    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    Aluminium is widely used in sheet metal form due to its flexibility, wide range of options, cost effectiveness, and other properties. [6] The four most common aluminium grades available as sheet metal are 1100-H14, 3003-H14, 5052-H32, and 6061-T6. [5] [7] Grade 1100-H14 is commercially pure aluminium, highly chemical and weather resistant.

    Where x is the material type (only 1 is specified so far), yy is the steel group number (specified in EN10027-2) and zz(zz) is a sequential number designated by the certifying body, the number in brackets being unused but reserved for later use. The steel groups are indicated below:

  6. Surface plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_plate

    A 250 mm x 250 mm surface plate. A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out (layout), and tooling setup. [1] The surface plate is often used as the baseline for all measurements to a workpiece, therefore one primary surface is finished extremely flat with tolerances ...

  8. Plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plating

    Plating is a finishing process in which a metal is deposited on a surface. Plating has been done for hundreds of years; it is also critical for modern technology. Plating is used to decorate objects, for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, to improve IR reflectivity, for ...

  9. Steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel

    Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron. Because of its high tensile strength and low cost, steel is one of the most commonly manufactured materials in the world. Steel is used in buildings, as concrete reinforcing rods, in bridges, infrastructure, tools, ships, trains ...
