304 Stainless Steel Coil Cold Rolled 2B JIS G4305 0.3-3.0mm For India Kitchenware Utensil Manufacturing

Our 304 Stainless Steel Coil Cold Rolled 2B Finish manufactured to JIS G4305 specifications is specifically positioned for India's massive kitchenware and utensil manufacturing sector, the world's second-largest stainless steel utensil market after China. The 304 (SUS304) austenitic grade provides the optimal balance of deep drawing formability, corrosion resistance to food acids, and cost efficiency that India's competitive kitchenware manufacturing clusters demand. The 2B surface finish provides a smooth matte substrate suitable for subsequent polishing to #4 or #6 satin finishes commonly specified for Indian consumer kitchenware products. With India's domestic stainless steel production insufficient to meet growing demand, our competitively priced import coils support the manufacturing capacity of utensil hubs in Delhi, Mumbai, Jagadhri, and Coimbatore.

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 Indian kitchenware manufacturing environments.

• JIS G4305 SUS304 Certification: Manufactured to Japanese Industrial Standard JIS G4305 for cold rolled stainless steel sheet, recognized by BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) IS 6911 equivalent grade for stainless steel plate, sheet and strip used in utensil and kitchenware applications.
• India Kitchenware Industry Optimized: Thickness range 0.3-3.0mm specifically covering the full spectrum of Indian kitchenware manufacturing from thin-gauge deep-drawn bowls and plates (0.4-0.8mm) to heavy-gauge commercial cooking vessels (1.5-3.0mm) used in restaurants and catering services.
• APTA Preferential Tariff (Form E): Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement Certificate of Origin enables reduced import duties versus non-preferential origin stainless steel, delivering 5-8% landed cost advantage for Indian utensil manufacturers competing in domestic and export markets.
• Consistent Deep Drawing Performance: Controlled grain size ASTM 6-8 and optimized nickel content ensure consistent drawability with limiting drawing ratio (LDR) exceeding 2.0, minimizing splitting and earing in high-speed transfer press operations producing up to 5000 pieces per shift.
• India-Wide Port & Inland Distribution: Container services to Nhava Sheva (JNPT), Mundra, and Chennai ports with established inland transportation to major utensil manufacturing clusters in Delhi NCR, Maharashtra (Mumbai, Pune), Haryana (Jagadhri), and Tamil Nadu (Coimbatore, Chennai).

Deep drawn stainless steel kitchenware including cooking pots (handi, kadai), serving bowls, dinner plates, tumblers, and cutlery items. Commercial kitchen equipment including industrial cooking vessels (patila), storage containers, food display counters, and buffet serving stations. Domestic appliances including mixer-grinder jars, pressure cooker bodies, water purifier tanks, and LPG stove bodies. Temple and religious utensil manufacturing including puja thalis, lamps, and bells. Hospitality industry kitchen equipment for India's growing hotel, restaurant, and catering (HoReCa) sector serving domestic tourism and international visitor markets.

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 India and surrounding markets.
