304 Stainless Steel Coil Cold Rolled 2B Finish ASTM A240 0.3-6.0mm For UAE Construction Decoration Industry

Our 304 Stainless Steel Coil Cold Rolled 2B Finish is the premier austenitic stainless steel grade serving the UAE's high-end construction and architectural decoration sector. With 18% chromium and 8% nickel content, grade 304 delivers exceptional corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and a smooth matte 2B surface finish ideal for elevator interiors, curtain wall panels, handrail systems, column cladding, and luxury hotel fit-outs. The ASTM A240 specification ensures full traceability and certified mechanical properties with tensile strength exceeding 515 MPa and elongation above 40%, enabling complex fabrication requirements common in UAE's iconic architectural projects from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.

Our stainless steel coils are manufactured on advanced 20-high Sendzimir cold rolling mills capable of achieving thickness tolerances within ±0.005mm across the full strip width. The production process begins with premium-grade stainless steel slabs sourced from ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified steel mills, followed by hot rolling, annealing, pickling, cold rolling, and final bright annealing in continuous horizontal furnaces with protective hydrogen-nitrogen atmosphere. Each coil undergoes rigorous quality inspection including ultrasonic testing for internal defects, spectral analysis for chemical composition verification, tensile testing per ASTM A370, hardness measurement, surface roughness profilometry, and intergranular corrosion testing per ASTM A262 Practice E for 304/304L grades and Practice C for 316/316L grades. The result is consistent, high-quality stainless steel coil suitable for demanding applications in Middle Eastern architectural environments.

• Premium 304 Austenitic Grade: 18Cr-8Ni composition provides superior corrosion resistance in urban, rural, and light industrial environments. Intergranular corrosion tested per ASTM A262 Practice E with maximum corrosion rate of 0.5mm/year in boiling nitric acid, ensuring long-term structural integrity in UAE coastal and desert conditions.
• 2B Smooth Matte Surface: Standard 2B finish produced through cold rolling, annealing, pickling, and final skin pass delivers uniform matte appearance with Ra 0.1-0.5μm surface roughness, providing the ideal substrate for architectural PVD coating, mirror polishing to #8 finish, or hairline brushing for decorative applications.
• UAE Construction Market Optimized: ESMA (Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology) compliant documentation, Jebel Ali Port delivery with established customs clearance, and specifications aligned with Dubai Municipality and Abu Dhabi UPC building material requirements for architectural metalwork.
• Excellent Formability & Welding: Elongation exceeding 40% enables complex bending, deep drawing, and roll forming without intermediate annealing. Low carbon content (C ≤0.07%) prevents sensitization during welding, supporting TIG/MIG fabrication of architectural assemblies.
• Wide Dimensional Range: Available from 0.3mm for decorative laminate applications to 6.0mm for structural architectural components, with width range 600-1500mm accommodating diverse fabrication requirements from narrow slit coil for trim profiles to full-width sheets for wall panel systems.

Elevator interior panels, curtain wall cladding, escalator side panels, handrail systems, column covers, luxury hotel interior metalwork, shopping mall decorative screens, airport terminal wall panels, kitchen equipment, food service counters, laboratory worktops, and architectural signage throughout UAE commercial and residential developments.

The superior surface quality and precise dimensional control of our stainless steel coils enable efficient downstream processing across diverse fabrication methods including CNC laser cutting, waterjet cutting, stamping, deep drawing, roll forming, and TIG/MIG welding. The consistent mechanical properties across coil length reduce press setup adjustments and scrap rates in automated production lines. For architectural and decorative applications, the 2B mill finish provides an excellent substrate for subsequent PVD coating, electroplating, or mechanical polishing to achieve mirror, hairline, bead blast, or embossed surface textures. Our technical engineering team provides complimentary material selection guidance including grade recommendation based on service environment corrosivity classification per ISO 9223, formability analysis using forming limit diagrams, and weld procedure specification development for critical fabrication requirements.

Every stainless steel coil is protected with multi-layer packaging: inner PE film wrap directly on the strip surface, intermediate waterproof VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) paper, outer heavy-duty waterproof kraft paper, circumferential steel strapping at minimum 4 positions, and radial edge protectors. Coils are oriented eye-to-sky on fumigated ISPM 15 compliant hardwood pallets with full weatherproof shrink wrapping. Each shipment includes comprehensive quality documentation: original mill test certificate (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 with chemical analysis, mechanical test results, and dimensional report, surface inspection report, and intergranular corrosion test certificate where applicable. We maintain ISO 9001:2015 certified QMS with third-party inspection by SGS, TÜV, or Bureau Veritas available upon request. Full export documentation including Certificate of Origin, Form E preferential certificate, and fumigation certificate ensures smooth customs clearance in UAE and GCC countries and surrounding markets.
