Sheet Metal Auto Components - Aluminum, Brass, Or Cold Rolled Steel Sheets Under 6mm Thickness | Precision Formed, Versatile Shapes For Effective Metal Working

Sheet Metal Auto Components Sheet Metal is simply metal formed into thin and flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metal working and can be cut and bend into a variety of different shapes. Significantly, extremely thin pieces of sheet metal would be considered to be foil or leaf and pieces thicker than 1/4" or one centimeter can be considered as plate. Sheet metal is generally produced in sheets less than 6 mm by reducing thickness of a long work piece by compressive forces applied through a set of rolls. This is a process called Rolling which Started around 1500 AD. Sheet metals are available as flat pieces or as strip in coils. It is characterized by its thickness which is denoted in terms of gauge of metal. The gauge of sheet metal ranges from 30 gauges to 8 gauges, the higher the gauge, the thinner the metal is. There are many different metals that can be made into sheet metal like Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Cold Rolled Steel, Mild Steel, Tin, Nickel and Titanium etc. Sheet Metal has processing as StretchingDrawingDeep DrawingCutting Bending & FlangingPunching & SheeringSpinningRollingForming
