Stainless steel sheets are easy to work with and used for countless applications, the chromium content gives stainless steel corrosion and stain-resistant properties, and stainless steel sheets are available in a wide range of thicknesses. 316 stainless steel sheet is a common grade of metal fabrication materials, offering superior corrosion resistance, and excellent wear resistance, and can be processed by welding, bending, and cutting. SS316 sheet metal parts are ideal for marine applications, underwater equipment, and surgical tools. Our dedicated team will assist worldwide customers in developing products for broad industries and fields. Get started with uploading your CAD drawing of the custom sheet metal parts to our site, we’ll give you a free and quick quote. As a sheet metal fabricator, we offer different grades, finishes, and configurations for your stainless steel parts.

What Are Sheet Metal Parts?
Sheet metal parts manufactured from sheet material through processing, are characterized by larger width and length but smaller height. They are widely used as mounting panels and base plates for various equipment and instruments. Sheet metal components have a large surface area, light structure, and simple profiles, and they undergo numerous machining processes.

The production of sheet metal parts involves techniques such as stamping, bending, and stretching, during which the thickness remains unchanged. Materials used can be metal sheets such as aluminum sheets and stainless steel sheets, or engineered boards such as thin plywood and medium-density fiberboard.

What Are the Best Stainless Steel Grades for Sheet Metal?
Some austenitic stainless steels like 304 and 316 are the most common alloy types used in sheet metal fabrication, other grades and series can also be fabricated if you need.
– 304 Stainless Steel: This grade is a popular choice for general-purpose and light-duty uses due to its excellent resistance to water, moisture, and oxidation. It contains chromium and nickel, making it resistant to rust and corrosion, easy to form and fabricate, and non-magnetic. Its durability and versatility make it suitable for architectural and decorative projects, as well as food and healthcare applications, where it can withstand most oxidizing acids and corrosive substances. However, it may rust in chloride environments, such as coastal areas with high salt levels.
– 316 Stainless Steel: This grade offers enhanced resistance to corrosion and chemicals, particularly chlorides, due to its higher molybdenum content. It is ideal for applications requiring high hygiene and cleanliness, such as medical instruments, food processing facilities, and chemical factories. Its properties include more powerful resistance to rust and chemicals, increased durability, and non-magnetizability. It is also widely used in coastal regions and chemical industries due to its ability to withstand harsh environments.
– 301 Stainless Steel: This lower-cost alternative to Type 304 is achieved by increasing its carbon content and decreasing the chromium and nickel content. While it is less resistant to corrosion than other grades, it is still suitable for various applications, including structural components for trains or appliance enclosures. Its properties include a tensile strength of 205 MPa, fatigue strength of 240 MPa, and elongation at a break of 40%.
