The main difference between steel coils and steel strips is their width and purpose.
Steel coil usually refers to the coil form of steel after hot pressing or cold pressing. This form facilitates storage and transportation, as well as various processing, such as processing into steel plates, steel strips, etc. The width of the steel coil is usually not less than 600 mm and can be cut into flat steel plates or longitudinal steel strips.
Steel strip, also known as steel strip coil, is a type of steel coil, but usually refers to a narrower width coil of steel. The width of the steel strip is less than 1000mm, sometimes even less than 600mm, so it is called steel strip coil. The steel strip is characterized by being narrow and long, with the advantages of high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, easy processing, and material saving. Steel strips are used in a wide range of applications, such as welded pipes, clamps, washers, spring blades, saw blades, blades, etc.
To sum up, the main difference between steel coils and steel strips is their width and application range. Steel coils generally refer to larger width coils of steel, while steel strip refers to smaller width coils of steel with narrower widths and more specific application requirements.
