2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

   In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the U.S., 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 7 gauge.

3. Tread plate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tread_plate

   Steel types are normally made by hot rolling, although modern manufacturers also make a raised and pressed diamond design. [citation needed] The added texture does not effectively reduce the risk of slipping, making diamond plate a poor solution for stairs, catwalks, walkways, and ramps in industrial settings. Its lack of non-skid properties ...

4. Metal profiles - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_profiles

   Metal profiles sheets have a high recycled scrap steel content and all steel is recyclable. Many steel components can be unbolted and even reused for future applications. The possibility of reusing building elements makes steel construction even more sustainable than the already significant contribution of today's simple material recycling.

5. Expanded metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_metal

   Expanded metal is a type of sheet metal which has been cut and stretched to form a regular pattern (often diamond-shaped) of mesh-like material. It is commonly used for fences and grates, and as metallic lath to support plaster or stucco .

6. Spot welding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_welding

   Typically the sheets are in the 0.5 to 3 mm (0.020 to 0.118 in) thickness range. Forcing a large current through the spot will melt the metal and form the weld. The attractive feature of spot welding is that a large amount of energy can be delivered to the spot in a very short time (approximately 10–100 milliseconds). [ 2 ]

7. Stainless steel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stainless_steel

   Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an iron-based alloy containing a minimum level of chromium that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the 10.5%, or more, chromium content which forms a passive film that can protect the material ...
