AISI/UNS 403 stainless steel bar in 2025 trades at a noticeably lower price point than common austenitic grades (e.g., 304/316) because it contains little or no nickel and relies mainly on chromium (≈11.5–13%). Typical bulk
For 2025, buyers should expect a wide regional spread in 304/304L plate pricing: Chinese ex-works and Asian mill supply typically trades roughly USD $1,700–2,200 per tonne for coil/plate benchmarks, while North American and European hot-rolled
AISI/ASTM 201 stainless steel plate remains the commercially attractive low-nickel alternative to 300-series alloys in 2025: its sheet/plate base price is typically lower than 304 but highly sensitive to raw-material swings (nickel, scrap, chrome), finishing
410 stainless steel coil remains one of the lower-cost stainless families in 2025 — typical merchant/industrial prices today sit broadly in the USD ~900–2,000 per metric tonne range depending on region, product form (cold-rolled coil
AISI/UNS 409 stainless steel coil remains one of the most cost-effective ferritic grades for exhaust and high-temperature service in 2025 — offering good weldability and oxidation resistance at a fraction of the cost of common
AISI/UNS 405 stainless steel coils in mid-2025 trade at substantially lower levels than austenitic grades (304/316) but remain sensitive to base-steel and alloying-metal movements; typical bulk ranges observed across sample supplier lists and market indices
317L stainless-steel coil remains a premium austenitic alloy in 2025. Typical transaction prices vary substantially by origin, specification and order size — a practical global range for industrial coils in mid-2025 is roughly USD 2,800
We find that Type 305 stainless steel coil remains a niche, formability-focused austenitic alloy priced slightly above standard 304 in many markets in 2025 because of its higher nickel content and periodic alloy surcharges; buyers
Based on current market signals through the first half of 2025 and our analysis of mill quotations, stainless raw-material indices, and regional surcharges, 403 stainless steel coils remain priced appreciably below mainstream 300-series cold-rolled coils
