Perforated Sheet Materials
Perforated sheet is available in aluminum, steel, galvanized steel, and stainless steel of varying thickness and sheet sizes
Aluminum:
Carbon Steel and Galvanized Steel:
Stainless Steel:
Aluminum:
- 3003 Alloy- The most common perforated aluminum grade which offers good corrosion resistance, moderate strength, weldability, and formability.
- 5052 Alloy- Less common than 3003 alloy for perforated aluminum but offers greater strength. Call for availability by perforation pattern.
Carbon Steel and Galvanized Steel:
- Carbon Steel- The least expensive of the perforated metals due to its susceptibility to corrosion. Typically only used for unexposed applications or protected with a coating.
- Galvanized Steel- Zinc coated metals are supplied pre-coated and may not be completely protected by the coating when the carbon steel core is exposed during the perforating process.
Stainless Steel:
- Type 304- The most commonly perforated stainless steel type which offers good corrosion resistance, strength, and fabricates well.
- Type 316- Superior corrosion resistance to type 304 stainless steel.
