Sheet Metal Molding Materials
Aluminum
Aluminum is being extensively employed in Sheet Metal Molding because it is lightweight, has good corrosion resistance, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. It can be easily cut, bent, and welded, thus being easily adaptable to different industrial applications. In the automobile industry, aluminum is being used for body panels, heat shields, and brackets. It is widely used in the electronics sector for enclosures and heat sinks because of its thermal conductivity. Aluminum is also used for aerospace structures to make lightweight yet high-strength components.
- Mill Lead Time: As fast as 3 days
- Finishes: Raw, anodized, powder coated, brushed, polished
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is Sheet Metal Molding’s preferred material due to its toughness, corrosion, and durability. It is applied in processes requiring toughness and resistance to wear. In the medical sector, stainless steel is found everywhere in enclosures, surgery equipment, and case hardware. Stainless steel finds applications in the food processing industry in hygienic equipment and kitchenware. Automotive and aerospace also rely on stainless steel for airplane structural components and brackets, and exhausts.
- Mill Lead Time: As fast as 5 days
- Finishes: Raw, brushed, polished, bead blasted, passivated
Carbon steel
Carbon steel is high in strength, low in cost, and simple to machine, which makes it an excellent Sheet Metal Molding material. It finds extensive applications in construction, industrial hardware for structure frames, mounting brackets, and enclosures. Carbon steel is used in body panels, reinforcements, and chassis parts in the automotive industry due to its high strength. Farm equipment and heavy equipment use the strength of carbon steel in applications for bearing stress.
- Mill Lead Time: As fast as 4 days
- Finishes: Raw, powder coated, painted, zinc-plated, black oxide
Brass
Brass succeeds in Sheet Metal Molding because of its excellent corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and good looks. Brass is most appropriate for embellishment metal components, architectural fittings, and musical instruments because of its golden appearance. For electronics, brass is most appropriate on connectors, terminals, and tiny components where there is a need for conductivity and non-magnetic qualities. Brass is also used in plumbing and marine commodities in the form of valves, fittings, and hardware because of its water corrosion resistance.
- Mill Lead Time: As fast as 6 days
- Finishes: Raw, polished, nickel-plated, chrome-plated
Copper
Copper is largely applied in Sheet Metal Molding owing to its corrosion resistance, malleability, and electrical and thermal conductivity. Copper is widely used in electrical fittings such as terminals, busbars, and heat exchangers. Copper is used on pipes and heat transfer equipment in HVAC applications. Copper is used by the automobile and aeronautical industries for radiators, heat sinks, and fuel lines because of their high thermal properties.
- Mill Lead Time: As fast as 5 days
- Finishes: Raw, polished, tin-plated, nickel-plated, patina finish
