Understanding Sheet Metal Fabrication and It's Applications

Sheet metal has become a facet of modern day life for many people and whether they aware of this or not, the affordable building material is used in most everything from sensitive electronics equipment to the construction of entire buildings. 

Typically when people think of sheet metal they think of aluminum or steel since that is the form it commonly takes where it can be seen; but what many people don't realize is that the process of creating the metal sheets has been applied to many different metals and have been given different names since they typically have different functions then construction.

 For the most obvious example, tin foil is actually a type of sheet metal of an exceptionally high gauge so that it can be easily bent and ripped for various purposes. Another common form of sheet metal is known as 'leaf', where gold, platinum, or silver is rendered down to sheet metal and used as a form of decorative covering for otherwise plain jewelry or statuary.

 Aside from decoration, the leaf and traditional sheet styles are also used in the fabrication of wiring and catalysts, as a way to stretch otherwise limited resources for the maximum amount of functionality that can be gained.
