Production Process of Cold-Rolled Stainless Steel
Cold-rolled stainless steel is valued for its high precision, smooth surface, and enhanced mechanical properties, widely used in automotive, electronics, and kitchenware. Its production follows a rigorous 6-step process to achieve superior quality.
First, hot-rolled coil preparation is the starting point. Hot-rolled stainless steel coils (typically 304, 316, or 430 grades) are selected as raw materials. They undergo degreasing with alkaline cleaners to remove surface oil and contaminants, then rinsed with water. This step ensures no impurities affect subsequent rolling, preventing surface defects.
Second, cold rolling forming shapes the material. The cleaned hot-rolled coils are fed into multi-stand cold rolling mills (usually 4-high or 6-high mills). Through repeated rolling (2-5 passes), the thickness is reduced from 3-12mm to 0.1-3mm, with strict thickness tolerance (±0.01mm). Rolling speed (200-800 m/min) is adjusted based on thickness requirements to ensure uniform deformation.
Third, annealing and pickling relieves stress and improves ductility. After cold rolling, the steel becomes work-hardened. It is annealed in a continuous furnace at 800-1100°C for 5-20 minutes to restore plasticity. Then, it undergoes pickling in a mixed acid solution (nitric + hydrofluoric acid) to remove oxide scales formed during annealing, revealing a clean surface.
Fourth, temper rolling (skin passing) optimizes surface and flatness. The annealed steel is passed through a temper rolling mill with low pressure (10-30 MPa). This step reduces surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.8μm for 2B finish), corrects minor warping, and stabilizes mechanical properties. It also prepares the surface for optional finishes like mirror polishing or brushing.
Fifth, slitting and cutting meets custom needs. Using slitting machines, wide coils are cut into narrow strips (width tolerance ±0.1mm) or cut into sheets of standard/custom sizes via shearing or laser cutting. Edge trimming is also done to remove burrs, ensuring safe handling and installation.
Finally, quality inspection and packaging ensures compliance. Inspectors check thickness, flatness, surface defects (scratches, pits), and mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation) via sampling. Qualified products are wrapped in moisture-proof PE film and packed in wooden pallets or crates to avoid corrosion and damage during transport.
This process balances precision and efficiency, producing cold-rolled stainless steel that meets strict industrial standards for diverse applications.
Advantage
Cold-rolled frosted stainless steel sheets in grades 201, 304, 316, and 430 deliver a refined industrial aesthetic with superior surface uniformity and tactile sophistication. The frosted finish not only enhances visual depth and reduces glare but also masks minor scratches and fingerprints, making it ideal for high-touch environments. Precision cold-rolling ensures consistent thickness and flatness, enabling seamless fabrication for architectural cladding, elevator interiors, kitchen appliances, and decorative panels. Each grade offers tailored performance: 201 for cost-effective durability, 304 for all-around corrosion resistance, 316 for marine or chemical exposure, and 430 for magnetic applications with moderate rust protection.
Engineered for both form and function, these sheets combine mechanical strength with design versatility. The matte texture provides a modern, non-reflective backdrop that complements minimalist and industrial design themes while maintaining structural integrity under stress. Whether laser-cut, bent, or welded, the material retains its finish integrity and dimensional accuracy. Its low-maintenance surface resists staining and requires only mild cleaning, reducing long-term upkeep costs. Architects, fabricators, and product designers appreciate the balance of elegance and endurance, allowing creative freedom without compromising on performance or compliance with industry standards.
Sourced from rigorously controlled production lines, our frosted stainless steel sheets meet international quality certifications and offer batch-to-batch consistency. Custom thicknesses, widths, and cut-to-size options ensure project-specific adaptability, while competitive pricing and global logistics support make them accessible for both small studios and large-scale contractors. From luxury retail fixtures to medical equipment housings, this material elevates end products with a premium, understated finish that withstands the test of time and environment — delivering value where aesthetics, durability, and practicality converge.
