1. Introduction
Alloy 301 Bright Annealed (BA) Precision Strips are ultra-thin, cold-rolled stainless steel strips engineered for high-performance spring applications. Combining precision dimensional tolerances (typically ±0.01mm), mirror-like bright annealing surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.15μm), and tailored mechanical properties, these strips excel in demanding dynamic components. The cold-rolling and bright annealing processes enhance fatigue resistance, elasticity, and corrosion resilience while eliminating surface oxidation. Ideal for springs, contacts, and snap-action parts in aerospace, medical devices, and microelectronics.
2. Key Features
-
Bright Annealed (BA) Finish: Oxygen-free annealing in H₂/N₂ atmosphere yields a reflective, oxide-free surface for superior aesthetics and corrosion resistance.
-
Precision Thickness: 0.03–1.0mm (common: 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3mm) with tolerance to ±0.005mm.
-
Cold-Rolled Hardness: Customizable from Soft Annealed (HV 150–200) to Extra Hard (HV 450–520) via work hardening.
-
Spring-Centric Design: Optimized for high yield strength (up to 1,400 MPa) and elastic recovery.
