It has everything the user needs to know clearly marked right on the shim: material type, material thickness, and lot # for full traceability. It is used in applications where hardness, flatness and accuracy are required. Material can be punched or sheared with minimum burring and distortion. It is especially useful for pilot production runs where material accuracy and economy are important.
