Things to note when processing stainless steel
Stainless steel is a popular mechanical processing material today. With anti-rust properties, high durability and shiny beauty, easy to clean, stainless steel is used for many different fields. However, to be able to turn stainless steel billets into products with practical applications, it needs to go through many complicated stages. Here are 4 notes when processing stainless steel to create products that meet quality and aesthetic standards.
Choose the right type of stainless steel for each processing need
Each type of stainless steel will have a separate component ratio. So when calculating product shaping, it is necessary to choose the right material for each processed product.
For example, if you need to process products such as tanks and panels, you need to use stainless steel with good formability such as SUS 304 or SUS 430. It is not recommended to choose stainless steel grades of Martensitic group such as 410 to processing products with complex structures because they are often brittle, brittle and difficult to shape.
If corrosion resistance is an important criterion that you set when machining, then SUS 316 is the optimal choice. Because in SUS 316, there is an element of Molybdenum with outstanding anti-corrosion properties, especially in environments containing high concentrations of chloride.
Clean the dirt on the surface of the material before processing
Clean treatment of dirt on the surface of the material before processing is essential to avoid rust and oxidation in the welds. Especially when processing stainless steel used outdoors and in chemical plants.
Stainless steel processing should be done in a clean environment, without impurities and without much dirt to avoid generating magnetism, affecting the corrosion resistance of stainless steel materials. After machining, it is necessary to immediately clean the remaining impurities on the surface.
With cutting and stamping processing, it is necessary to use great pressure to avoid generating burrs and deforming the material. The use of plasma or laser cutting technology is recommended. In the case of gas or electric arc cutting, it is necessary to re-treat the affected cutting edge to ensure aesthetics.
With bend machining, depending on the thickness of the stainless steel sheet, the bend radius will be equal to, double or quadruple the material thickness to avoid generating cracks at the bending position.
When deep stamping should use lubricants to reduce pressure and heat when rubbing damages the stainless steel surface.
When welding is completed, it is necessary to select the corresponding welding rod and re-grind to avoid local corrosion.
Stainless steel surface treatment to create beautiful products
With products used in construction such as cipher plates, Grating floor panels may not have high aesthetic requirements. However, furniture products, billboards, etc. have high aesthetic requirements. Therefore, surface treatment is essential. This helps to increase the value of the product.
Depending on the requirements of the customer, the processing unit will perform polishing, grinding / scratching to create products with different surfaces. In addition, customers can also request for PVD plating in yellow, bronze or rose gold, black, etc. to suit different use spaces.
