Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a term for alloyed or unalloyed steels with a particular degree of purity.
In every day life, it is referred to as stainless steel.

We cut stainless steel plates with the laser or the water jet as standard.
The material thicness is crucial for the cutting process.
We cut stainless steel plates with a thickness of 0.5mm up to and including 10mm with the laser.
Stainless steel plates with a thickness from 12mm u to and including 140mm are cut with the water jet.

Enclose you can see the common stainless steel materials.
Should your desired material differ, just send us an inquiry with the desired material.
