steel sheets

Flat iron slabs

Steel sheets are flat pieces of steel, typically sold in standardized sizes and thicknesses for industrial and construction use.

Sheet steel is measured by gauge—the lower the number, the thicker the metal.

Steel sheets serve as raw material for everything from car bodies to appliances to roofing: The contractor ordered steel sheets for the ductwork.
