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.

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.
