If you’ve ever tackled a DIY project, chances are good that you've encountered sheet metal at some point. It's everywhere, from your roof to your refrigerator, thanks to its winning combination of strength, workability, and slim profile.
Picking the right steel for your project can be difficult. You need to look at strength, aesthetic, costs, and - most importantly - if it’ll last long enough to fulfil its purpose.
From mile-high skyscrapers to the trusty frying pan on your stove, stainless steel is everywhere. It's prized for its durability, hygiene, and sleek aesthetic, but there's one thing that it's not immune to: scratches.
Good hygiene is vital in all industries (as well as in our day-to-day lives!), but nowhere is it more important than in the food and healthcare fields.
Choosing the right metal for the job is rarely simple. You need to compare each type’s strength, weight, and cost to figure out how well they fit your needs... and once you've finally settled on a choice, you still need to navigate through the various variants and grades available!
In this guide, we'll explore how bending affects the strength of sheet metal, why it matters, and what other factors play a role in the process.
