Steel Pressings

Steel is an alloy primarily based on iron, with a small percentage of carbon added, typically between 0.2% and 2.1%. This combination enhances the hardness and strength of the iron, making it into steel one of the most widely used materials in industries. The versatility of steel allows it to be manufactured in different grades and shapes, including pressings.

Properties of Steel

Steel possesses several key properties that make it an excellent choice for pressings:

  • High Strength: Steel’s high tensile strength provides durability and resistance to deformation, making it suitable for parts that endure significant loads.
  • Formability: Steel can be easily moulded and shaped through various processes, including stamping and bending, allowing for complex designs in pressings.

Stainless Steel Pressings

Stainless steel is a specific type of steel that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium, which forms a protective layer on the surface. This composition gives stainless steel unique attributes:

  • Corrosion Resistance: The presence of chromium significantly enhances resistance to rust and corrosion, making stainless steel ideal for challenging environments.
  • Aesthetic Qualities: With its shiny, smooth finish, stainless steel often enjoys preference in applications where appearance is a factor, such as in consumer goods and architectural elements.
  • Thermal Stability: Stainless steel maintains its properties even under high temperatures, ideal for applications in industries that experience extreme conditions.

Applications of Steel Pressings

Steel pressings find broad usage across a broad range of industries:

  • Automotive: Steel pressings are used in vehicle manufacturing for components such as chassis, brackets, and body panels that require both strength and precision.
  • Aerospace: In the aerospace sector, steel pressings are crucial for structural components that must withstand high loads and varying temperatures.
  • Electronics: Components such as housings and brackets are often produced from steel pressings, providing durability and protection for sensitive electronic equipment.
  • Construction: Steel pressings are commonly employed in construction for structural support elements such as beams and fittings due to their robustness.
