Stainless Steel Usage Guide
Stainless Steel Usage Guide Cutting and Stamping Techniques : Higher pressure is needed for stamping and shearing stainless steel compared to general materials. Accurate knife gaps prevent work hardening. Best Methods : Plasma or laser cutting is recommended. If gas or arc cutting is used, grind the heat-affected zone and perform heat treatment if necessary. Bending Thin Plates : Can be bent to 180 degrees. The radius should be twice the plate thickness to reduce surface cracks. Thick Plates : When bending along the rolling direction, use a radius of 2 times the thickness. For bending perpendicular to the rolling direction, use a radius of 4 times the thickness. Welding : Grind the welding area surface to prevent processing cracks. Drawing Lubrication : Use pressure-resistant and heat-resistant lubricating oil to manage frictional heat during deep processing. Remove oil from the surface after forming. Welding Preparation : Remove rust, oil, moisture, paint, and other contaminants...
