Forming Stainless Steel Sheet Metal

Precision roll forming services for sheet metals such as aluminum copper steel and stainless steel.

Forming stainless steel sheet metal.

Materials worked with include aluminum steel stainless steel and copper. Scoring stainless steel sheets with a grinder eases the hand bending process. This added hardness increases the amount of force needed to place a bend on a stainless steel sheet. Another good alternative is duplex stainless steel which combines the properties of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels.

It should also be noted that austenitic stainless steels can t be heat treated meaning that cold forming may be your only option. Metal forming materials applications. These alloys also tend to respond well to cold forming. They are called stainless because a chromium or nickel oxide film forms on the sheet surface effectively protecting the steel against corrosion.

Available in prototypes high volume parts and short production runs. As you bend a stainless steel sheet the bend area cold hardens increasing the amount of pressure required to finish the bend. Capable of handling up to 60 in. The required higher forming forces result in higher surface stresses on the joining tools.

Chromium and nickel give stainless steel its stain resistance and attribute to the hardness of the metal. Stainless mild steel high strength aluminum and numerous other types of processed steel are all used in our metal forming services. Sheet size and 120 in. We manufacture frame channels stair pans trailer components kick plates and many other products servicing the automotive construction ornamental and industrial.

Sheet metal joining using only the parent materials. The tox joining technology can be used safely and efficiently even for stainless steel applications.
