Product Overview

Engineered for high-performance applications, our precision cold-rolled 304 stainless steel strip delivers the perfect balance of corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface integrity required by today’s advanced automotive and electronics industries. Made from premium AISI 304 (UNS S30400 / SUS304 / EN 1.4301), this strip is cold-rolled to tight tolerances in thicknesses ranging from 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm, with a smooth 2B surface finish and burr-free slit edges—ensuring seamless integration into automated assembly lines, stamping operations, and miniaturized components.
Whether you’re producing EV battery interconnects, sensor housings, fuel injectors, or EMI shielding, our 304 stainless steel strip provides the reliability and consistency that global OEMs demand.

Why 304 Stainless Steel for Automotive & Electronics?

Grade 304 stainless steel is the go-to material for critical components due to its:
  • Excellent corrosion resistance against road salts, coolants, cleaning agents, and atmospheric exposure
  • Non-magnetic properties (in annealed condition)—essential for sensors, relays, and electronic shielding
  • High formability and ductility, enabling complex stamping, bending, and deep-drawing without cracking
  • Good electrical conductivity relative to other stainless grades, suitable for current-carrying parts
  • Compliance with RoHS, REACH, and automotive material standards (e.g., VDA, AIAG)
Its balanced composition of 18% chromium and 8% nickel ensures long-term durability in both under-hood automotive environments and sensitive electronic enclosures.

These properties support high-speed stamping, fine blanking, and laser cutting—critical for mass-producing micro-components in electronics and precision automotive parts.

Precision Slitting: Zero Burrs for Automated Assembly

In modern manufacturing, edge quality is as critical as material composition. Our advanced slitting technology features:
  • Tungsten-carbide tooling with micron-level alignment
  • Real-time optical edge monitoring
  • Post-slit deburring via non-contact methods (e.g., brushless magnetic finishing)
Result: No micro-burrs, no edge roll, no contamination—ensuring smooth feeding in progressive dies, robotic handling, and cleanroom-compatible production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 304 stainless steel be used in high-temperature automotive exhaust systems?
A: For continuous exposure above 600°C, 321 or 409 stainless is preferred. However, 304 is excellent for heat shields and brackets near exhaust manifolds.
Q: Is your 304 strip suitable for laser welding in battery modules?
A: Yes—our low-inclusion, homogeneous microstructure ensures consistent weld penetration and minimal spatter.
Q: Do you supply material compliant with automotive IMDS or CDX reporting?
A: Yes—we provide full IMDS (International Material Data System) submissions and CDX-compliant documentation.
Q: What’s the thinnest burr-free strip you can produce?
A: We routinely supply 0.1 mm (100 µm) strips with certified burr-free edges for medical and electronics applications.
