Stainless steel new technologies

Types of processing

Modern factories are equipped with efficient equipment for quality processing of stainless steel. Primary processing is hot or cold rolling. Then the rolled metal products are subjected to the following operations: cutting, stamping, turning, grinding, polishing, etc. Metallic and non-metallic coatings are applied to stainless steel products. No matter how the machining tool changes, the vast majority of methods are only effective when the metal is heated. When heated to high temperatures, stainless steel changes its structure and properties. Steel is heat treated in several steps, among which are: annealing, normalization, hardening, and tempering. These methods have been developed and refined over generations, but even today this long and time-consuming process requires metallurgists to be highly skilled and experienced. Some of the newest methods are plasma and laser treatment.

Laser treatment

It was developed in the second half of the last 20th century. Originally, industrial lasers were not very powerful or powerful enough to affect the metal. But with each new generation, their power increased and the technology improved. Advantages of laser treatment. The protective layer of the alloy is almost never traumatized. Due to the high precision of laser knives, thin parts and small assemblies are machined with a high degree of precision. Laser systems are available for both continuous and pulsed operation. Significant advantages include localized, precisely focused laser beam incandescence, fusing, and scorching of metal. However, when machining stainless steels with a laser, the necessary working conditions must be precisely adhered to.

Plasma method

This method provides fast, precise and high quality cutting of stainless steel and other thin sheet metal products. Processing by a jet of molten plasma appeared in the metallurgical industry later than laser technologies and in some cases is more preferable. When selecting a processing method for stainless steel rolled metal products, the type of steel and shape of the product are taken into account.
