Forming Stainless Steel Sheet Metal
The tox joining technology can be used safely and efficiently even for stainless steel applications.
Forming stainless steel sheet metal. As you bend a stainless steel sheet the bend area cold hardens increasing the amount of pressure required to finish the bend. Materials worked with include aluminum steel stainless steel and copper. Sheet size and 120 in. These alloys also tend to respond well to cold forming.
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. Stainless steels are alloy steels with iron as the primary constituent and chromium nickel and manganese as principal alloying elements. 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. Scoring stainless steel sheets with a grinder eases the hand bending process. Chromium and nickel give stainless steel its stain resistance and attribute to the hardness of the metal. Tour trusted services provider.
This added hardness increases the amount of force needed to place a bend on a stainless steel sheet. The required higher forming forces result in higher surface stresses on the joining tools. We manufacture frame channels stair pans trailer components kick plates and many other products servicing the automotive construction ornamental and industrial. Capable of handling up to 60 in.
