Many factories choose stainless steel coils mainly for the following reasons:
1. High processing flexibility
On demand cutting: Stainless steel coils are continuous rolls, and factories can correctly cut them into plates or steel strips of different lengths and widths according to their own production needs, adapting to diverse product size specifications. For example, in kitchenware manufacturing factories, stainless steel sheets of appropriate size can be cut from rolls to make the outer shell and inner liner of pots and utensils; Electronic factories can also cut stainless steel sheets of specific sizes for the production of precision components.
Convenient forming: When using coil material for subsequent processing, due to its own flexibility, it is easier to shape various complex shapes through forming processes such as stamping, bending, and stretching. Automotive parts factories process stainless steel coils into various shapes of automotive decorative strips and exhaust pipe components, which meet both design aesthetics and vehicle structural requirements.
2. Cost savings
Procurement cost: Compared to purchasing pre cut stainless steel plates of the same weight or area, the unit price of stainless steel coils is often lower. Large scale procurement of stainless steel coils can obtain more favorable prices and significantly reduce raw material procurement expenses. For large factories with large quantities, the cost saving effect is particularly significant.
Transportation and storage costs: The compact roll form of stainless steel coils occupies less transportation space and storage area compared to scattered plates. During transportation, multiple rolls of materials can be loaded at once, reducing unit transportation costs; When storing, the coil materials are stacked neatly to improve the utilization of warehouse space and indirectly reduce storage costs.
3. Stable quality
Uniform Material: The production process of stainless steel coils is mature, and during the rolling process, it can ensure the high uniformity of the material, stable internal crystal structure, and no local weak points. This enables the subsequent processed products to maintain a high and stable level of strength, corrosion resistance, and appearance flatness, reducing the rate of defective products.
Good surface quality: Most roll materials undergo meticulous surface treatment before leaving the factory, resulting in high smoothness and minimal scratches and stains. Directly using it in the factory can save the tedious process of surface cleaning and polishing, accelerate the production process, and ensure the appearance quality of the product.
4. Production efficiency improvement
Continuous processing: On automated production lines, stainless steel coils can be fed continuously, and with the help of high-speed punching machines, laser cutting machines, and other equipment, fast and continuous cutting and forming operations can be carried out, reducing downtime for frequent material changes and greatly improving overall production efficiency, which is in line with the large-scale and fast-paced production mode of modern factories.
Mature supporting technology: Around the processing of stainless steel coils, there is already a complete and mature set of process technology and equipment system on the market. The factory can easily obtain professional processing technology support and compatible equipment, and the difficulty for employees to operate is low, which can quickly put into production and shorten the research and development and production cycle of new products.
