CUSTOM SHEET

Sometimes, coil just doesn't cut it and you need sheet. At Brown Metals, we do everything to YOUR desired needs. 24" x 120"? Only if that's what you really want. Do you really need 5" x 14.280"? Sure, we can do that or any other dimensions you prefer. Don't settle for "standard sheet" when you really need custom sheet. And by the way, we make it more cost effective by doing it your way!

 

 

 

PACKAGING

Custom sizes also need custom packaging. We package our products to your specifications to ensure safe delivery to your facility. Custom box or skid sizes are standard at Brown Metals. We package the way you want at no extra cost. This is just a way we contribute to a lower overall cost in your production.

 

 

 

 

WIDE COIL

At Brown Metals, we bring most of our inventory in at 36" wide. Some light gauges are only available at 24". Please inquire with us regarding your precise needs. Brown Metals provides wide coil for your most difficult applications. Whether you are in the stencil industry,making bellows or just have an application that needs wide, flat stock, Brown Metals can supply exactly what you need. Don't settle for "commercial quality" when Brown Metals can deliver the best quality in the country at the most competitive price.

SLITTING

You need it how narrow? You need an extremely tight tolerance? Why have you not contacted us sooner? Brown Metals is the industry leader in light gauge slit coil. No company has more experienced slitter operators than Brown Metals. Extreme tight tolerances are our specialty. Do you need +/- 001” on your width? Well, it’s more than likely we can meet your needs. Give us a call or send us an email with your next inquiry.

GENERAL PROPERTIES
Type 410 is a hardenable, straight chromium stainless steel which combines superior wear resistance of high carbon alloys with the excellent corrosion resistance of chromium stainless steels. Oil quenching these alloys from temperatures between 1800°F to 1950°F (982 to 1066° C) produces the highest strength and/or wear resistance as well as corrosion resistance.

This alloy is used when strength, hardness, and/or wear resistance must be combined with corrosion resistance.

RESISTANCE TO CORROSION
Type 410 exhibits good corrosion resistance to atmospheric corrosion, potable water, and to mildly corrosive chemical environments because of its ability to form a tightly adherent oxide film which protects their surfaces from further attack. Exposure to chlorides in everyday type activities is generally satisfactory when proper cleaning is performed after exposure to use.

For maximum corrosion resistance to chemical environments, it is essential that the stainless steel surface be free of all heat tint or oxide formed during forging, annealing, or heat treating. Al surfaces must be ground or polished to remove any traces of oxide and surface decarburization. The parts should then immersed in a warm solution of 10-20% nitric acid to remove any residual iron. A thorough water rinse should follow the nitric acid treatment.

HEAT TREATMENT
 
To anneal this alloy, heat to 1500-1550° F (815-842° C) and hold for one hour per inch of thickness and furnace cool to room temperature. Such annealing should produce a Brinell hardness of 126-192 HB.

A hardening heat treatment is necessary to bring out the maximum hardness and wear resistance. Since these materials absorb heat very slowly, they should be heated gradually and allowed to remain at temperature long enough to ensure uniform temperature in thick sections. For maximum strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, slowly heat the alloy to 1800° F (982° C) and quench to room temperature in oil. For thin sections, air cooling can be substituted for the oil quench. If retained austenite is known to be present after the austenitizing and quench to room temperature, additional hardening response may be achieved by sub-zero cooling to about –100° F (-73° C). The as-quenched structure of fresh martensite is quite brittle and should be stress-relieved or tempered at approximately 400 to 500° F (204 to 260° C) to restore some ductility. During tempering between approximately 300° F (149° C) and 600° F (316° C), a relaxation of the martensite structure occurs whereby the volumetric stresses associated with the formation of martensite upon quenching are relieved. As a result, the martensite still exhibits its high hardness and wear resistance properties but some ductility is introduced at the loss of a few pints of hardness.
