A stainless steel punched sheet is a type of metal sheet that has been mechanically or manually punched with holes or patterns. These sheets are widely used in industrial, architectural, and agricultural applications due to their strength, corrosion resistance, and customizability.
Key Features
Material: Made from stainless steel, often grades like 304 or 316.
304: General-purpose, corrosion-resistant.
316: Marine-grade, more resistant to saltwater and harsh environments.
Hole Patterns:
Round, square, slotted, hexagonal, or custom shapes.
Patterns can affect airflow, drainage, weight, and strength.
Sheet Thickness:
Varies from thin (around 0.5 mm) to thick (5+ mm) depending on use.
Open Area:
Refers to the percentage of the sheet that is open space due to the holes.
Affects ventilation, drainage, and filtration capabilities.
Common Uses
Aquaculture (e.g., oyster cages): Durable, corrosion-resistant material ideal for cages and baskets in marine environments.
Filtration systems: Acts as a screen or filter.
Architectural: Used for facades, sunscreens, and decorative panels.
Industrial: Safety guards, machine enclosures, ventilation covers.
Food processing: Hygienic and easy to clean, ideal for trays and drying racks.
Advantages
High corrosion resistance (especially 316 SS in marine or wet environments).
Long-lasting and durable under mechanical stress.
Non-reactive and hygienic, suitable for food and marine use.
Customizable to suit airflow, drainage, or strength requirements.
