Get A QuoteStainless steel strip is a thin, flat piece of stainless steel that is widely used in various industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and formability. The following is a brief description:
Chemical Composition
Typical chemical compositions of some common stainless steel grades are as follows:
| Grade | C | Si | Mn | Cr | Ni | Mo |
| 302 | 0.15 | 1.00 | 2 | 17-19 | 8-10 | - |
| 304 | ≤0.08 | ≤1.00 | ≤2.00 | 18.00-20.00 | 8.00-10.50 | - |
| 316 | ≤0.08 | ≤1.00 | ≤2.00 | 16.00-18.00 | 10.00-14.00 | 2.00-3.00 |
Mechanical Properties
The mechanical properties of stainless steel strip vary depending on the grade and heat treatment. Some common mechanical properties are shown in the following table:
| Grade | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Hardness (HBW) |
| 302 | 620 | 275 | 55 | 147 |
| 304 | 520-720 | 210 | 40-45 | 187 |
| 316 | 530-680 | 220 | 40 | 187 |
Standard Specifications of Different Countries

Popular Grades
•304 Stainless Steel Strip: It is the most widely used grade, with excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and weldability. It is commonly used in kitchen appliances, food processing equipment, architectural decoration, and daily necessities.
•316 Stainless Steel Strip: It has better corrosion resistance than 304, especially in chloride-containing environments, and is often used in marine engineering, chemical equipment, and medical devices.
Q&A
Q: What is the main difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel strips?
A: The main difference lies in the chemical composition. 316 contains molybdenum, which gives it better corrosion resistance, especially in chloride and acid environments, while 304 does not have molybdenum.
Q: Can stainless steel strips be bent easily?
A: Most stainless steel strips have good formability and can be bent to a certain extent. However, the specific bending performance depends on the grade, thickness, and heat treatment of the strip. Austenitic stainless steel strips like 304 and 316 generally have better formability.
Q: How to choose the appropriate stainless steel strip grade?
A: It depends on the specific application environment and requirements. If it is used in a normal indoor environment or general industrial environment, 304 is usually sufficient. If it is used in a harsh environment with high corrosion risk, such as marine environment or chemical industry, 316 or other high-alloy stainless steel grades should be selected.
