Detailed Engineering Specifications

Built to exacting engineering tolerances, this 0.161" thick carbon steel stock sheet offers a precise 17" length and 23" width. Exhibiting a high tensile strength (typically 400-500 MPa) and yield strength (typically 250-350 MPa), it provides exceptional load-bearing capacity. Its excellent formability allows for intricate bending and shaping, while its inherent weldability facilitates seamless integration into larger structures. Ideal for fabricating custom brackets, support frames, custom trays, and reinforced panels within material handling systems where rigidity and impact resistance are paramount.

Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fasteners that cannot support the expected load.Select fasteners with a shear and tensile strength rating that exceeds the anticipated forces acting on the sheet.
Failing to account for material expansion/contraction due to temperature changes.Incorporate expansion joints or flexible mounting points where significant temperature fluctuations are expected.

Common Applications
