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. Gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge

   Sheet metal gauge, thickness of metal in sheet form; Film gauge, a physical property of film stock which defines its size; The size of objects used in stretching (body piercing), especially earrings; Gauge block, a metal or ceramic block of precisely known dimension, used in measuring

4. Forming limit diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forming_limit_diagram

   A forming limit diagram, also known as a forming limit curve, is used in sheet metal forming for predicting forming behavior of sheet metal. [1] [2] The diagram attempts to provide a graphical description of material failure tests, such as a punched dome test. In order to determine whether a given region has failed, a mechanical test is performed.

5. Sheet metal forming analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal_forming_analysis

   For sheet metal forming analysis within the metal forming process, a successful technique requires a non-contact optical 3D deformation measuring system. The system analyzes, calculates and documents deformations of sheet metal parts, for example. It provides the 3D coordinates of the component's surface as well as the distribution of major and ...

6. Bending (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_(metalworking)

   In bottoming, the sheet is forced against the V opening in the bottom tool. U-shaped openings cannot be used. Space is left between the sheet and the bottom of the V opening. The optimum width of the V opening is 6 T (T stands for material thickness) for sheets about 3 mm thick, up to about 12 T for 12 mm thick sheets.

7. Ironing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironing_(metalworking)

   Ironing is a sheet metal forming process that uniformly thins the workpiece in a specific area. This is not to be mistaken with fabric Ironing . This process involves using force to evenly flatten a piece of sheet metal into a uniform shape. [ 1 ]

8. Embossing (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embossing_(manufacturing)

   The metal embossing manufacturing process has these characteristics: The ability to form ductile metals. Use in medium to high production runs. The ability to maintain the same metal thickness before and after embossing. The ability to produce unlimited patterns, depending on the roll dies. The ability to reproduce the product with no variation.

9. Rolling (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_(metalworking)

   For thin sheet metal with a thickness less than 200 μm (0.0079 in), [citation needed] the rolling is done in a cluster mill because the small thickness requires a small diameter rolls. [10] To reduce the need for small rolls pack rolling is used, which rolls multiple sheets together to increase the effective starting thickness.
