Sheet is a popular metal product that is typically defined as any aluminium or stainless steel that is less than a quarter of an inch thick. Anything less than one thousandth of an inch is considered foil, while anything larger than.25″ is considered plate product.
Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip is formed by rolling a pre-heated metal slab or billet through rollers until the desired thickness is achieved. The procedure is known as hot rolling.
Following the hot rolling process, stainless and carbon steel products are frequently pickled. This is accomplished by immersing the metal in an acid bath. Because traditional carbon steel is prone to rusting after pickling, a thin layer of oil is applied to protect the surface.
