Steel sheet metal can be defined as metal thicker than foil but thinner than plate thickness. The gauge or thickness determines the designation of when metal foil becomes metal sheet and when metal sheet becomes metal plate. Thus, minimum sheet metal thickness is between 0.5mm maximum thickness is 6mm to be considered sheet metal.
- Metal Foil Thickness: up to 0.2mm
- Metal Plate Thickness: 6mm+
Steel plate metal can be defined as a sheet of metal 6mm or thicker. Steel plate is measured in inches whereas sheet metal is measured in gauges. Steel plate can be segmented into low, medium, and high carbon steel plates. Higher carbon content increases the strength and hardness.
