1M-5M Stainless Steel Foil Sheet 0.05mm -1.0mm Thick Fine Plate Strip Steel

Measure the gap you need to fill with a feeler gauge, then select the thickness that matches or can be stacked to reach that measurement. For bearing housings and machine slides, 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm is a common starting range. For structural gap-filling, 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm is more typical.

Choose a width equal to or slightly wider than the surface you need to cover, then trim to fit. For narrow shims under bolts or pins, 10–30 mm widths work well. For gaskets or heat shields, 50–200 mm widths are more practical. Wider strips (300–600 mm) suit sheet-metal fabrication tasks.

Yes. 304 stainless steel has a typical tensile strength of 515–620 MPa, which is sufficient for most shimming and light structural applications. For extreme compressive loads or high-temperature environments above 870 °C, a higher-grade alloy may be more appropriate.

304 stainless steel forms a passive chromium-oxide layer that resists rust in most outdoor and humid environments. It performs well in fresh water and mild atmospheric conditions. In marine or chloride-rich environments, 316-grade stainless steel offers better resistance, but 304 is adequate for most general outdoor DIY applications.

Thinner gauges (0.01–0.1 mm) cut cleanly with sharp tin snips, a craft knife, or scissors. Mid-range thicknesses (0.1–0.5 mm) are best cut with aviation snips or a rotary cutter. Thicker gauges (0.5–1.0 mm) respond well to an angle grinder with a thin cutting disc or a laser cutter for precision shapes.

Yes — stainless steel foil sheet, shim stock, and thin stainless plate strip are all terms for the same type of product: a flat, precision-thickness strip of stainless steel used to fill gaps, adjust clearances, or serve as a thin structural element. This listing covers the full range from ultra-thin foil (0.01 mm) to heavier strip (1.0 mm).

For single repairs or prototyping, a 1 M or 2 M strip is usually sufficient. If you are making multiple shims, gaskets, or running a small production batch, a 5 M roll reduces the need for re-ordering. The 10 M option is available for select size combinations and suits ongoing workshop use.
