Product Description
Product Description

METS specializes in OEM precision stainless steel 316 stamping, sheet metal bending, and welding parts for industrial applications exposed to corrosive environments. Our custom metal components are manufactured according to customer drawings, samples, and technical specifications to meet the dimensional, structural, and surface requirements of different equipment and assemblies.

Stainless steel 316 contains molybdenum, which generally provides better resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion than standard 304 stainless steel. This makes it a suitable material option for many applications involving moisture, salt exposure, industrial chemicals, and demanding operating environments. Actual corrosion resistance depends on the material grade, processing conditions, surface finish, chemical exposure, and service environment.

Using precision stamping, punching, bending, forming, and welding processes, METS manufactures customized brackets, mounting plates, enclosures, supports, connecting components, and other sheet metal parts. Our engineering team can evaluate component geometry, material thickness, joining requirements, and surface finishing options to develop a practical manufacturing solution.

As a manufacturer of precision metal stamping parts and custom tooling, METS supports OEM and ODM projects from drawing review and process evaluation to sample development and production coordination. We work with customers to establish clear specifications and support consistent manufacturing for industrial equipment, marine hardware, food processing machinery, chemical processing systems, and other applications requiring corrosion-resistant metal components.

Whether you need a small batch of prototype components or repeat production orders, METS can evaluate your requirements and provide a customized manufacturing proposal.

METS provides stamping die design and manufacturing support, including progressive dies, compound dies, and customized forming tooling. Tooling selection depends on component geometry, production volume, and dimensional requirements.

5. Material and Surface Finish Coordination

We help customers confirm the appropriate stainless steel grade and surface finish for their application. For corrosion-sensitive components, fabrication procedures, surface contamination, weld finishing, and post-weld cleaning should be considered as part of the overall corrosion protection strategy.

6. OEM and ODM Project Management

From drawing review and sample evaluation to production coordination and export packaging, METS supports customers throughout the custom manufacturing process.

Typical Industrial Applications
Marine and Offshore Equipment

Custom stainless steel 316 brackets, mounting plates, supports, and connection components can be used in selected marine equipment applications. Final material selection should consider seawater exposure, crevice conditions, and the severity of the operating environment.

Chemical Processing Equipment

Suitable for selected equipment supports, mounting structures, covers, and formed components exposed to industrial chemicals. Chemical compatibility must be evaluated against the specific chemicals, concentrations, temperatures, and exposure duration.

Food Processing Machinery

Custom stamped and welded stainless steel parts can be used in selected food processing equipment. Applications requiring hygienic design should specify suitable surface finishes, weld profiles, cleanability, and applicable food-contact requirements.

Industrial Machinery

Stainless steel 316 brackets, supports, enclosures, and connecting parts can support machinery operating in humid, corrosive, or washdown environments.

Water Treatment Equipment

Suitable for selected mounting hardware, structural supports, covers, and sheet metal components used in water treatment systems, subject to the water chemistry and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can METS manufacture stainless steel 316 stamping and welding parts according to my drawings?

Yes. METS can review customer drawings, CAD files, or physical samples to evaluate custom stamping, bending, forming, and welding requirements. Final feasibility depends on the part geometry, material thickness, tolerances, and production volume.

Q2: Why choose stainless steel 316 for corrosive environments?

Stainless steel 316 contains molybdenum, which generally improves resistance to chloride-induced pitting and crevice corrosion compared with stainless steel 304. It is suitable for many demanding environments, but it is not immune to all forms of corrosion. Material suitability should be evaluated against the actual operating conditions.

Q3: What is the difference between stainless steel 316 and 316L?

316L has a lower maximum carbon content than standard 316. The lower carbon content can reduce the risk of sensitization during welding, making 316L a common option for welded stainless steel fabrications. The appropriate grade depends on the design, welding process, material specifications, and service conditions.

Q4: Can METS combine stamping, bending, and welding in one project?

Yes. These processes can be coordinated according to the component design. The manufacturing sequence is selected based on geometry, dimensional requirements, joint design, production volume, and tooling considerations.

Q5: What welding methods can be used for stainless steel 316 parts?

The appropriate method depends on material thickness, joint design, appearance requirements, and structural performance. TIG or MIG welding may be suitable for certain applications, but the final method and welding procedure should be confirmed during technical review.
