Flat Bar or Gauered Flat Bar from Plate

Discover the difference between flat bars and gauered flat bars cut from plates. Learn about their dimensional tolerances and the importance of edge and corner conditions in stainless and nickel alloy products.

Plate Thickness Variations

Plate Thickness Variation​ With the increased capability of hot mills to roll heavy coil (up to ½” thick), has come an increased awareness of the thickness variations that can be present in conventional discrete hot rolled plates. In the past, plate products with a thickness of 3/16″ or more were produced as individual pieces, commonly […]

Machining Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloys

In most circumstances, machining stainless steel and nickel alloys is more difficult than machining low-alloy steels. However, there are a wide range of compositions, and some grades can have better machinability than mild steel.

Plasma or Laser Processing: To Cut or Not to Cut

Plasma or Laser Processing To Cut or Not to Cut Plasma and laser cutting are fast, productive industrial processes for cutting metal parts. These state-of-the-art machines use high-powered directional beams, capable of scaling up from a computer-generated template while tracing a pattern being simultaneously cut. When the process begins, the area that is being cut […]
