Technical Profile

Aero Enterprises supplies secondary stainless steel sheets (SS 304, SS 316, SS 201 second quality) in Mumbai at 15-20% discount versus prime material. Secondary SS sheets have minor cosmetic imperfections - surface scratches, slight discoloration, edge damage, small dents - but maintain full corrosion resistance, hygiene properties, and chemical composition. Located in Vasai East, we stock thicknesses from 0.8mm to 2.0mm in standard 8x4 ft size (subject to availability), ideal for budget-conscious applications: equipment interiors, concealed panels, painted or powder-coated parts, industrial enclosures, non-food-contact surfaces, and applications where stainless steel's corrosion resistance is needed but perfect surface finish is not required. Limited stock - contact for current availability.

What are Secondary SS Sheets?

Secondary stainless steel sheets (second quality, off-grade, or commercial seconds) are SS material that doesn't meet prime visual standards due to minor cosmetic defects from manufacturing, finishing, or handling. Common imperfections include: surface scratches (light to deep), dents or dings, slight discoloration or heat marks, edge damage, uneven finish (2B/BA variations), small pits or blemishes, handling marks, or dimensional variations (±2-3mm). Importantly, secondary SS sheets maintain the same chemical composition (chromium, nickel content per grade), corrosion resistance, and hygienic non-porous surface as prime material. The stainless steel's self-healing chromium oxide layer still forms, providing permanent rust protection. For applications where the sheet will be painted, used as interior component, or where minor cosmetic marks don't affect functionality, secondary SS offers the critical benefit (corrosion resistance) at significant cost savings (15-20%).

Technical Q&A

Verified Procurement Intelligence

Is secondary SS still rust-proof?
Yes, 100%. Surface scratches don't affect corrosion resistance. The chromium in stainless steel (18% in SS 304) forms a self-healing oxide layer. Even scratched areas reform protection naturally. Secondary SS is just as rust-proof as prime material.
How much can I save with secondary SS sheets?
15-20% savings vs prime SS. Example: SS 304 1.2mm prime = ₹5,390/sheet, secondary = ₹4,440/sheet (saving ₹950). For equipment manufacturer using 50 sheets, that's ₹47,500 savings per batch.
Can secondary SS be used for food equipment?
For food-contact surfaces, SS 304/316 secondary can be used after polishing to remove scratches (hygienic smooth surface). For non-contact parts (equipment frames, stands, backs), secondary is fine as-is. Check local food safety regulations regarding surface finish requirements.
Can scratches be removed from secondary SS?
Light scratches: Yes, with progressive sanding (180→320→600 grit) and polishing. Deep scratches: Difficult to remove completely, but can be minimized. For painted applications, light sanding is sufficient as paint covers imperfections.
Is secondary SS available in SS 316?
Occasionally, but rare. SS 304 secondary is most common. SS 316 and SS 201 secondary appear sporadically based on mill availability. Contact us to check current stock - we'll notify you when specific grades arrive.
What grades do you typically stock?
SS 304 secondary is most frequently available. SS 201 appears occasionally (lower cost, indoor use only). SS 316 is rare. Stock is limited and unpredictable - we recommend inquiring for active projects rather than planning long-term based on secondary SS availability.
Can secondary SS be welded?
Yes, welds exactly like prime SS. Surface scratches near weld area should be cleaned for best appearance, but don't affect weld strength. Use appropriate filler (308 for SS 304, 316L for SS 316). Corrosion resistance maintained around welds.
How is secondary SS sheet priced?
By severity: 'Light scratches' = 15% discount, 'Moderate damage' = 18% discount, 'Heavy defects' = 20% discount. Grade (304/316/201) and thickness also affect price. We provide photos so you can assess if defect level suits your application.
Do you deliver secondary SS in Navi Mumbai?
Yes, but minimum 3 sheets for economic delivery due to higher material value. For large equipment projects (10+ sheets), we arrange specialized transport with protection to prevent additional damage during transit.
Can I reserve secondary SS for future pickup?
For bulk orders (10+ sheets), yes - we can reserve with 25% advance for up to 7 days. SS secondary sells quickly due to limited supply. We recommend fast decision-making once suitable material is available.
