Types of Sheet Metals

Sheet Metal Type	Main Characteristics	Common Applications
Cold Rolled Steel (CRS)	Smooth surface, tight tolerances, good strength, easy to weld and form	Appliances, automotive parts, industrial components
Hot Rolled Steel (HRS)	Lower cost, rougher surface, good for structural use	Construction, frames, general fabrication
Galvanized Steel	Zinc-coated for corrosion resistance, durable, economical	HVAC ducts, outdoor parts, automotive body panels
Stainless Steel (304/316)	Excellent corrosion resistance, clean appearance, high strength	Food processing equipment, medical devices, marine parts
Aluminum Sheet (e.g., 3003, 5052, 6061)	Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, good formability, conductive	Aerospace, automotive, electronics housings, mold parts
Copper Sheet	Highly conductive, corrosion-resistant, antimicrobial properties	Electrical components, roofing, decorative parts
Brass Sheet	Good machinability, corrosion resistance, decorative finish	Musical instruments, hardware, architectural components
Titanium Sheet	High strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatible	Aerospace, medical implants, high-end equipment
Carbon Steel Sheet	High strength, economical, available in many grades	Machinery, structural components, industrial fabrication
Weathering Steel (Corten Steel)	Forms protective rust layer, no painting required	Outdoor structures, facades, sculptures
Alloy Steel Sheet	Enhanced strength/wear resistance depending on alloy	Heavy-duty machinery, automotive suspension components
Tinplate	Thin steel coated with tin, corrosion-resistant	Food cans, packaging containers
Zinc Alloy Sheet	Good castability, corrosion resistance, smooth finish	Hardware, electronic parts, decorative applications
