The material quality of SS shim plates directly impacts their durability, performance, and suitability for heavy-duty machinery. Common grades offered by top shim manufacturers in India include SS 304/304L for general industrial use, SS 316/316L for marine and humid conditions, and SS 321/347 for high-temperature applications.
For specialized equipment, manufacturers can provide custom stainless steel grades tailored for extreme loads, wear, or corrosive environments. Using the right grade ensures dimensional stability, operational efficiency, and resistance to mechanical stress, corrosion, and temperature variations in cranes, hydraulics, and industrial machinery.
