SELECTION

A metal is a material that, when freshly prepared, polished, or fractured, shows a lustrous appearance, and conducts electricity and heat relatively well. Metals are typically malleable or ductile A metal may be a chemical element such as iron, or an alloy such as stainless steel.

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin, flat pieces. Sheet metal 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 fabricated from sheet metal. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate steel or “structural steel."

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.

Satin

Galvannealed steel is a matte uniform grey colour, which can be easily painted. In comparison to galvanized steel, the coating is harder and more brittle.

Galvanized

Galvanizing is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, to prevent rusting.

Sheet – 30g, 28g, 26g, 24g, 22g, 20g, 18g, 16g, 14g, 12g, 11g, 10g,
