Sheet Metal Materials
Compare sheet metal materials to find the ideal solution for your project. From steel and aluminum to specialty alloys, our guide highlights key properties like strength, durability, and flexibility, helping you choose the right material for prototypes, production parts, or custom designs.
Stainless Steel 316
Durability, Corrosion Resistant, Strength, Weldability, Formability
Stainless steel 316 sheet is an austenitic stainless steel containing molybdenum, which gives it superior corrosion resistance compared to 304, especially in chloride environments. The 316 stainless steel sheet not only offers excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and pitting corrosion, but also has good toughness and weldability, making it resistant to cracking or deformation during processing. With a smooth and attractive surface that is easy to clean and maintain, it is ideal for use in chemical equipment, ships, medical devices, marine facilities, and high-end kitchen equipment where high corrosion resistance is required.
Galvanized Steel
Durability, Economical, Formability
Galvanized steel comes with a zinc coating that provides both corrosion resistance and an attractive appearance. Thanks to its excellent workability, the surface zinc layer is not easily cracked or peeled during forming and processing. Although part of the zinc layer may vaporize during welding, the remaining zinc still offers localized corrosion protection.
