Metal sheet profiling can be used in several ways in industry. Each metal, depending on your requirements, will have different properties that must be taken into account to achieve the best outcome.
Most metals are very robust and strong and can be difficult to cut and form into usable products on your own. This is where the use of professionals, such as Vest Profiling, is of great assistance to help you create the perfect design with precision and accuracy. Understanding the material that you are working with, and the methods of profiling will help you make the best choice for your specific application.

Types of Alloys used in Metal Sheet Profiling
As a specialist sheet profiling company in Meyerton, Vest Profiling offers you some valuable advice on the types of alloys that can used, and their characteristics:
Steel is a metal that is commonly used for profiling. Its durability and ductility make for a perfect end product. Used widely in the construction industry, steel is strong with excellent tensile strength.
Stainless steel is another variant of material that can be profiled and has several advantages over traditional steel. Also being strong and durable, stainless steel is further corrosion resistant and will withstand a variety of temperature conditions and environmental exposure, that traditional steel would not. This is too a very useful material for use in construction and manufacturing. The nature of stainless steel also gives it an aesthetically pleasing finish, allowing it to be used in elegant and stylish ways.
Aluminum also has a wide application in industry and is non-magnetic, strong, and durable. It has impressive thermal and electrical conductibility and is corrosion-resistant.
Brass is a metal alloy that is comprised of variations of copper and zinc. The characteristics of brass allow it to have less friction when used in conjunction with other metals, and as a result will reduce the wear on the metal itself, and increase its longevity. It is able to retain its shape and strength when exposed to low temperatures and has excellent thermal conductivity.
The use and profiling of copper have traditionally been valuable to industry, particularly for its impressive thermal and electrical conductivity. Its soft nature also makes it flexible and highly malleable.
