301 Tempering Or Re-rolling Stainless Steel Strips

What is type 301 stainless steel ? 

Type 301 is a chromium nickel austenitic stainless steel capable of attaining high strengths and ductility by cold working. It is not hardenable by heat treatment. Type 301 is non-magnetic in the annealed condition and becomes increasingly magnetic with cold working. This chromium nickel stainless steel alloy provides high strength and good ductility when cold worked. 301 stainless steel slit coil is a modification of stainless steel grade 304 with lower chromium and nickel to increase the work hardening range. Type 301 steel exhibits corrosion resistance comparable to type 302 and 304. In the cold worked and annealed condition, type 301 achieves its most optimal resistance to corrosion. It is preferable over types 302 and 304 in the tempered condition because the higher enlongations (which are attainable at a given strength level) facilitate fabrication.

What is tempering ?

Tempering, or re-rolling, is a work hardening process used to change the structure and shape of stainless steel without the use of heat.

Instead of heat treatment, the steel is sent through work rolls to apply mechanical stress, achieving precise and uniform gauge reduction. This results in increased material strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish without the need for intermediate anneals.

Tempered stainless steel is often used in applications where the material needs to be bent to a certain degree without the risk of breaking. Common industries that use tempered steel include automotive, oil & gas downhole applications, appliances, and medical devices.

Rolled Metal Products offers complete in-house tempering and re-rolling capabilities to meet a wide variety of gauges and widths to fulfill your toughest material specifications.
