Stainless steel "full hard" but in a roll?
(OP)
Hi,
I need some stainless steel that is 0.2mm thick that doesn't deform. I have found some stainless 304 that is "full hard" but it comes in a roll so I'm thinking it must bend because it'll come in a can. I just don't know what I'm googling for any more. I thought "full hard" meant stainless would not bend? What do I need to buy? Is there a particular term such as low ductility that I need to look for? I basically need a sheet of 0.2mm stainless that won't deform without a lot of trying, it doesn't necessarily have to be 304. Thanks. Antknee.

Google for flat shim stock. Or go here:

click on stainless steel on the left side, and scroll to bottom.

I need 0.2mm stainless that will remain flat even when quite high force is applied. I would like it to be for example glass like and very resistant to flexing. I can't change the thickness.
I haven't considered spring stainless steel. I will go and google for it and also check the link given.
Thanks. Antknee.

But if it is in a roll - you might need the services of a "level line" - a series of rollers that will flatten it out. Takes a good operator to do it right.
Most steel service centers can do this..

Yes.

The strength only comes into play with how far you can flex it before it takes a set.

Hardness relates to yield strength, not stiffness.
RE: Stainless steel "full hard" but in a roll?
For my usage which grade of stainless would you recommend?
Thanks. Antknee.
RE: Stainless steel "full hard" but in a roll?
If you look in ASTM A666 you will see that the various SS grades have similar strength levels when hard rolled.
There is not a great difference between grades.

What is the best supplier of shim in Europe? The McMaster-Carr supplier is very good and I could use them, it'd be extra shipping though. Thanks. Ant.
RE: Stainless steel "full hard" but in a roll?
I am sure there are a number of suppliers in Europe - get on Google or your equivalent of our "Yellow Pages"
Or just call a steel service center - they can help or direct you!!

How much stronger is full hard SS302 likely to be? Or do I have to get some made especially "very very hard" for me?
Thanks,
Ant.
RE: Stainless steel "full hard" but in a roll?
How much it flexes has nothing to do with the strength/hardness.

The stainless I have is Rockwell Hardness C40, am I going to be able to source SS that is say C80 off the shelf?
My thought is that it'd be easier to source SS302 at Rockwell hardness over 40 but I'm not sure.
Thanks,
Ant.

According out of common alloys
http://w
Cr-Mo steels Cr 5% - 9%
is the stiffest.

Who do you think could roll me some?
Thanks,
