Metal sheet is metal or alloy stock supplied or available in the form of sheet or foil. Metal sheet has a thickness between 0.006" and 0.250", and is 24” (609.6 mm) or more in width. Typically, metal sheet is formed to precise thickness and/or width requirements. Hardness and surface finish properties may be controlled by the rolling process, usually through cross rolling. Dimensional specifications to consider when specifying metal sheet include overall thickness, gauge thickness, overall width or outer diameter (OD), and overall length. Some metal sheet is cast, wrought, extruded, compacted, cold finished, drawn, hot rolled, or treated in an electric arc furnace. Other products are characterized as amorphous, textured, austenitic, coated, coiled, cold-worked, ferritic, galvanized, or wear resistant. Ferrous metal sheet is based on iron. Carbon steel sheet contains ferrous alloys based on iron, carbon and small levels of other alloying elements such as manganese or aluminum. Alloy steel sheet contains ferrous alloys based on iron, carbon and high to low levels of alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and nickel. Stainless steel sheet is highly corrosion resistant and made of ferrous alloys that contain chromium and/or nickel additions. There are three basic types of stainless steels: austenitic stainless steels, ferritic and martensitic stainless steels, and specialty stainless steels and iron superalloys. Metal sheet made from tool steel contain wear resistant, ferrous alloys based on iron and carbon. They have high levels of alloying (hardenability and property modifying) elements such as chromium, molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium.

Non-ferrous metal sheet is not based on iron, and includes various alloys. Aluminum sheet is lightweight, easy to fabricate, and a good thermal and electrical conductor. Cobalt metal sheet offers high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, and high-temperature strength. Cobalt sheet can also be magnetized. Copper sheet is suitable for many industrial and commercial purposes, but is especially useful in electrical and electronic applications. Magnesium sheet provides good ductility, moderate strength, and good corrosion resistance. Nickel sheet can be used to fabricate super-alloy components and corrosion-resistant valves, piping, and pumps. Metal sheet made of noble, precious, rare earth, refractory and reactive metal is also available. Metal sheet conforms to standards from organizations such as the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the Copper Development Association (CDA). Products are classified according to the International Alloy Designation System (IADS), Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS), and/or the Unified Numbering System. Metal sheet that adheres to U.S. military specifications (MIL-SPEC) and European Norm (EN) specifications is also available.

Products & Services Related to Metal Sheet
Carbon Steels and Alloy Steels
Carbon steels and alloy steels are ferrous alloys that contain carbon and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel.
Copper, Brass and Bronze Alloys
Copper, brass and bronze alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity as well as good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength.
Metal Balls
Metal balls and spherical shapes are used as check or ball valves, bearings, or other applications. Metal bearing balls are precision ground for ball bearings or other motion systems.
Metal Foils and Foil Stock
Metal foils and foil stock are very thin, metal-mill products with a thickness that is usually less than 0.006 in.
Refractory and Reactive Metals
Reactive and refractory metals include tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, chromium, hafnium, zirconium, and titanium. Reactive metals oxide rapidly and form a stable oxide. Refractory metals and alloys have melting points above ~ 1750° C (~ 3200 F°).
Stainless Steel Alloys
Stainless steel alloys are austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, precipitation hardened (PH), and duplex metal materials that are available in a wide variety of grades, shapes, and sizes.
Zinc and Zinc Alloys
Zinc and zinc alloys are non-ferrous alloys that are used widely in the production of die cast components.
