Every processing comes with individual requirements, which is why we offer a wide range of tools and machines specifically developed for stainless steel processing. Our solutions are ideal for processing stainless steel in various shapes and sizes, always ensuring a flawless surface.
Gentle Surface Processing – Challenges and Solutions
A crucial aspect of stainless steel processing is surface treatment. The high demands of the sheet metal processing industry have led manufacturers of non-rusting fine sheets to produce their semi-finished products with such high surface quality that often no rework is needed on the end product – only a final finish. Therefore, it is important to treat these sheets as gently as possible during further processing, as surface reworking through grinding and polishing is expensive and labor-intensive. Surface processing can be performed on equipment typically used for other metallic materials. However, the following physical properties of stainless steels must be taken into account:
- Higher Strength:
This can affect the removal rate and is associated with higher wear resistance in martensitic steels.
- Lower Thermal Conductivity in Austenitic Materials:
This can lead to heat build-up and distortions on the sheet surface with higher contact pressure or grinding speeds.
- Greater Thermal Expansion Coefficient in Austenitic Steels:
This is about 40% greater compared to ferritic steels and must be considered during processing.
It is essential to use special grinding and polishing agents for stainless steels. Also, tools used for processing stainless steels should only be used for these steels, as using them on unalloyed steels before processing stainless steels can lead to contamination and foreign rust formation. Therefore, it is advisable to separate work on un- or low-alloyed steels from grinding or polishing work on stainless steels.
