Grade 35 Carbon-steel Strip for Locating Pieces and Shims
Published
Grade 35 carbon steel strip is commonly used for mechanical locating plates and shims blanks. Purchasing should focus on flatness, thickness allowance, hole processing, and whether grinding is needed; raw material thickness does not equal assembly clearance. Jiangsu Gaozhen handles enquiries by grade, dimensions and processing requirements.
35#: material and applications
Grade 35 is a carbon structural steel grade, supplied as cold-rolled steel strip in the Gaozhen product catalog. Cold-rolled strip offers uniform thickness and a relatively good surface condition, making it suitable for blanking, bending, and other forming operations. It is commonly used for mechanical locating plates, shims blanks, and similar parts requiring flatness and thickness consistency. When selecting Grade 35 strip, purchasers should evaluate the material condition against the part's final service requirements rather than judging suitability by grade alone. For shims that will be ground later, the original thickness and flatness of the strip affect grinding allowance distribution; for locating plates formed directly by stamping, flatness influences feeding and hole position accuracy. Grade 35 strip can suit various cold-formed parts, but specific dimensions and condition should be confirmed with the supplier.
Typical Parts and Processing Steps
Grade 35 strip can be used as drawn stock for locating pieces and shims. Locating pieces emphasise holes, outlines and locating faces, while shims often focus on thickness and assembly clearance. Both require stock dimensions to be related to finished dimensions, but their inspection locations and further processing can differ.
Where grinding follows, include the process-approved removal allowance in the incoming thickness. For parts without later grinding, consider incoming tolerance and forming changes against the drawing. Define whether acceptance dimensions apply before or after surface treatment. Trial fitting after the complete process can reveal distortion or fit issues not visible in the original sheet.
Purchasing Details and Rationale
For Grade 35 strip, specify nominal gauge, tolerance, width and delivery condition. For precut blanks, add outline, quantity and further-machining allowance. Provide final dimensions and the planned route where grinding or finishing follows, with allowances confirmed by the fabricator.
Match packaging to the delivery form: coils need edge and moisture protection, while sheets or individual blanks need suitable support, separation and securing for their flatness requirements. Defining the delivery stage avoids applying finished-part criteria to raw stock or accepting processed parts without the relevant dimensional records.
FAQ: Can Raw Material Be Ordered at Finished Thickness?
Thickness allowance depends on what follows. Grinding or other material-removal operations require stock thickness set by the process. Without later material removal, stock at the corresponding gauge can be assessed against final tolerances. Provide finished dimensions, subsequent operations and acceptance stage rather than applying one allowance to every shim.
35# dimensions and supply enquiry
The Gaozhen 35# product page lists these catalogue dimensions: Thickness range: 0.2-6.0 mm; Width range: 8-350 mm. These values support specification discussions; confirm the required combination of gauge, width and condition for the material.
For carbon strip, provide blank dimensions, delivery condition and later processing. Distinguish stock dimensions from finished dimensions where grinding, forming or treatment follows.
