Stainless Steel — Sheet Metal Materials

Stainless steel is a strong, rust-proof metal. We cut, bend, and weld it into clean, durable parts.

Overview

What Is Stainless Steel Sheet Metal?

Stainless steel is a strong, rust-proof metal. We cut, bend, and weld it into clean, durable parts.

Material: Stainless Steel

Stainless steel sheet resists rust and looks clean. We cut, bend, and weld it into enclosures, brackets, and panels that last outdoors and in food or medical use.

Process: Sheet Metal Fabrication

We cut, bend, and join flat metal sheets into strong, light parts.

Result: Formed Metal Parts

Brackets, enclosures, and panels made to your spec, in low or high volume.

Design Review (DFM)

Our engineers check bend radius, flanges, and holes. We suggest changes that cut cost.

Cutting

We laser cut or punch the flat sheet to the exact shape you need.

Bending & Forming

We bend and form the parts on press brakes into the final shape.

Finish & Ship

We weld, finish, and inspect each part, then pack and ship worldwide.

Applications

Where Stainless Steel Is Used

Enclosures

Clean housings for electronics and labs.

Brackets & Panels

Structural and mounting parts.

Kitchen & Food

Sanitary equipment and trays.

Architecture

Cladding, rails, and trims.

Design Tips

Easy Design Tips for Beginners

New to this process? These simple rules help your part turn out well and cost less.

Mind the Bend Radius

Keep the inner bend radius at least equal to the material thickness to avoid cracks.

Leave Room for Flanges

Add enough straight length beside bends so the press brake can grip the part.

Size Your Holes

Holes should be at least equal to the thickness from an edge and sized for clean punching.

Finishes

Surface Finishes for Stainless Steel Parts

Anodizing

A hard, colored coating that protects aluminum and looks clean.

Powder Coating

A durable painted layer in many colors for indoor or outdoor use.

Brushed & Bead Blast

A uniform matte texture that hides scratches.

Painting

A custom liquid paint finish for branding or matching.
