Common grades

Specifications and dimensions

  • Master coil ordered by thickness, width, and coil mass
  • Slit coil ordered by slit width, edge condition, and burr limit
  • Inside diameter, outside diameter, winding direction, and maximum coil mass defined for the receiving line

Standards and supply condition

  • ASTM A240/A240M
  • EN 10088-2

Manufacturing and processing

  • Hot- or cold-rolled coil is annealed and descaled according to grade and final condition.
  • Cold reduction, skin passing, slitting, leveling, interleaving, and protective film are specified separately.

Typical applications

  • Roll forming
  • Welded tube production
  • Appliances and automotive components
  • Stamped and deep-drawn parts

Quality and acceptance controls

  • Verify the heat or coil number and material test certificate against the ordered grade and product standard.
  • Confirm dimensions, tolerances, surface condition, permitted repair, marking, and traceability.
  • Agree inspection, export packing, moisture protection, document language, and third-party witness points before production.

Include in your RFQ

  • Grade and governing product specification
  • Dimensions, tolerances, and ordered quantity
  • Condition, finish, edge, end, or processing route
  • Required testing, inspection, and certification
  • Packing, marking, and traceability requirements
  • Destination and required delivery date

Selection limits

  • Grade name alone does not define product form, governing specification, dimensions, finish, inspection, or fitness for the service environment.
  • Published ranges and reference guidance are not stock promises or purchase acceptance criteria; the ordered specification and certificate control.
