Key benefits Durable and corrosion-resistant: Built to resist general corrosion so parts and assemblies last longer in typical environments. Easy to weld and process: Simplifies fabrication and repair, reducing labor time and cost. Reliable machinability: Cuts, mills and forms cleanly for accurate finishes and tight tolerances. Designed for plate work: Ideal for leveling and cutting metal plates during fabrication. How this product solves problems Reduces rework and downtime by offering a stable, corrosion-resistant material that maintains shape and strength under normal use. Speeds up production because the material is straightforward to weld and machine with common shop equipment. Improves fit and finish on assemblies through good machinability, minimizing secondary finishing work. What to watch for While corrosion-resistant, the material can be susceptible to corrosion cracking under certain conditions. Use appropriate stress relief, joint design and corrosion-control measures (e.g., protective coatings or environmental controls) when welding or operating in aggressive environments. Key attributes Function: Provides structural stability, ease of welding, and good machinability for metal plate leveling and cutting. Material: Corrosion-resistant metal suitable for fabrication; designed to withstand standard industrial use while requiring proper precautions against corrosion cracking. Compatibility: Works with common welding methods and standard machining tools used in metalworking shops. Performance: Delivers long service life in typical applications when processed and maintained correctly. Typical applications Sheet-metal fabrication: Leveling and cutting metal plates for cabinets, enclosures, or frames where corrosion resistance and weldability are needed. Industrial welding and assembly: Structural components and welded assemblies that require straightforward welding and long-lasting performance. Maintenance and repair: On-site plate repair, trimming and refitting where good machinability reduces turnaround time. Practical guidance Use recommended welding procedures and avoid excessive residual stress to minimize the risk of corrosion cracking. Select appropriate surface protection for aggressive environments to extend life. Match tooling and cutting parameters to standard recommendations for corrosion-resistant metals to achieve optimal finishes and dimensional accuracy.
