Technical guides on stainless steel grade, form and finish selection.
The difference between 304 and 316 starts with molybdenum and becomes clear in chloride environments. Which grade suits which application, based on composition, PREN, mechanical values and an environment table?
Read304, 316, 430... the logic behind the three-digit codes: the austenitic, ferritic and martensitic family system.
ReadThe same alloy serves different production needs in different physical forms; choosing the right form is as important as the material.
ReadThe name 'stainless' is somewhat misleading: under the right conditions this steel can corrode too. The real mechanism is the passive chromium oxide layer.
ReadThe path from coil to ready-to-use part runs through four core processes: slitting, cut-to-length, laser cutting and bending. Which one when, and from which input to which output?
ReadThe same 304 or 316 sheet comes in very different finishes. Where are 2B, BA, No.4 satin and mirror finishes used, and on which do stains and marks show most?
ReadWhere are diamond and teardrop patterned stainless sheets used: stairs, platforms, trailer floors. What does the anti-slip effect provide, and how is it cleaned?
ReadSourcing directly from the mill, from a classic dealer or from a service center: the differences, the effect of stocked supply on lead time, and the benefits of buying from coil to cut from a single point.
ReadSupplier types when buying stainless steel sheet in Istanbul, what to prepare for a quote, what to check on delivery, and the processes offered by the Güven Paslanmaz service center in Dudullu OSB.
ReadStainless steel sheet weight is calculated as thickness x width x length x density. A density table by grade, kg/m² values by thickness, standard sizes and coil calculation explained with examples.
ReadWhat to know before having stainless steel sheet laser cut: cutting with nitrogen and air, points to watch by thickness, ISO 9013 edge quality, DXF file preparation and design rules.
ReadA guide, written from an engineer's point of view, to springback in stainless steel sheet bending, the logic of minimum bend radius, bend allowance calculation, design rules, surface protection and grade differences.
ReadSlitting produces narrow strip coils from coil, cut-to-length produces flat sheet from coil. The difference between the two processes, their outputs, inspection criteria, which to choose for which product and the information needed for a quote.
