Ultra-thin 304 Stainless Steel Sheet Plate Foil Strip 100*1000mm Thick 0.01-1mm

Measure the gap you need to fill with a feeler gauge, then select the closest thickness option. For stacked shims, combine two or more pieces — for example, a 0.05 mm + 0.03 mm strip gives you 0.08 mm total. Start thinner than your target gap and test-fit before committing to a thicker piece.

304 SS has a typical tensile strength of 515–690 MPa, which is adequate for most light-to-medium shimming tasks such as leveling machine bases, aligning bearing housings, or filling gaps in jigs. For high-load or high-cycle fatigue applications, consult an engineer — spring steel or 316 SS may be more appropriate.

304 stainless steel resists rust in most outdoor and humid environments thanks to its passive chromium oxide layer. It performs well in rain, moderate salt spray, and mild chemical exposure. For prolonged immersion in saltwater or contact with chlorinated solutions, 316 stainless steel offers better resistance.

Thicknesses ≤ 0.1 mm can be cut with heavy-duty scissors, a craft knife and straightedge, or scored and snapped cleanly. Thicknesses 0.15–0.5 mm work well with aviation tin snips or a rotary tool with a cutting disc. For 0.6 mm and above, use metal shears, a bandsaw with a metal blade, or a waterjet/laser cutter for precision edges.

Not exactly. Hardware-store shim stock is often cold-rolled steel or brass. This product is 304 stainless steel in an annealed (soft) temper, which means it is more corrosion-resistant than plain steel shim stock but less springy than hardened spring steel. It is an excellent choice when corrosion resistance matters more than spring-back force.

Yes. Because each piece is sold individually, you can order two or more different thicknesses and stack them to achieve an intermediate value. The flat, consistent surface of each strip ensures even contact when layered. Use a small amount of machine oil between layers if you need them to slide for adjustment.

The strip has a standard mill/2B finish — smooth and matte — with no additional protective film or coating applied. Handle thinner gauges (≤ 0.05 mm) with clean gloves to avoid fingerprint etching on the surface over time.
