Slitting is a service that divides large-format aluminum or stainless steel coil into flat sheets or narrower coils, to the exact size and quantity the customer needs — instead of having to buy a full standard-width coil and cut it yourself, which wastes material and time. This is one of Kim Khi 506's four core fabrication services.
- Applies to both aluminum alloys (A1050, A3003, A5052, A6061, A7075, 8011) and stainless steel (201, 304, 316, 430).
- Slit to the exact width and quantity required by the order, not limited to standard specifications.
- Reduces material waste compared to cutting it yourself from large-format coil.
- Delivery according to project schedule, with full CQ/CO certificates.

What is coil slitting, and when do you need this service?
Cold-rolled aluminum and stainless steel are typically produced as coils in standard widths (e.g. 1000mm, 1219mm, 1250mm...). In practice, customers often need narrower widths or sheets pre-cut to the exact dimensions on the drawing. Slitting is the intermediate step that converts large-width coils (raw material) into material of the correct width and quantity — ready for further processing (bending, cutting, welding) without a time-consuming, wasteful re-cutting step on site.
This service is suitable for facade contractors, gutter installers, mechanical fabricators, advertising companies, and HVAC/refrigeration businesses — anyone who needs aluminum/stainless steel material cut to the exact width without wanting to stock full-size coils.
The Slitting Process at Kim Khi 506
- Request intake — the customer submits the material grade, thickness, required slitting width, and quantity via the form or hotline.
- Solution Consulting — our technical team advises on the right material grade and thickness if the customer has not yet decided.
- Quotation & Confirmation — send a detailed quote with CQ/CO certificates, confirm the order.
- Slitting & Delivery — automated slitting into sheets/narrow coils to exact specification, delivered according to project schedule.
Things to note when placing an order
- Clearly specify the material grade (e.g. aluminum A5052, stainless steel 304) and heat-treatment temper if applicable (H14, H32...).
- Clearly state the desired slitting width and the acceptable tolerance.
- Can be used the material weight calculator to estimate the quantity before finalizing the order.
Benefits compared to self-cutting materials
- Reduces material waste by slitting to the exact width from the start, avoiding trial-and-error cutting on site.
- Saves construction time since materials arrive on site ready to use immediately.
- Materials with full quality and origin certificates (CQ/CO).
Frequently Asked Questions
Does slitting apply to both aluminum and stainless steel?
Yes. Kim Khi 506 provides slitting for both aluminum alloys (A1050, A3003, A5052, A6061, A7075, 8011) and stainless steel (201, 304, 316, 430).
What is the minimum quantity for a slitting order?
Depends on the specific material grade and width — send your request via Services page for consultation on the right quantity for each order.
Can you slit to non-standard (custom) widths?
Yes, our slitting system can produce widths to your exact order requirements, not limited to standard specifications.
How long does delivery usually take?
Delivery time depends on the quantity and the specific project schedule — it is clearly confirmed at the quotation stage before the customer finalizes the order.
Does slit material come with certificates?
Yes, all materials come with quality and origin certificates (CQ/CO).
