  20. What’s up?

    I found this article very interesting…please read!

    Sheet metal is metal framed into thin and flat pieces. It is one of the core forms typically found in metalworking. Sheet metal can also be cut and bent to form different shapes. There is a significant variation in thicknesses even though extremely thin thicknesses are called foil or leaf. Also pieces thicker than 6 mm are known as plates.

    The thickness of sheet metal is generally specified by a non-linear measure known as gauge. Normally sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 8 gauge. The metal gets thinner as the gauge increases.
    Various metals such as Aluminum, tin, nickel, titanium, brass, copper and steel can be made into sheet metal. Decorative sheet metals are made from metals like platinum, gold and silver.
