What is Sheet Metal ? Plate sheets, which find use in many sectors and especially in the steel door sector, are obtained from metals such as iron. Their surfaces are smooth and smooth. Sheet metal materials can be of various thicknesses and sizes, depending on where they will be used. They are among the rolled products and are preferred for covering large areas. Let's consider the production of sheet metal, which stands out with its advantages among iron and steel products, for those who are curious. How is Sheet Metal Produced? There are two ways to produce sheet metal. Hot Rolling Cold rolling In construction steels, cold rolling only takes up to 3 mm. Plates and plates are then hot rolled for cost efficiency purposes. Although the hot rolling process starts from 3 mm in stainless steels, cold rolling covers all the sheets up to 6 mm. However, if we still need to summarize, we start with thick metal sheets first. These plates are passed between two rollers for the hot rolling process. After hot rolling, the plates take on a flat appearance. Next, the cold rolling process is carried out. Cold rolling makes the surface smooth. For engineering purposes, it is important to distinguish the two. For precision applications, cold rolled steels are preferred as we have more control over the final dimensions. This is because in hot rolled steels, after cooling, the steel shrinks slightly and its shape can change slightly. For this reason, as Kurtoğlu Steel Door, we strive to do our job in the most meticulous way with our expert engineers.
