Each metal, including aluminum and stainless steel, makes up around 75% of all the Periodic Table elements. However, they vary in their melting point, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, strength, and several other properties due to altered compositions.
Different processing methods and compositions are why every metal can be made into various forms — the possibilities are endless. ... Houston Metallurgical Testing Services

Aluminum is a very common material that features excellent versatility. As such, it is frequently used in a number of different manufacturing processes. The metal is an absolute staple when it comes to its applications. However, it can be a bit of a challenge to work with aluminum. It requires a skilled professional to keep the workability problem-free, and the process of aluminum slitting is no different.
Certain grades of aluminum slit like butter, while others can be very difficult to slit. The service provider you choose should be a professional operation that can handle your specific requirements. Also, since aluminum is different from steel, the slitting process requires different kinds of tools. Slitters that can strike wide aluminum coils into narrow ribbons with precision are key. ...

Type 304 and 304L are commonly used austenitic stainless steel. These are relatively low cost, extremely formidable, and resistant to atmospheric corrosion. Both types have similar chemical and mechanical properties, but the main difference lies in their carbon content.
You might be wondering, what makes these two stainless steels so versatile, and what are the differences between them? Keep reading below to learn how these two grades of stainless steel differ in terms of features and applications. ...

Grade 430 stainless steel is by far the most sought-after non-hardenable, straight chromium type of stainless steel. It is a general-purpose alloy that falls under the ferritic stainless steel class. Type 430 offers an excellent combination of (mild) atmospheric corrosion resistance and formability, with many useful mechanical properties. This grade of stainless steel can also be enhanced and be reflectivity enriched with bright annealing. It is highly magnetic, and it’s ideal for use in the automotive, architectural, and several other industries. At National Kwikmetal Service, we employ a highly efficient and qualified workforce with the most up-to-date equipment and advanced technology to slit compact, malleable, and lightweight coils. ...

Stainless Steel and Aluminum are strong yet malleable metals. With its vast array of processing capabilities NKS provides quality material fit for your intended application.
A great use of the flexibility of Stainless Steel and Aluminum is the process of Roll Forming. Roll Forming steel is the continuous bending of a metal strip at room temperature. This process progressively shapes the metal until it achieves the desired profile. Tandem sets of rolls progressively shape the metal until the desired cross-sectional profile is achieved. ...

Finned Tubes are a series of tubes used in applications involving the transfer of heat from a hot fluid to a cold fluid through a tube wall. In other words, finned tubes use their “fins” to increase the surface area against which the outside fluid comes in contact. The tube then exchanges the heat between the fluid inside the tube and the fluid outside of the tube. These tubes are often made with Stainless Steel, specifically 300 and 400 series, because of a few key characteristics that the specialty metal boasts. ... Stainless Steel in Finned Tubing
