Industrial shims are manufactured in a wide range of material grades to meet diverse strength, corrosion resistance, and temperature requirements across industries. Stainless steel grades such as 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 310, 321, and 410 are widely used for their durability and corrosion resistance, while Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 offer enhanced strength and superior resistance in aggressive environments like offshore and chemical processing. Carbon steel and alloy steel grades including ASTM A36, EN 19, and EN 24 are preferred for heavy engineering and structural applications due to their high tensile strength. For extreme temperature and corrosive conditions, nickel alloys such as Inconel 600, 625, 718, Monel 400, Hastelloy C276/C22, and Incoloy 800/825 are commonly selected. Additionally, lightweight and non-ferrous options like Titanium Grade 2, Brass, and Copper are used where conductivity, weight reduction, or specific corrosion resistance is required. This wide grade availability ensures precision alignment, load distribution, and long-term reliability in industrial applications.

The shim weight chart provides a clear reference for calculating the approximate weight of shim sheets and strips based on thickness and standard dimensions. Using the standard density of stainless steel (7.85 g/cm³), the weight increases proportionally with thickness, making it easy to estimate material requirements for industrial applications. For example, a 1 mm thick shim sheet of 1000 mm × 1000 mm weighs approximately 7.85 kg, while thinner shims such as 0.10 mm are significantly lighter and ideal for precision alignment tasks. The chart also helps buyers compare weights when selecting alternative materials like aluminium, brass, copper, or titanium, which have different densities. This information is essential for procurement planning, cost estimation, transportation calculations, and bulk industrial supply management.

Stainless Steel Slotted Shims Stainless Steel Slotted Shims
Stainless Steel Slotted Shims are highly preferred in industries because of their easy installation process. They feature a slot design that allows quick placement without removing bolts or dismantling machinery, making them extremely efficient during maintenance. These shims are corrosion resistant, heat resistant, and highly durable, making them suitable for harsh environments. They are widely used in automotive, construction, and power generation sectors for precision alignment and vibration reduction.

Carbon Steel Shims Carbon Steel Shims
Carbon Steel Shims are robust, strong, and capable of withstanding heavy loads. They are designed for applications where high strength and toughness are critical. Industries such as heavy machinery, mining, and construction rely on carbon steel shims to provide support and alignment in demanding conditions. Their ability to handle extreme stress and impact loads makes them an essential choice for industrial grade applications.

Brass Shims Brass Shims
Brass Shims are known for their excellent corrosion resistance and high thermal and electrical conductivity. They are widely used in electrical components, marine equipment, and decorative applications where both performance and appearance are important. Their malleability allows for easy shaping and adjustment without cracking, making them ideal for delicate machinery. Brass shims are also non magnetic, which makes them suitable for applications requiring non ferrous materials.
