WHAT DOES SHEET METAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sheet metal

Sheet metal

Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and it can be cut and bent into a variety of shapes. Countless everyday objects are constructed with sheet metal. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin thicknesses are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm are considered plate. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips. The coils are formed by running a continuous sheet of metal through a roll slitter. The thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 8 gauge. Gauge differs between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper; copper thickness, for example is measured in ounces. There are many different metals that can be made into sheet metal, such as aluminum, brass, copper, steel, tin, nickel and titanium.

Definition of sheet metal in the English dictionary

The definition of sheet metal in the dictionary is metal in the form of a sheet, the thickness being intermediate between that of plate and that of foil.
