sheet-metal
Thin industrial plate
Sheet-metal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces, typically used in construction, manufacturing, and metalworking.
It's worked by cutting, bending, and shaping: sheet-metal ductwork, a sheet-metal roof.
A sheet-metal worker fabricates or installs such materials.
The term functions as both noun and adjective.
