What does MSTFAB manufacture?

MSTFAB is the international brand of Guangzhou Maisituo Sheet Metal Manufacturing Co., Ltd. It makes drawing-defined sheet metal parts and empty mechanical enclosure shells for OEM buyers, using laser cutting, CNC bending, welding and mechanical assembly. Surface treatments such as powder coating may be coordinated with external partners depending on the order.

Which materials does MSTFAB work with?

Common options include carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Grade, thickness, dimensions, critical tolerances, hardware, finish and inspection criteria are specified per project on the approved drawing.

What are the MOQ and lead time for custom sheet metal parts?

There is no single MOQ or lead time that applies to every part. MOQ, price, achievable tolerances, lead time, finishing route and inspection deliverables are confirmed in the project quotation and purchase order after the drawing is reviewed.

Does MSTFAB supply electrical components or certified finished equipment?

No. The normal supply scope is fabricated metalwork and empty mechanical housings. Electrical components, wiring, software, system integration and final equipment certification remain with the buyer unless a written quotation or contract explicitly includes them.

How do I request a quote?

Send STEP, STP, DXF, DWG or PDF files with the drawing revision, material and thickness, quantity, critical dimensions, hardware, finish, inspection needs and delivery destination through the RFQ page at https://mstfab.com/contact/.

✨ Direct Answer: What Is Precision Stainless Steel Laser Cutting?

Precision stainless steel laser cutting is the high-power fiber laser profiling of austenitic stainless steel alloys (AISI 304, 304L, 316, 316L) utilizing ultra-pure, high-pressure nitrogen gas (N₂ at 18–25 bar) to evacuate molten metal from the kerf. Unlike oxygen cutting which causes severe black oxide scaling and corrosion vulnerability, nitrogen-assist laser cutting produces bright, silver, dross-free edges with zero oxidation, maintaining natural chromium-oxide passivation and holding dimensional tolerances within ±0.05 mm.

Stainless Steel Laser Cutting Parameters by Thickness

Sheet Thickness	Laser Power / Gas Pressure	Kerf Width	Edge Roughness (Ra)	Tolerance (ISO 2768-f)
0.8mm – 2.0mm	6kW–10kW / 18 bar N₂	0.10mm	Ra < 1.6 µm (Mirror clean)	±0.05 mm mm
3.0mm – 6.0mm	12kW–15kW / 22 bar N₂	0.18mm	Ra < 3.2 µm (Zero dross)	±0.08 mm mm
8.0mm – 16.0mm	20kW / 25 bar N₂	0.28mm	Ra < 6.3 µm (Vertical striations)	±0.15 mm mm

Frequently Asked Questions on Stainless Laser Cutting

How do you protect brushed stainless steel surfaces from laser spatter?

We use stainless steel sheets pre-laminated with specialized laser-grade protective film (fiber laser PE film). The laser pierces and cuts through the film cleanly without bubbling or scorching the underlying grain.
