Sheet Metal Fabrication Services
ISO 9001:2008 certified Yiphang utilizes ongoing employee training,
automation, continuous process improvement and innovation to
maximize the quality, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of your
components.
Parts are carefully examined throughout the production process at
multiple quality control checkpoints and all shipments are
thoroughly tested and inspected before they are released to your
facility. As a result, our team has been able to consistently
maintain a nearly 0% external part reject rate that has enabled
many of our customers to eliminate the costly and time eroding
process of inbound part inspection.
We have a full-time AWS certified inspector and each of our welders
is qualified to one or more of the following specifications and/or
codes:
AWS D1.1-Structural Welding Code-Steel
AWS D1.2-Structural Welding Code-Aluminum
AWS D1.3-Structural Welding Code-Sheet Steel
AWS D1.6-Structural Welding Code-Stainless Steel

Material Info & Types
- A36 is a very common mild steel. It is much easier to form than CRS
1018, but more difficult to machine.
- A653 Galvanized is a steel that contains zinc coating for protection against
corrosion.
- Stainless Steel (CRES) is an alloy based on chromium and steel and is categorized by its
resistance to corrosion. The gauge thickness is the same as regular
steel. Stainless is much harder than regular steel and is not easy
to work with in some respects. Our lasers love it and have no
problem cutting it. However, it is difficult to punch, and can be
difficult to weld. Below gives a description of the different
stainless types:
- CRES 304 is the most widely used multipurpose stainless steel which is easy
to weld and form.
- CRES 301 is commonly used for fasteners and springs which offers better
wear resistance and fatigue than 304. This type has good
weldability.
- CRES 316 has great corrosion resistance compared to 304, so it is best used
for chemical processing applications. This type has good
weldability and temperature resistance.
- CRES 303 is a good material to machine, which makes it best used to create
screw machine products. It is also good for corrosion resistance
and temperature.
- CRES 410 is commonly used for fasteners, machine parts, and shafts since it
can be heat treated for extra hardness and extra wear resistance.
- Aluminum are mixtures of aluminum with other metals, often with copper,
zinc, manganese, silicon, or magnesium. There are too many alloys
of aluminum to list. The number after the 4 digit code is the
tensile strength or temper of the alloy that ranges from T0 to T6.
T0 is soft, and T6 is full hard. VIP uses, 5052-H32, 6061-T6,
6061-T4, 2024-T0 for most of our parts. Below gives a description
of the different series of aluminum:
- 5052-H32 is the most common alloy we use. It has excellent corrosion
resistance, easy to form, and easier to weld. It is not heat
treatable and nonmagnetic.
- 6061-T6 is a multipurpose aluminum with good strength, corrosion
resistance, and machinability. It is heat treatable but
nonmagnetic.
- 2024 has great strength compared to mild steel, but weighs a lot less
and has less corrosion resistance than 7075. It is heat treatable
but nonmagnetic.
- 7075 is a very strong and lightweight aluminum with better corrosion
resistance than 2024. It is commonly used for aircraft parts which
is where it gets its common name "aircraft aluminum."
