Gangsteel produces 430 cold rolled stainless steel strip 2B in full compliance with the leading international standards. We can manufacture to any of the following major specifications to meet your exact project requirements:

  • JIS G4305 SUS430(Japan)
  • ASTM A240 Type 430(USA)
  • EN 10088-2 1.4016 / X6Cr17(Europe)
  • DIN EN 1.4016(Germany)
  • GB/T 3280 10Cr17 / 1Cr17(China)
  • BS 1449 430S17(United Kingdom)
  • ISO 4954 X6Cr17(International)

Whether you need JIS, ASTM, EN, GB, or any combination of these standards, Gangsteel delivers consistent quality, full traceability, and competitive pricing from our advanced Chinese production facilities.

 

What Is 430 Cold Rolled Stainless Steel Strip 2B?

430 cold rolled stainless steel strip 2B is a nickel-free ferritic grade that gives you a smooth, slightly reflective matte silver-gray surface (Ra 0.1–0.5 μm). The 2B finish comes from cold rolling, annealing, pickling, and a light skin-pass on polished rolls — creating a clean, uniform look that’s practical, easy to clean, and hides minor marks better than shinier finishes.

Because it contains no nickel, this strip keeps costs stable and is fully recyclable. You also get excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and full magnetism, making it a smart everyday choice for precision parts where standard coil widths are too wide and you want to minimize waste.

Available Specifications and Finishes

Gangsteel offers 430 cold rolled stainless steel strip 2B in the following standard range (custom sizes available upon request):

  • Thickness: 0.25 mm – 3.0 mm (up to 6 mm on request)
  • Width: 10 mm – 600 mm (precision slitting)
  • Coil ID: 300 mm, 400 mm, 508 mm or 610 mm
  • Coil weight: 1–10 tons (custom weights available)

The 2B finish is the practical industrial favorite. All strips are protected with PVC/PE film and paper interleaving to prevent scratching during transit.

Manufacturing Process at Gangsteel

Our production begins with high-purity AOD-refined material to achieve exact chemistry. After cold rolling and annealing, the wide coils are precision-slit on high-speed lines to your exact narrow width. Final inspection using eddy-current and AI visual systems guarantees defect-free material. Every batch undergoes third-party testing (SGS, TUV, BV) for full traceability.

For customers requiring the same high-quality material in other finishes or forms, we recommend our a240 Type_430 stainless steel sheet, EN10088 2 X6Cr17 stainless steel sheet, DIN 1.4016 stainless steel sheet, GB/T 10Cr17 1Cr17 stainless steel sheet, or JIS G4305 SUS 430 stainless steel sheet.

Key Advantages of Gangsteel 430 2B Strip

  • Narrow-width precision slitting — minimal waste for your production line
  • Stable pricing — nickel-free composition avoids market volatility
  • Excellent formability — high ductility for complex stamping
  • Superior thermal performance — higher conductivity and lower expansion than austenitics
  • Magnetic — perfect for automated feeding systems
  • Uniform matte finish that hides fingerprints and minor marks

Wide Range of Applications

430 cold rolled stainless steel strip 2B is the material of choice for:

  • Precision stamped parts in appliances and electronics
  • Automotive interior trim and decorative components
  • Lighting reflectors and solar panel frames
  • High-end kitchenware and food-contact strips
  • Architectural accents and signage
  • Medical instrument components requiring clean, functional surfaces
