Shim stock is essential for filling gaps between objects or surfaces that are meant to fit snugly together. It is specifically designed to be precisely shaped to fill these spaces effectively, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring stability in assembly or repair tasks. Its diverse applications range from machinery alignment to space adjustment in assembly lines, making it indispensable in precision engineering.
Shim Stock Materials Available
- Aluminum (1100/1145/1235): Lightweight, non-magnetic, and corrosion-resistant, ideal for general use in less demanding environments.
- Brass (260): Offers good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, suitable for decorative and architectural uses.
- Bronze (510): High strength and corrosion resistance, perfect for industrial applications.
- Copper (110): The most electrically conductive, making it perfect for electrical applications.
- Stainless Steel (18-8, 301, 316, 302): Known for their strength and durability, resistant to rust and corrosion, ideal for harsh environments.
- Low-Carbon Steel (1008-1010): Economical choice for non-corrosive environments where material hardness and resilience are key.
- Titanium (Grade 2): High strength, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant, used in aerospace and medical applications.
