Find the proper materials from the list to build your custom sheet metal parts.
| 1. SPCC | SPCC (Cold Rolled Carbon Steel Sheets and Strips in full form) is a material grade that refers to commercial quality cold rolled steel. The surface of SPCC steel is exposed to the air and therefore easily oxidized. The humid environment will speed up the oxidation process and produce red rust. It’s suggested to use paint, electroplating, or other protective materials to protect the surface in use. |  |
| 2. SECC | SECC is a galvanized stamping material that is electrolytically coated with a zinc layer on the surface of the cold-rolled sheet. SECC features mechanical properties and similar processability as ordinary cold-rolled steel sheets with superior corrosion resistance and decorative appearance. This type of material is very popular on the market since it can make durable metal stamping parts for furniture, home appliances, and electronic products. The computer case is a typical application. |   |
| 3. SGCC | SGCC refers to hot dip galvanized steel material. It’s semi-finished material after hot pickling or cold rolling. After cleaning, annealing, and immersion in the melted zinc tank (at a temperature of about 460°C), the steel sheet is plated with a zinc layer. Quenching, leveling, and special chemical treatment are applied afterward to produce SGCC materials. SGCC material is harder than SECC material with poor ductility (avoiding deep pumping design), thicker zinc layer, and poor weldability. |   |
| 4. SUS 304 | SUS 304 is one of the most widely used stainless steel. It’s more corrosion and heat-resistant since it contains Ni (nickel) elements. It has good mechanical properties with no hardening phenomenon in heat treatments and no elasticity. |  |
| 5. SUS 301 | SUS 301 is less corrosion resistant due to its lower composition of the Cr (chromium) element. However, this material can obtain good tensile force and hardness in stamping processing with good elasticity after the cold working process. It is usually used for shrapnel springs and anti-EMI. |  |
