  2. Drawing (manufacturing) - Wikipedia

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

    Successful drawing depends on the flow and stretch of the material. Steels, copper alloys, and aluminium alloys are commonly drawn metals. [4]In sheet metal drawing, as a die forms a shape from a flat sheet of metal (the "blank"), the material is forced to move and conform to the die.

  3. Wire drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_drawing

    Very fine wires are usually drawn in bundles. In a bundle, the wires are separated by a metal with similar properties, but with lower chemical resistance so that it can be removed after drawing. [citation needed] If the reduction in area is greater than 50%, the process may require an intermediate step of annealing before it can be redrawn.

  4. Metal roof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_roof

    A metal roof is a roofing system featuring metal pieces or tiles exhibiting corrosion resistance, impermeability to water, and long life. It is a component of the building envelope . The metal pieces may be a covering on a structural, non-waterproof roof, or they could be self-supporting sheets.

  5. Corrugated galvanised iron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrugated_galvanised_iron

    Corrugated galvanised iron (CGI) or steel, colloquially corrugated iron (near universal), wriggly tin (taken from UK military slang), pailing (in Caribbean English), corrugated sheet metal (in North America), zinc (in Cyprus and Nigeria) or custom orb / corro sheet (Australia), is a building material composed of sheets of hot-dip galvanised ...

  6. Deep drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_drawing

    Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process in which a sheet metal blank is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch. [1] It is thus a shape transformation process with material retention. The process is considered "deep" drawing when the depth of the drawn part exceeds its diameter.

  7. Copper in architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_in_architecture

    A step is used at each nailer to allow adjacent pans to lock effectively. The height and spacing of the steps enable different appearances. A common design for a chevron roof is based on a batten seam construction to which auxiliary battens are attached. With proper design, decorative battens can have almost any shape or size and run in any ...

  8. Stamping (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

    Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press , blanking, embossing ...

  9. Steel frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_frame

    Interior partition walls made with cold-formed steel. Cold-formed steel frames are also known as lightweight steel framing (LSF). Thin sheets of galvanized steel can be cold formed into steel studs for use as a structural or non-structural building material for both external and partition walls in both residential, commercial and industrial construction projects (pictured).
