Commonly used sheet metal materials can be divided into two categories.
Sheet metal raw material grade.
Types of sheet metal.
Thicknesses can vary significantly.
Extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf and pieces thicker than 6 mm 0 25 in are considered.
Various sheet metal material grades are available in the market.

On the other hand in the case of sae j403 grade 1008 the spec allows for up to 0 10 percent carbon with no minimum.
For example 1010 steel is a carbon steel with a nominal 0 10 percent carbon level.
Its remarkable feature is the same thickness of the same part.
Astm s steel standards are instrumental in classifying evaluating and specifying the material chemical mechanical and metallurgical properties of the different types of steels which are primarily used in the production of mechanical components industrial parts and construction elements as well as other accessories related to them.
Recommended for both outside and inside usage galvanized steel has a high resistance to corrosion in different environments due to a protective layer of zinc of 100 180 grams per.
The sae j403 grade 1010 specification states that the steel may be supplied with carbon content from 0 08 to 0 13 percent.
