Creating custom stainless steel components isn’t just about cutting and welding—it’s about combining art and engineering to bring your complex designs to life. Whether you need sleek architectural panels, intricate brackets, or curved piping assemblies, here’s how we at Marley Metal Technology Co., Ltd. turn your stainless steel special shapes from concept to reality.
1. Choose the Right Grade and Thickness
Every project starts with material selection. We help you pick the optimal stainless steel grade (304, 316, duplex, etc.) based on corrosion resistance, strength, and budget. Thickness matters too: too thin, and the part may warp; too thick, and you waste material and add weight.
2. Precision Cutting—Laser, Waterjet, or Plasma
Once you’ve chosen your material, we use advanced cutting methods:
- Laser cutting for crisp edges and minimal heat-affected zones—ideal for detailed profiles.
- Waterjet cutting when you need zero thermal distortion or multi-layer slicing.
- Plasma cutting for thicker plates, balancing speed and cost.
Each method delivers smooth cuts that require minimal edge prep, speeding up the next steps.
3. Forming Special Shapes
Bending, rolling, and deep drawing let us create curves, angles, and contoured surfaces:
- CNC press brakes with custom tooling bend parts to exact angles—no guesswork.
- Rolling machines shape tubes and sheets into cylinders, cones, or arches.
- Deep drawing presses forge complex, seamless cups, housings, and panels.
Our in-house tooling library and experienced operators ensure each bend and roll matches your drawing—every time.
4. Expert Welding and Assembly
Complex shapes often require multi-piece fabrication. We rely on TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding techniques:
- TIG welding for clean, precise seams on thin-gauge parts.
- MIG welding for fast, strong joints on heavier sections.
- Spot welding or laser welding for minimal distortion on delicate assemblies.
Post-weld treatments—like stress relief and bead blending—keep distortion in check and prepare surfaces for finishing.
5. Surface Finishing and Passivation
A flawless finish isn’t just cosmetic—it protects against corrosion and wear:
- Grinding and sanding remove weld seams and tool marks.
- Polishing brings out that mirror sheen or brushed texture you envision.
- Passivation removes free iron and restores the stainless steel’s protective chromium oxide layer.
These steps guarantee both beauty and longevity.
6. Rigorous Quality Control
Before delivery, every special shape undergoes:
- Dimensional inspection with laser scanners or CMMs.
- Leak and pressure tests for piping assemblies.
- Visual and dye-penetrant inspections for weld integrity.
We document each test and provide traceable reports—so you can install with confidence.
