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. |

Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength.
Ferrous Metals and Iron Alloys
Ferrous metals and alloys are based on iron and include carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, cast iron, cast steel, maraging steel, and specialty or proprietary iron-based alloys.
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.
Metal Wire and Strand
Metal wire and strand has a round, flat, or shaped cross section. Products are usually less than 0.375" in diameter.
Nickel and Nickel Alloys
Nickel and nickel alloys are non-ferrous metals with high strength and toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior elevated temperature properties.
Superalloys
Superalloys are nickel, cobalt or iron-based alloys with excellent elevated temperature strength, creep properties and oxidation resistance.
