Different sheet metal varieties offer various characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks. Early selection of the right metal type will aid the engineer’s ability to design the part while keeping in mind the characteristics of that particular type of sheet metal fabrication.
A more effective sheet metal fabrication product will be produced if these features are considered from the beginning of the development process. Different kinds of steel, such as cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, and stainless steel, as well as aluminum and copper, are often used as sheet metals.
