There are different types of thicknesses of sheet metal. The thinnest is called "leaf", while the thickest is called "plate".
Did you know that iron is the most abundant metal on Earth? It even makes up most of Earth's core!
Did you know that the average major appliance, like a refrigerator or clothes washer, contains around 100 pounds of steel? Steel is used for strength and durability. That's not all. Most steel components are recyclable.
What is the biggest selling point for most types of stainless steel? If you guessed that stainless steel is moisture resistant and will not oxidize like many other types of steel products, you're right.
Sheet metal is formed using a unique industrial process that turns metal into thin, flat sheets. A fundamental process in metalworking, sheet metal can be cut, bent or made into a variety of different metal forms or shapes.
The metals used in sheet metal range from aluminum, brass or copper to steel, nickel, or titanium. Sheet metal can also be made out of gold, silver or even platinum, which is often used as a chemical reaction causing catalyst.
