304 Stainless Steel Thin Plate Band Foil Sheet Strip Roll 0.05mm-0.5mm Thickness

Measure the gap you need to fill with a feeler gauge, then select the thickness that matches or can be stacked to reach that measurement. For gaps under 0.1 mm, start with the 0.05 mm strip. For gaps between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm, a single layer of the matching thickness is usually sufficient. Multiple layers can be stacked if an intermediate value is needed.

304 stainless steel has a typical tensile strength of around 515–620 MPa in the annealed condition, rising with cold work. At these thin gauges the strip is intended for shimming, gasket-making, forming, and light structural reinforcement — not for primary load-bearing members. If your application involves significant mechanical stress, consult an engineer to confirm suitability.

304 stainless steel resists rust and oxidation well in most outdoor and damp environments thanks to its chromium oxide passive layer. It performs reliably in fresh water and mild atmospheric conditions. In high-chloride environments (coastal salt air, swimming pools, or de-icing salt exposure), 316-grade steel would be a more appropriate choice.

Yes. At thicknesses of 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm, the strip cuts cleanly with heavy-duty scissors or a sharp craft knife guided by a steel rule. Thicker variants (0.4 mm–0.5 mm) are better handled with aviation tin snips or a guillotine shear for a straight, burr-free edge. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when handling thin metal edges.

Choose the width closest to — but not narrower than — your finished part. The 100 mm width suits narrow shims, gasket strips, and small brackets. The 200 mm width covers medium panels and heat shields. The 300 mm width is best when you need a wider blank that you'll cut down, reducing the number of joins in the finished piece.

The alloy composition is identical — 304 grade with 18% chromium and 8% nickel. The difference is form factor: this product is a narrow strip or foil roll cut to specific widths and lengths, making it practical for small-batch work, prototyping, and repair tasks where purchasing a full 1200 × 2400 mm sheet would result in significant waste.

304 stainless steel is weldable using TIG, MIG (with 308L filler), or resistance welding methods. At very thin gauges (0.05 mm–0.1 mm) heat input must be carefully controlled to avoid burn-through; pulse TIG or laser welding is preferred. Silver soldering is also possible with appropriate flux. Standard tin-lead solder does not bond reliably to stainless steel without aggressive acid flux.
