Forming Stainless Steel Sheet Metal

Capable of handling up to 60 in.

Forming stainless steel sheet metal.

Stainless steel presents special requirements for forming processes. Precision roll forming services for sheet metals such as aluminum copper steel and stainless steel. Scoring stainless steel sheets with a grinder eases the hand bending process. It should also be noted that austenitic stainless steels can t be heat treated meaning that cold forming may be your only option.

Sheet metal joining using only the parent materials. Stainless mild steel high strength aluminum and numerous other types of processed steel are all used in our metal forming services. As you bend a stainless steel sheet the bend area cold hardens increasing the amount of pressure required to finish the bend. We manufacture frame channels stair pans trailer components kick plates and many other products servicing the automotive construction ornamental and industrial.

Materials worked with include aluminum steel stainless steel and copper. Another good alternative is duplex stainless steel which combines the properties of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. Tour trusted services provider. This added hardness increases the amount of force needed to place a bend on a stainless steel sheet.

They are called stainless because a chromium or nickel oxide film forms on the sheet surface effectively protecting the steel against corrosion. Sheet size and 120 in. Metal forming materials applications. Available in prototypes high volume parts and short production runs.

These alloys also tend to respond well to cold forming. The required higher forming forces result in higher surface stresses on the joining tools.
