Causes And Prevention Methods Of Deformation For Stainless Steel Sheets

Causes of deformation for stainless steel sheets

l  Processing condition issues: Stainless steel sheets generally require bending, shearing, stamping, welding and other operations. It is very important to master the processing conditions in these operations. Some improper operations may cause deformation of stainless steel sheets, such as improper pressure settings, irregular operations, etc.

l  Material properties issues: The properties of stainless steel determine its ability to respond to forces, and its sensitivity to external forces also determines its tendency to deform. Stainless steel sheets, made of different materials, have different thickness, hardness, elongation and other properties. Choosing inappropriate materials can easily lead to deformation.

l  Unreasonable design problem: The design of stainless steel sheets before use is very important. Poor design can easily cause sheets deformation. Unreasonable design includes factors such as insufficient thickness, improper geometric dimensions, and unreasonable structural design.


Methods To Prevent Stainless Steel Sheet Deformation

²   Choose appropriate parameters during processing

When processing stainless steel plates, appropriate processing parameters should be selected, such as appropriate tool angles, cutting speeds, cutting depths, etc., to ensure flatness and dimensional accuracy during plate processing.

²   Choose suitable stainless steel material

Stainless steel plates made of different materials have differences in strength, tensile strength, etc. It is necessary to select the appropriate stainless steel material according to specific customer needs.

²   Reasonable design

For the design of stainless steel plates before use, attention needs to be paid to structural rationality, including plate thickness, geometric dimensions, etc., to avoid plate deformation due to improper design.

²   Use high quality materials

High-quality stainless steel materials not only have high strength and flatness, but also have good stability, which can reduce the incidence of plate deformation.

²   Strengthen quality inspection

Strengthening quality management is an effective way to prevent stainless steel plates from deforming. Strict quality inspection procedures should be implemented during mass production to ensure the standardization and refinement of each batch of products.


How To Straighten Curved Stainless Steel Sheets?

Straighten stainless steel sheets manually

v  Use boards and clamps: First, you need to prepare a thick wooden board, and then place the curved stainless steel sheet on the wooden board. Then clamp the stainless steel sheet and the wooden board to straighten the curved part. This method is suitable for smaller stainless steel sheets and requires patience and careful operation.

v  Use pliers or hammer: This is a more common method of manually straightening stainless steel plates. First, you need to prepare a large pair of pliers or hammer, then place the pliers or hammer on the curved part and slowly press the stainless steel sheet straight. Although this method is fast, it requires skill and proficiency to achieve good results.

Straighten stainless steel sheets by machines

v  Use a bending machine: The bending machine is a professional equipment that can help straighten stainless steel sheets quickly and accurately. Place the bent stainless steel sheet and the bending machine on the same horizontal line, then start the bending machine and let it automatically straighten the curve on the stainless steel sheet. This method is fast and effective, but requires appropriate equipment.

v  Use a plate bending machine: The plate rolling machine is also a professional equipment that can shape stainless steel sheets according to the designed bending degree. If you need to straighten the curved stainless steel plate, you can use a plate rolling machine to re-roll it into a straight stainless steel sheet. It should be noted that this method is only suitable for stainless steel sheets that require more processing.
