surface finish and roughness are made to the customer requirement. If you cannot describe the finish in words, send a control sample chip and we will roll a sample to match it and send that sample to you for approval before bulk production starts.

Who This Category Is For

  • Stamping and progressive die shops making contacts, springs, clips and shields
  • Battery pack builders needing thin stainless for cases, tabs and structural parts
  • Medical device makers producing blades, cannula components and surgical instrument parts
  • Electronics and semiconductor suppliers needing clean thin stainless for shielding and carriers
  • Textile machinery builders needing wear resistant thin strip
  • Converters and service centres slitting to narrower ribbon for their own customers

Problems It Solves

What Goes Wrong With Thin Strip and How We Prevent It

Thickness Drift Between Coils

A change of a few microns between coils forces the press shop to re shim the die. Yongxin holds the rolled gauge to the agreed tolerance across and along the coil.

Inconsistent Hardness

Strip that arrives softer or harder than the last delivery changes springback and scrap rate. Annealing and temper rolling are controlled in house and verified by hardness and tensile testing.

Surface Not Fit for the Next Process

Coating, etching, welding and laser cutting all react to surface roughness and residual oil. The degreasing line and the specified finish remove that variable.

Grade Confusion Across Standards

A buyer writing 1.4301, SUS304 and 06Cr19Ni10 may mean the same material. Our grade tables and sales desk settle that before production.

Core Advantages

Why Buyers Specify This Category From Yongxin

Thin Gauge Held Across the Coil

Rolling, levelling and slitting sit on one site, so thickness and flatness are corrected in process instead of being sorted afterwards.

Temper Chosen for Your Forming Step

ANN through EH lets you set springback and hardness without changing grade, which keeps corrosion behaviour constant.

Surface Matched to a Sample

Roughness and grain can be specified in numbers or matched to a control chip you send us.

Grade Cross Reference Handled

Our sales desk works in GB, DIN, BS, JIS and ASTM, so a local designation is translated before the order is written.

Approval Sample Before Bulk

A production sample is made and sent for approval, so the first container is not the first time you see the material.

Big Coil Weight

Larger coil weight means fewer joins and fewer stoppages on a progressive press or a slitting line.

Manufacturing Process

How This Category Is Produced

  1. Certified feedstock is checked against the mill certificate

  2. Cold rolling on 4-Hi 650 mm COSMEC and 20-Hi 650 mm Sendzimir mills

  3. Annealing in the horizontal continuous furnace or bell type furnace

  4. Degreasing to remove rolling oil

  6. Slitting to ordered width and edge condition

  7. Laboratory release on chemistry, hardness, tensile and surface

  8. Wrapping, strapping, marking and export packing

FAQ

Ultra Thin Stainless Steel Foil/Coil FAQ

Which stainless grades are held as standard
SUS304, SUS301, 316L and SUS430 are the standard grades. Other grades can be produced when specified by the customer, so state the grade and standard in your enquiry.
How thin can the stainless strip be rolled
This product family is rolled from 0.05 mm to 1.0 mm. If your part needs a thinner gauge, send the specification and we will confirm what the mills can hold.
What does temper ANN to EH mean in practice
ANN is fully annealed and softest, 1/4H, 1/2H and 3/4H are progressively harder, FH is full hard and EH is extra hard. Softer temper forms deeper, harder temper springs back more and holds shape. Our temper guide explains how to choose.
Can you match a surface finish from a sample
Yes. Send a control sample chip, we roll a sample to match it and send the sample for your approval before bulk production.
What tolerance do you work to
State the thickness and width tolerance you need. Where no tolerance is stated we follow the Yongxin standard tolerance, which we will confirm in writing with the quotation.
Is there a minimum order quantity
The MOQ is 1000 kg. Smaller enquiries can still be processed but machine set up usually means a higher price and a longer lead time unless the item is in stock.
