What is X5CrNi18-10 Cold Forming Stainless Steel Sheet?
X5CrNi18-10 is a cold-formed stainless steel sheet, also known as AISI 304 or 1.4301. It is an austenitic chromium-nickel stainless steel that is easy to bend, stretch, and stamp during manufacturing, making it ideal for applications in industries such as food and beverage, construction, automotive, and chemicals.
GNEE supplies X5CrNi18-10, the European grade of AISI 304 stainless steel, containing approximately 18% chromium and 10% nickel. It is a versatile austenitic stainless steel that maintains high mechanical strength during cold forming while exhibiting excellent formability and bending properties. It is also resistant to cracking, making it an ideal choice for custom stainless steel sheet processing. It can be welded using TIG, MIG, or resistance welding, with an extremely low risk of carbide precipitation. It maintains good corrosion resistance after welding and is widely used in industries such as construction, machinery, food processing, and chemicals.

FAQ
Q: Can X5CrNi18-10 steel sheet be used in marine environments?
A: It exhibits good corrosion resistance in mild marine environments. However, if prolonged exposure to seawater is required, it is recommended to choose grade 316/316L for superior chloride resistance.
Q: What is the difference between 2B and BA surface treatments?
A: 2B surface treatment is a matte, smooth finish after cold rolling, while BA surface treatment is a bright, reflective finish after annealing, suitable for decorative or aesthetic applications.
Q: Can it be deep-drawn into complex shapes?
A: Yes, cold-rolled X5CrNi18-10 steel is ideal for deep drawing, stamping, and forming, and is commonly used in kitchen sinks, automotive panels, and industrial containers.
Q: Are there any relevant certificates?
A: Yes, the supplier provides an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate to verify chemical composition and mechanical properties.
