304 stainless steel coil, 316 stainless steel coil, stainless steel sheet coil, cold rolled stainless steel, industrial stainless steel supplier
Choosing between 304 and 316 stainless steel coils is a critical decision for manufacturers and engineers who demand durability, heat resistance, and long-term cost efficiency. Jiangsu Hongtu Metal Technology Co., Limited supplies prime-quality 304 and 316 stainless steel coils designed to meet global industrial standards and diverse application requirements.
Heat resistance is often the first concern in high-temperature or processing environments. 304 stainless steel performs reliably under intermittent service up to 870°C and continuous service up to 925°C, making it suitable for kitchenware, piping, and general fabrication. However, continuous exposure between 425–860°C may increase corrosion risk.
By contrast, 316 stainless steel, enhanced with molybdenum, offers improved performance in demanding thermal and corrosive environments. It operates efficiently above 843°C and below 454°C, which is ideal for chemical processing and marine-related components.
The addition of 2–3% molybdenum and higher nickel content makes 316 stainless steel approximately 40% more expensive than 304. For buyers, the higher upfront cost is often offset by extended service life and reduced maintenance in corrosive conditions.
To support diverse production demands, Jiangsu Hongtu Metal Technology Co., Limited offers stainless steel coils with cold rolled thickness from 0.1–3.0 mm and hot rolled thickness from 3.0–6.0 mm, available in widths such as 1000 mm and 1219 mm. These parameters help engineers maintain tight tolerances while optimizing material performance.
Whether you prioritize cost efficiency or corrosion resistance, selecting the right stainless steel grade is essential. With stable quality, customizable specifications, and global standards compliance, Jiangsu Hongtu Metal Technology Co., Limited remains a trusted supplier of 304 stainless steel coil, 316 stainless steel coil, and stainless steel sheet coil solutions for industrial buyers worldwide.
