Advantages of Working with Stainless Steel Sheet Metal in Your Fabrication Project
Some people are surprised when we recommend working with stainless steel sheet metal. Often, stainless steel is thought of only in food trades where sterilization is of the utmost importance, but it is actually a great metal for all industries. And sheet metal, although thin, is extremely strong and durable when correctly designed and fabricated.
Advantages of stainless steel fabrication
Stainless steel has a lot more applications than you might think. It is often used for:
- Rolling toolboxes or parts carts
- Custom shelving and brackets
- Industrial desks and filing cabinets
- Custom parts for proprietary equipment
The reason stainless steel is so widely used is that it is very strong and durable. The same qualities that allow stainless steel to be used in sterile environments also make it resistant to corrosion of other types. In addition, stainless steel can withstand extreme temperatures, even high heat from water heaters or pressure valves.
Finally, stainless steel is 100 percent recyclable. When the item you have created can no longer be used, you can recycle it for a sustainable and eco-friendly business practice.
Advantages of sheet metal fabrication
If you have ever seen a sheet of metal wobbling as it was carried, you could be dubious about its ability to stand up against major wear and tear. But sheet metal, particularly stainless steel sheet metal, is very well suited for these applications.
Part of what makes our sheet metal fabrication a cut above the rest lies in our fabrication techniques. We combine the best in traditional craftsmanship and design with today’s computer assisted design (CAD) and manufacturing (CAM). Once all of the parameters have been determined and set, you get the highest precision and quality from a computerized fabrication.
In addition, you can mold and shape sheet metal with much more flexibility than you could get in machining or tooling. That means it can be used in many more applications across all industries. If stainless steel is found to be unsuitable for some reason, sheet metal is also available in other metals.
