Sheet metal is metal formed by an industrial process into thin flat pieces. Extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf and pieces thicker than 6 mm are considered plate steel or structural steel. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips.

Perforated metal is a form of sheet metal which has been punched or stamped with a machine to create a pattern of holes. The coils are formed. Thicknesses can vary significantly. When steel is above the recrystallization temperature it can be shaped and formed easily and the steel can be made in much larger sizes.
