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. Shear (sheet metal) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_(sheet_metal)

   Large versions can cut sheet metal up to 12 gauge. [5] An alternative to the hand tools are hydraulically powered tools attached to heavy machinery. They are usually used to cut materials that are too bulky to be transported to a cutting facility, too big or dangerous for the hand tools and are stored at remote locations (e.g. mines, forests). [6]

4. Types of press tools - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_press_tools

   When a component is produced with one single punch and die where the entire outer profile is cut in a single stroke the tool is called a blanking tool. Blanking is the operation of cutting flat shapes from sheet metal. The outer area of metal remaining after a blanking operation is generally discarded as waste. Size of blank or product is the ...

5. Snips - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snips

   In tinner's snips this means the handles are extra long. The compound-action bulldog-pattern, also known as a notch snips, has the ability to cut up to 16 gauge cold rolled sheet metal or multiple layers of sheet metal up to 0.062 in (1.6 mm) thick. Some snips have replaceable blades for when the blade becomes worn out.

6. Bending (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

   When sheet metal is bent, it stretches in length. The bend deduction is the amount the sheet metal will stretch when bent as measured from the outside edges of the bend. The bend radius refers to the inside radius. The formed bend radius is dependent upon the dies used, the material properties, and the material thickness.

7. Ultrasonic thickness measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultrasonic_Thickness...

   The ability to gauge thickness measurement without requiring access to both sides of the test piece, offers this technology a multitude of possible applications. Paint thickness gauges, ultrasonic coating thickness gauges, digital thickness gauges and many more options are available to test plastics, glass, ceramics, metal and other materials.

8. Corrugated galvanised iron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_galvanised_iron

   The most common materials for corrugated iron are ferrous alloys (e.g. stainless steels), aluminium and copper. Regular ferrous alloys are the most common due to price and availability. Common sizes of corrugated material can range from a very thin 30 gauge (0.012 inches, 0.3 mm) to a relatively thick 6 gauge (0.1943 inches, 5 mm). Thicker or ...

9. Gauge - Wikipedia

   Jewelry wire gauge, the size of wire used in jewelry making; 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
