Forged Stainless Steel Plate Thickness 10 - 300mm Grade 201 304 316L 310S 410 420 431 630

WHY INDUSTRIES USE STAINLESS STEEL FORGINGS

Stainless steel has virtually limitless uses within a number of industries. To the layman, stainless steel is most often seen in the kitchen in sinks, stovetops, and flatware. The below industrial uses show its true versatility:

• Can withstand frequent cleaning or sanitizing, such as medical devices, food service equipment and processing equipment
• High corrosion resistance allows for prolonged exposure to corrosive environments such as pumps, valves, chemical and petrochemical processing equipment, and marine equipment
• Stainless Steel has high heat resistance in situations where it is used for heat exchangers, furnaces and ovens
• High performance in high wear and high stress environments, such as landing gears, motor components, fittings and connectors
• Using its high strength and stability in finished products such as frames, shafts/structural components and fittings

Custom Stainless Steel Forging Advantages

The forging stainless steel process provides a wide range of benefits for your forged part project requirement needs. Great Lakes Forge creates custom stainless steel forging parts with the following benefits:

• Protective Oxide Layer - Stainless steel open die forgings contain a protective oxide layer that enhances corrosion resistance. These metal forgings resist stress cracking, crevice corrosion, pitting, deformation, and other hazards that could shorten the life span of a forged part.
• High Corrosion Resistance – Custom stainless steel forgings allow prolonged exposure to corrosive environments such as pumps, valves, chemical and petrochemical processing equipment, and marine equipment.
• High Heat Resistance - Stainless steel forged parts maintain incredibly high heat resistance qualities in situations used for heat exchangers, furnaces, and ovens.

In addition, stainless steel forgings retain all of the advantages of a forged part - the open die forging process contains the internal grain of the stainless steel, which creates a much more substantial part than a cast or machined part.

There are also certain disadvantages associated with using stainless steel as your material of choice for your forging needs. Some disadvantages associated with stainless steel are its high cost, fabrication handling ability, difficulty in welding, and finishing challenges.
