Stainless steel is one of the most popular material choices when it comes to stamping services, and it’s easy to understand why. It’s loaded with benefits that don’t require any additional services, such as corrosion resistance, incredible durability and strength, and an aesthetically pleasing look.
But there are more reasons to opt for stainless steel stamping services. Winco Stamping works with stainless steel daily, and we see how the end result satisfies all of our customers.
Thinking about utilizing stainless steel, but have never done so before? Keep these considerations in mind before making your final decision.
Material Grade
While all stainless steel might look the same, there are different grades of the material based on chemical properties. Each of those grades has different qualities that make it a fit for specific applications.
Winco Stamping works with the four following grades: 301, 304, 316, 430.
301 graded stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and moderately high tensile strength. It’s common to see 301 stainless steel in stamped components for furniture. 304 graded stainless steel is widely used in the restaurant industry as it is food-grade quality and boasts moderate tensile strength.
With 316 graded stainless steel, molybdenum is incorporated into the material, which increases its corrosion resistance, but also adds a higher level of heat resistance while making the material stronger and more durable. You can find 316 graded stainless steel in industrial automation applications.
430 graded stainless steel offers maximum flexibility along with excellent corrosion resistance.
Industry Applications
Stainless steel is found in myriad industries with truly universal properties that make it desirable for any company. Winco Stamping works with the following industries often for stainless steel stamping services.
Lighting
The lighting industry will primarily use 430 graded stainless steel because of its natural flexibility, making it easy to work with.
Furniture
Stainless steel is often an essential part of furniture components because of its corrosion resistance, incredible strength and durability, and longevity.
Restaurant Equipment
Stainless steel is used in food-grade restaurant equipment because of its corrosion resistance and product strength. Items like food processors and cooking appliances can feature stainless steel stamped parts.
Agricultural
The agricultural industry relies on stainless steel because of how strong and durable the material is. High-tech milking machines, complex irrigation systems, and more utilize stainless steel.
Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment manufacturers will turn to Winco to provide stainless steel stamping services. They know how durable the product is, but also its heat resistance — and with heavy equipment, heat is always a consideration.
Industrial Automation
Many components for the industrial automation and robotics industries can be stamped from water-resistant stainless steel, making metals like 316 stainless steel a durable option for automation parts.
