It is a form of metal that is formed into thin, flat pieces, usually by an industrial process, that is used for manufacturing. As one of the fundamental forms of metal working, sheet metal is one of the most versatile forms that can be cut and shaped in a variety of ways.
As with any metal, thickness can vary significantly. For example, extremely thin sheets may be considered foil or leaf, whereas pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plates, such as structural steel plate, which belongs to the plate steel class. It is possible to purchase sheet metal as flat pieces or as coiled strips. Roll slitters are used for making coils of metal by running continuous sheets of metal through them and cutting them into coils.
It is common for sheet metal thickness to be measured in millimeters in most parts of the world. An industry standard way of describing the thickness of sheet metal is by using a traditional, non-linear measurement known as its gauge. There is a direct correlation between the gauge number and the thickness of the metal. The most commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge in terms of thickness. There is a difference between the gauge of ferrous (iron-based) metals and the gauge of nonferrous (copper or aluminum-based) metals. A square foot of copper, for example, is measured in ounces, which translates to one ounce of copper contained in a square foot of copper. The thickness of sheet metal parts must be uniform in order to achieve optimal results during the manufacturing process.
In terms of sheet metal, there are many different kinds of metals that can be fabricated into it, including aluminium, brass, copper, steel, tin, nickel, and titanium. Silver, gold, and platinum are some of the most commonly used sheet metals for decorative purposes (platinum sheet metal is also used as a catalyst). Sheet metal is used in a wide variety of applications including automobile and truck (lorry) bodies, major appliances, airplane fuselages and wings, tinplate for tin cans, roofing for buildings (architecture), and many other things. There is a wide range of applications for sheet metal made of iron and other materials with high magnetic permeability, also known as laminated steel cores. Transformers and electric machines depend on sheet metal. It was historically critical for sheet metal to be used for plate armor that was worn by the cavalry. It can be used for a variety of decorative purposes, including horse tack. When installing a tin roof, sheet metal workers are also called "tin bashers" (or "tin knockers"), a term derived from the hammering of seams in panels when installing the roof.
