Chemical Composition of Stainless Steel

Boost Your Business

Yaoyi has been pursuing high-quality stainless steel coils since 1996.In order to achieve excellence in quality, our raw materials are purchased from the best steel company in the world: Baosteel. High-quality steel must be produced in a refining furnace, and the chemical composition of stainless steel must be stable. The chemical composition of stainless steel of different steel grades is different. We have a precision instrument–spectrometer to detect the accurate content of each metal and non-metal.

1. Yaoyi has an experienced R&D team, with an average of 5 R&D projects each year to improve production efficiency and product quality or overcome some technical problems.

2. Zhang yue, the General Manager of Yaoyi was graduated from Northeastern University with a major in metallurgy.He formed a professional team, which has been engaged in stainless steel manufacturing for more than 30 years.

3. The first concern of our stainless steel laboratory is the mechanical properties and chemical composition of the steel.

What is stainless steel?

Stainless steel is a type of steel. Steel refers to steel that contains less than 2% carbon (C), and iron is more than 2%. The addition of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo) and other chemical composition in the smelting process improves the performance of the steel and makes the steel corrosion-resistant (That is, no rust) is what we often call stainless steel.

Stainless steel is the abbreviation of stainless and acid-resistant steel. It is called stainless steel that is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, and water, or is stainless steel; Corrosion steel is called acid-resistant steel. Due to the difference in chemical composition between the two, their corrosion resistance is different. Ordinary stainless steel is generally not resistant to chemical media corrosion, while acid-resistant steel is generally non-corrosive. The term “stainless steel” not only refers to a single type of stainless steel, but also refers to more than one hundred industrial stainless steels. Each stainless steel developed has good performance in its specific application field. Due to the difference in stainless steel chemical composition between the two, the former is not necessarily resistant to corrosion by chemical media, while the latter is generally non-corrosive.

The corrosion resistance of stainless steel depends on the alloying elements contained in the steel, especially cadmium. When the steel chemical composition is greater than 12%, the chromium in the steel will interact with the oxygen in the corrosive medium to form a very thin chromium-rich oxide film on the surface of the steel. This oxide film can prevent the steel the matrix is ​​further corroded. When the chromium-rich oxide film on the surface of stainless steel is destroyed, a new chromium-rich oxide film can be formed immediately.

In addition to chromium, commonly used alloying elements include nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, copper, nitrogen, etc., to meet the requirements of various uses for the structure and performance of stainless steel.

The size range of precision stainless steel strip is different from that of conventional stainless steel foil. It refers to cold-rolled stainless steel foil with special ultra-thin specifications. The thickness is generally between 0.05-0.5mm, and it is called stainless steel foil below 0.05mm. Such products require high quality and difficult process control.

It is extremely difficult to produce the stainless steel foil. For example, 4 rolling passes and 24 hydraulic pressure are required to produce a stainless steel foil with a thickness of 0.02mm. Usually, one stroke requires six times of 180 tons of hydraulic pressure, and each time you have to check whether the steel surface has color difference and whether it is flat.

In the production process, the stainless steel foil is added with CU and TI, thereby reducing the solubility of sulfides mainly composed of Mn and S in acidic liquids, reducing cavitation and cracking, making Yaoyi stainless steel foil with good protection Corrosive.

Stainless steel foil has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and low maintenance cost. Stainless steel foil belongs to austenitic stainless steel, which has good processing properties and high toughness.

Ultra-thin stainless steel foil is widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, military nuclear power, new energy, high-end electronics, automobiles, textiles, computers, precision machining and other pillar industries and key fields, and has begun to enter the high-end electronics industry, folding displays, flexible solar energy High-tech fields of components, sensors, energy storage batteries.

Excellent strength and tensile properties enable Yaoyi stainless steel foil to withstand stronger external shocks. Good weldability allows Yaoyi stainless steel foil to be widely used in underwater electronic equipment, vehicle batteries and other products that require high water resistance.

What is the packaging standard of stainless steel foil?

不锈钢箔卷

Packaging standards for stainless steel coils with a width of 2<width<10mm:

When the width is 2<width<10mm, a carton ring is used between the first stainless steel foil roll and the second stainless steel foil roll to prevent the two roll of stainless steel foil from squeezing and bumping. Each narrow material stainless steel foil inner layer uses a plastic ring. The outside is packed in a carton.

Wrap the outer tray cover with a carton ring. The bottom stainless steel foil roll is separated from the tray by a carton ring. Finally, put the whole into a wooden box and add foam particle filling. (See picture for details)

Packaging standards for stainless steel coils with a width >10mm:
