Stainless Steel Shims & Coils

stainless steel shims coils with a composition of 17% chromium and 7% nickel. Its resistance to atmosphere corrosion and its bright surface finish make it an excellent choice for decorative structural applications. Kitchen equipment, automotive components, wheel covers, conveyor belts, hose clamps, springs, truck and trailer bodies, railway and subway cars are some of the major applications for the versatile grade. Type 301 is resistant to a variety of corrosive media. However, the corrosion properties are not as good as 18-8 chromium-nickel steels. Its susceptibility to carbide precipitation during welding restricts its use in some applications.
