STEEL SHEET

Hot Rolled Steel Flat Sheet is a thin, flat piece of hot rolled steel with many applications. It is measured by its thickness (gauge). Hot Rolled Sheet thicknesses range from .060 (16 Gauge) to 0.188 (7 Gauge). Thicknesses beyond this point are considered to be plate. Often used in general fabrication where finish is not critical.

Hot Rolled Commercial Quality Sheets (ASTM A1011) are produced from low carbon rimmed, capped or semi-killed steel, and are intended for uses involving simple bending or moderate drawing and welding. They can be bent flat on themselves in any direction at room temperature without cracking on the outside of the bent portion
