Basic Knowledge of Sheet Metal Processing - Types of Sheet Metal Materials (1)

We will introduce basic knowledge of sheet metal processing.

Metal materials can be broadly divided into two categories. 1. Ferrous metals... iron, stainless steel, galvanized steel sheets, etc. 2. Non-ferrous metals... copper, copper alloy sheets, aluminum, aluminum alloy sheets, etc. Here, we will first introduce "ferrous materials," which are the most common. 1. Ferrous materials (1) Cold-rolled steel sheets (SPCC) Among the materials used for precision sheet metal, cold-rolled steel sheets (SPCC) are the most widely used and have good marketability. At Tsubota Technica, we mainly process steel sheets with a thickness of 0.5 to 3.2 mm. The size of the sheets is expressed as width × length × thickness, and the main dimensions are as follows. [Sizes... Common names] 3ft × 6ft ... Saburoku 4ft × 8ft ... Shihachi 5ft × 10ft ... Gotou By the way, the material symbols are defined by JIS standards, and the principles are as follows.
