Introduction
301 Stainless Steel Strip (also SS 301 Strip, AISI 301 Stainless Steel Strip, SUS 301 Strip, 301 Spring Steel Strip, Cold Rolled 301 Strip, Precision Stainless Steel Strip, Full Hard 301 Strip) is a high‑strength austenitic stainless steel that hardens rapidly during cold working. It conforms to ASTM A666, ASTM A240 Type 301, SUS 301 (JIS G4305), and EN 1.4310 (DIN 1.4310). This stainless steel strip is available in a range of tempers: Annealed, Quarter Hard, Half Hard, Full Hard, and Extra Hard, achieved by precision cold rolling to control mechanical properties.
Key properties of 301 stainless steel strip:
Excellent spring properties – highest tensile strength among austenitic grades (up to 1850 MPa in full hard temper), ideal for spring applications
High tensile strength stainless steel – work hardening during cold rolling eliminates need for heat treatment after forming
Superior work hardening capability – can be formed in softer tempers then work‑hardened in service
Good fatigue resistance – maintains elastic properties under cyclic loading
Good formability – annealed material can be deep drawn, bent, and stamped
Corrosion resistant spring steel – comparable to 304 in many environments
Precision spring material – available in thin gauges (0.1mm‑3mm) with tight thickness tolerances
Note: 301 is the standard material for battery clips, hose clamps, connectors, and metal clips. It is not recommended for severe corrosive environments (use 316L).
Our 301 stainless steel strip is supplied in cold rolled, precision slit, edge trimmed, and bright finish conditions. We offer custom widths, thin strip (down to 0.05mm), strip coil, and cut‑to‑length options. All products meet ASTM A666 301 Stainless Steel Strip specification. Our product range includes 301 stainless steel strip coil, precision slit strip, spring temper strip (full hard), and annealed strip for forming.

Applications
1. Springs & Battery Clips
301 stainless steel strip for springs – leaf springs, contact springs, Belleville washers, and snap rings. Full hard 301 strip provides excellent spring properties with high tensile strength (1300‑1850 MPa), eliminating separate heat treatment.
301 stainless steel strip for battery clips – coin cell battery contacts, spring contacts for battery holders, and negative/positive terminals. Precision slit strip ensures consistent width for automated stamping.
2. Electronic Components & Connectors
301 stainless steel strip for electronic components – SIM card trays, shield cans, EMI/RFI shielding spring fingers, and contact springs. Good elasticity stainless steel maintains contact pressure over millions of cycles.
301 stainless steel strip for connectors – USB connector shells, pin contacts, card edge connectors, and terminal lugs. Half hard or full hard temper provides high strength without brittleness.
3. Stamping Parts & Automotive Components
301 stainless steel strip for stamping parts – drawn parts, formed clips, brackets, and retainers for appliances, electronics, and automotive interiors. Superior formability in annealed condition allows complex shapes; work hardening during stamping increases final strength.
301 stainless steel strip for automotive components – seat belt retractor springs, airbag initiator cups, fuel injector clips, and exhaust hanger supports. Fatigue resistance ensures long service life under vibration.
4. Hose Clamps & Precision Hardware
301 stainless steel strip for hose clamps – band clamps, worm‑drive hose clamp bands, and spring‑loaded clamps. High strength cold rolled strip allows thin gauges with high clamping force.
301 stainless steel strip for flexible parts – bellows, expansion joints, and flexible connectors. Durable stainless steel strip with excellent formability and corrosion resistance.
301 stainless steel strip for metal clips – spring clips, retaining rings, and fastener clips for industrial and consumer goods.
