About Metal Strip

Metal strip is narrow, thin stock that is usually 3/16 in. (4.76 mm) or less in thickness and under 24 in. (609.6 mm) in width. Metal strips are formed to precise thicknesses and/or width requirements. Hardness or surface finish properties are controlled by the rolling process, which is usually unidirectional. The cost of metal strip depends upon production and compositional requirements. For example, a stockstrip that requires additional rolling may be less expensive than strip stock that must be mixed and cast before rolling. Costs also vary based on the price of materials.
