Whether you are manufacturing automotive springs, precision electronic components, or medical device parts, one of the most common questions purchasing managers ask when sourcing 1.4310 stainless steel strip is: "What exactly is the actual price per kilogram? And why do prices fluctuate so significantly?"
In this guide, we offer far more than just a simple price list. We will provide an in-depth analysis of the factors driving price fluctuations, teach you how to accurately calculate shipping weights, and explain how to procure high-strength EN 1.4310 (AISI 301) stainless steel strip.
What is the Price of 1.4310 Stainless Steel Strip per kg?
The price for 1.4310 (AISI 301) stainless steel strip typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 USD per ton ($1.50–$5.00/kg) depending on thickness, cold-rolled temper, and supplier. Precision-grade or specialized thin foil strips often command higher prices, while bulk industrial orders for standard cold-rolled coils are on the lower end.
| Thickness | Surface | Condition | Price (USD/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.1 – 0.3 mm | 2B / BA | Soft (Annealed) | $2.20 – $3.00 |
| 0.3 – 1.0 mm | 2B / BA | Half Hard | $2.40 – $3.30 |
| 0.5 – 2.0 mm | 2B / BA | Full Hard | $2.60 – $3.80 |
| Custom | HL / Polished | Customized | $3.00 – $4.50+ |
How to Calculate 1.4310 Strip Weight?
To avoid being overcharged, you must know how to calculate the weight of your order. Stainless steel 1.4310 has a density of approximately 7.9 g/cm³.
The Formula:
Weight (kg) = Thickness (mm) × Width (mm) × Length (m) × 0.0079
Example: If you need a strip that is 0.5mm thick, 100mm wide, and 1000 meters long:
0.5 × 100 × 1000 × 0.0079 = 395 kg.
Factors Affecting the Price of 1.4310 Stainless Steel Strip
1. Raw Material Surcharge (Nickel & Chromium)
1.4310 stainless steel contains approximately 6–8% nickel and 16–18% chromium. When nickel prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rise sharply, the alloy surcharge increases accordingly, directly impacting the price per kg.
2. Thickness & Precision
Ultra-thin foils (such as 0.02mm or 0.05mm) require more rolling passes during production and demand extremely tight tolerance control. This significantly increases the processing cost per kilogram.
3. Temper and Hardness
1.4310 steel strip is typically ordered in specific temper conditions, including: Annealed, 1/4 Hard, 1/2 Hard, 3/4 Hard, Full Hard, or Extra Hard. Achieving specific tensile strength targets (e.g., 1300+ MPa) necessitates the application of specialized precision heat treatment techniques and expertise in cold rolling processes.
4. Surface Finish Requirements
The standard 2B finish is the most economical option. However, if your application requires special finishes such as BA (Bright Annealed), Hairline (Brushed), or Polished, an additional cost of approximately $0.20–$0.50 per kg should be expected.
5. Order Volume (MOQ)
Buying a 20-ton Full Container Load (FCL) will always yield a better price than a 500kg LCL (Less than Container Load) order due to logistics and setup costs.
How can I ensure that I am purchasing authentic 1.4310 material?
Always request a Mill Test Certificate (MTC) that complies with the EN 10204 3.1 standard. Gnee provides an MTC with every shipment, which details the material's exact chemical composition and tensile strength data.

Can 1.4310 material be used for laser cutting?
Yes, but please ensure that you order strip material that has undergone "tension leveling." This guarantees that the strip remains flat after cutting and does not experience "springback" or deformation.
Is 1.4310 material magnetic?
In the annealed (soft) state, the material is essentially non-magnetic. However, due to 1.4310's significant work-hardening characteristics, once it has been cold-rolled to achieve a high-hardness state, its magnetic properties become very strong.
