Shims Products List
Aashish Metal & Alloys is a leading trader of Precut Shims, which are metal spacer components primarily alloyed with carbon. These shims find wide use across industries, especially in plants and refineries where fluids and gases are transported under high pressure and temperature. We offer pipes of various sizes that meet all required specifications for tasks like flanging, bending, and welding. With high tensile strength and excellent performance, these shims are trusted in heavy engineering and even some automotive applications.
What should be considered when choosing Shims?
The correct choice of metal shim is critical to the required accuracy of fitting, acceptable performance, and durability of the industrial assembly. One of the functional and environmental factors, which influence the accuracy, safety, and durability of the equipment directly, is the choice of shim material and design.
- Material Properties: Various materials provide various mechanical advantages. Stainless steel shims are also good in terms of corrosion and heat resistance, and therefore, they can be used in chemical, thermal, and structural applications. Brass and copper shims have better electrical conductivity and are commonly used in electrical, marine or sealing applications. Selecting the right shim makes the shim work in an even manner under pressure or load.
- Operating Conditions: Consider the location and manner of operation of the shim. As an exemplar, oxidation-resistant metals are needed in high temperature environments whereas corrosion-resistant alloys are needed in humid or salt-contaminated environments. It is to ensure that the material does not deform when under operation.
- Usage Requirements: Decide on whether the shim is going to be used in a static load or dynamic load. Friction behavior, wear resistance and surface finish are also important in moving assemblies. The choice of a shim to fit a load type, tolerance of its alignment, and vibration level is a guarantee of high reliability in the long term and minimal maintenance.
Quality and Assurance – Delivering Precision Shims with Unmatched Reliability
Aashish Metals assured that whatever type of shims we are marking goes under the strict quality checks and advanced testing to ensure the accuracy, durability, and match with the international standards. Our in-house inspection maintains the dimensional accuracy and mechanical integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shims
Metal shims are very thin excavated sheet metal utilized in positioning and alignment of components and masking of machinery, pumps, dies and construction assembly. Our stainless steel, brass and copper shims are used in Aashish Metals so that we can reach the exact tolerances, vibration and stable installations that can be made in the industrial uses.
The most suitable shim material is dependent on the working environment. Stainless steel shims are also good in high temperature and corrosive environments. Brass shims are resistant to saltwater and should be used in the marine or electrical industry, whereas copper shims are superior conduction thermal and electrical and should be used in HVAC or transformers.
Aashish Metals produces shims with a tight tolerance of up to +-0.005mm, thickness of 0.02 mm to 5.0 mm and in thickness combinations, sizes, and shapes based on project or equipment needs.
The choice of the correct shim depends on the load condition, temperature, exposure of corrosions and tolerance. As an illustration, stainless steel would be the best choice in a heavy workload or outdoor application and brass would be the best choice in low-friction assemblies. We assist you in deciding the most appropriate shim in your operating environment with the help of our technical experts.
Yes. Aashish Metals provides pre-cut and custom-cut shims of any clientele. We have various types of sheet, strip, laminated and shim stock with different kinds of surface finish to satisfy the exact alignment and assembling requirements.
Absolutely. Our shims are all packed in export grade wooden crates or moisture-proof bundles with correct labeling and Mill Test Certificates (MTC). We export repeatedly to the Middle East, Europe and Asia, making the international deliveries safe and timely.
Shims are manufactured in accordance with ASTM A240, ASME SA240 and ISO 9001:2015 quality standards. The batches are subjected to mechanical and chemical tests to ensure the consistency in performance and dimension accuracy.
