About Metal Sheet

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.

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.
