Sheet metal

Sheets are flat products made of metal, which are usually produced using the rolling process. They are offered as a bar and can be made of almost any metal. In traditional crafts, sheet metal was hammered from cast products.

To produce sheet metal, metal is processed into so-called "slabs" immediately after liquid production. Sheet metal manufacturing processes are hot and cold rolling.

Sheets are divided into categories according to their thickness:

  • Heavy plate (thickness > 3mm)
  • Thin sheet (thickness < 3mm)
