Sheet metal is used in automobile and truck (lorry) bodies, major appliances, airplane fuselages and wings, tinplate for tin cans, roofing for buildings (architecture), and many other applications.

Sheet metal is one of the most versatile and widely used construction materials, with applications in just about every industry imaginable from mining, construction, farming, catering, hospitality, shipping, manufacturing, aviation, medical and transport.

The thickness of sheet metal starts from 0.5 mm and goes up to 6 mm. Anything above that is a metal plate. The thin sheet metal is easy to form, while still providing great strength.
