Something About Stainless Steel Sheet

Stainless steel sheet was invented in 1908 by Harry Bearley and was used mostly starting in the 1920s for the interior of gun barrels to inhibit rust, and still is today.

Stainless steel sheet is extensively used today to clad upper end kitchen appliances. Appliances included are refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, dishwashers, vents and even washers and dryers, and we also see more and more barbeque grills showing off stainless steel finishes. Some other noticeable uses for stainless steel sheet are storage tanks for wine, beer and petroleum.

Additional uses is the massive medical industry where you'll find stainless steel sheet being used for tables and to make a huge selection of medical instruments such as clamps, hemostats, scalpels and other instruments.

You will certainly see stainless steel sheeting being used in the automotive industry for decorative trim. Again the advantage being that it is easy to keep clean, it's attractive and will not rust. I would be remiss if I didn't also mention that stainless steel sheet is used for flatware. There is an endless variety of stamped designs and styles of stainless flatware.

Architecturally an early noticeable use was on the top of the Chrysler building with its art deco design, which was finished in 1930. Another architectural landmark clad in stainless steel sheet is the St. Louis Gateway arch.

You can order stainless steel from most large metal suppliers. Usually the minimum order is 2000 pounds or more. It is available by type, temper, widths: custom cut from 4″ to full 60″ wide sheets. You can have lengths cut to 192 inches. It is generally available from .012″ to 6″ plate by gauge. Availability in a number of finishes gives great latitude to possible applications.

Stainless steel sheet is probably one of the most popular metal forms we have in use today.
