Common Sheet Metal Fabrication Materials
- Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used metal because of it malleability property, meaning this steel can be bent, welded, folded, machined.
| Austenitic | 300 Series, non-magnetic |
| Ferritic | 400 Series, magnetic, sturdier, more durable less corrosion resistance than 300 Series |
| Martenistic | Not as corrosion resistant as austenistic or ferritic |
| Duplex | Approximately equivalent volume of Ferrite and Austenite |
| Spring-like steel | Resilient and pliable with a high yield strength |
- Aluminium
Aluminium is excellent material choice due to its properties. It’s lightweight, wear and tear resistant, corrossion resistant,
| 1100 | Ductility for welding, lowest strength |
| 3003 | Low-cost, weldable, corrosion resistance |
| 5052 | Weldability, corrosion resistance |
| 6061 | Can be tempered for extra strength and durability |
- Brass
An alloy of copper and zinc.
