  • Detailed Description

Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Sheet

Baojing Steel supplies high-quality Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Sheets (CR Stainless Steel Sheets) in a wide range of grades, dimensions and surface finishes for industrial, commercial, architectural and precision applications.

Cold rolled stainless steel sheet is manufactured by further reducing the thickness of stainless steel through cold rolling, followed by processes such as annealing, pickling, skin pass, leveling and cutting. Compared with hot rolled stainless steel, cold rolled sheets generally provide better surface quality, tighter dimensional tolerances, improved flatness and excellent formability.

Our cold rolled stainless steel sheets are available in austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, duplex, precipitation hardening and heat-resistant stainless steel grades, with customized dimensions and surface finishes available according to customer requirements.
