FAQ
1. What does "18/0" mean in stainless steel?
It contains 18% chromium and 0% nickel, giving a ferritic structure with good corrosion resistance and magnetic properties.
2. How is 18/0 different from 18/8 or 18/10 stainless steel?
18/0 (ferritic) is magnetic, lower cost, and has less corrosion resistance than austenitic 18/8 or 18/10 grades.
3. Can 18/0 stainless steel be used for kitchenware?
Yes, it is widely used for sinks, utensils, and appliances where cost-effectiveness is key.
4. What surface finish is suitable for decorative panels?
Hairline (HL) or BA / Polished finishes are ideal for aesthetics.
5. Can 18/0 stainless steel be fabricated?
Yes, it is suitable for cutting, bending, stamping, deep drawing, and light welding.
6. What is the typical lead time?
Stock sheets or strips: 5–7 days
Custom sizes or finishes: 10–15 days
7. Are certificates provided?
Yes, MTC EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 and third-party inspection reports are available.
