Stainless Steel

Our 5 powerful CNC laser cutting machines are running 24 hours a day, capable to profile a wide range of stainless steel grades and alloys in thicknesses up to 30mm. We have a selection of Stainless Steel in stock and if not, we can easily source it for you.

One of the most popular and versatile metals on the market, stainless steel is more expensive than other forms of steel but it’s strength, corrosion resistance and high quality finishes make it widely used within numerous industries throughout the world. We’ve cut stainless steel sheets for medical industries, design and architecture clients and we’ve even profiled male grooming products out of it!

We keep a wide range of stainless steel grades and thicknesses in stock, however If we don’t have a material in stock, we can usually source it within 24 hours. We can also cut your free issue material. Test certificates can be supplied when requested.

Regardless of your requirement, our 5 flat bed laser cutting machines and automation system allows us to cut around the clock ensuring a short lead time from drawing to delivery. Contact us today for a no-obligation quote.

Cutting Edge Quality

Laser cutting stainless steel provides a smooth finish quality, although this is sometimes degraded slightly on thicker sheets. As we shroud the laser in Nitrogen gases, it prevents oxidisation ensuring we achieve a clean, blemish free cut, ready for welding without any extra machining.

Grades

We’re able to laser cut stainless steel in all grades, some of the more common grades we get asked to cut include:

SS304 / 1.4301 Austenitic
SS304L / 1.4307 Austenitic
SS316 / 1.4401 Austenitic
SS316L / 1.4404 Austenitic
3CR12 / Nirosta 4003 / 1.4003 Ferritic

We also offer laser profiling of specialist stainless steels such as:

316Ti
321 / S32100
430 / 1.4016 Ferritic
Duplex
Super Duplex
Zeron
Shim Steel

We are laser cutting more and more nickel based, stainless steel alloys, also know as “exotic metals” including:

Inconel Alloy 625
Incoloy Alloy 800/800H
Incoloy Alloy 825
Hastelloy Steel

If the stainless steel grade you require is not in this list, we should still be able to source and cut it. Please contact us with your exact grade requirements.

We’ve been in the profiling business for over 35 years and today we’re considered one of the largest and most diverse specialist cutting companies in the UK. We continue to invest in the latest cutting and automation technology to provide our customers with the highest quality cut parts in the shortest possible lead time.Contact us with your requirements today and join over 5000 customers who choose us for their profiling needs.
If you have drawings to send, we’re happy to accept DXF, DWG or dimensioned PDF files. By sending the above file types, we can easily process your order with our quoting system which vastly improves the speed at which we can get you a price.
For simple profiles such as squares, rectangles and cirlces with simple holes or slots we can work without a drawing.Alternatively, we also have an in-house CAD drawing team who can draw up your profile for you.As well as this, we also have a Laser QC scanner which enables us to scan and convert a physical object to a readable CAD file.
