Stainless Steel J3 Sheet Plate Coils are an ideal choice for manufacturers and industries that need stainless steel solutions with formability, durability, and an aesthetically pleasing appearance – all at a lower cost.
Stainless Steel J3 Sheet Plate Coils are among the most cost-efficient and versatile materials widely used across diverse industries for both decorative and industrial applications. J3 is a low-nickel austenitic stainless steel grade within the 200 series and offers moderate corrosion resistance, decent strength, and excellent formability. It is primarily designed for interior applications, food-grade containers, and other environments where high mechanical properties are not the topmost requirement.
SS J3 Sheet Plate Coils are a prime choice for manufacturers and fabricators looking for an affordable alternative to 304-grade stainless steel without compromising much on quality and performance. Available in a wide range of finishes, thicknesses, widths, and coil forms, Stainless Steel J3 is particularly favored for press-forming applications and non-critical usage in construction and fabrication.
Stainless Steel J3 belongs to the 200 Series austenitic stainless steels, which replace a portion of the expensive nickel content with manganese and nitrogen. J3 contains about 7-8% nickel, lower than the 300 series, making it a more economical option while still offering adequate corrosion resistance and formability. Its superior workability allows easy bending, stamping, and deep drawing – ideal for cookware, kitchen appliances, and architectural trims.
J3 stainless steel is often cold rolled into sheets, plates, and coils and further polished or textured to create beautiful surface finishes such as 2B, BA (bright annealed), mirror, matt, or hairline, meeting decorative and commercial demands.
The application scope of Stainless Steel J3 Sheet Plate Coils is vast, covering sectors where moderate corrosion resistance and high aesthetic value are required. Some common industries and product applications include:
