Forming Stainless Steel Sheet Metal

Capable of handling up to 60 in.

Forming stainless steel sheet metal.

We manufacture frame channels stair pans trailer components kick plates and many other products servicing the automotive construction ornamental and industrial. Available in prototypes high volume parts and short production runs. The tox joining technology can be used safely and efficiently even for stainless steel applications. Tour trusted services provider.

These alloys also tend to respond well to cold forming. Sheet metal joining using only the parent materials. It should also be noted that austenitic stainless steels can t be heat treated meaning that cold forming may be your only option. Scoring stainless steel sheets with a grinder eases the hand bending process.

Stainless mild steel high strength aluminum and numerous other types of processed steel are all used in our metal forming services. Another good alternative is duplex stainless steel which combines the properties of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels. Stainless steel presents special requirements for forming processes. Precision roll forming services for sheet metals such as aluminum copper steel and stainless steel.

They are called stainless because a chromium or nickel oxide film forms on the sheet surface effectively protecting the steel against corrosion. This added hardness increases the amount of force needed to place a bend on a stainless steel sheet. As you bend a stainless steel sheet the bend area cold hardens increasing the amount of pressure required to finish the bend. The required higher forming forces result in higher surface stresses on the joining tools.

Materials worked with include aluminum steel stainless steel and copper. Stainless steels are alloy steels with iron as the primary constituent and chromium nickel and manganese as principal alloying elements.
