What is the Difference Between Metal Sheet,
Plate, and Foil?

• When it comes to sheet, plate, and foil, the
  thickness of each is the only difference. All
  three are made for various uses, including
  cooking, craftwork, and as part of buildings.
• The three metal sheets, plates, and foil have the
  same composition. Typically, each of these
  products is made from a specific type of steel
  alloy or stainless steel, which means that they
  are recyclable and reusable. Each product is
  available in various sizes, ranging from one
  square foot to hundreds of square feet. The only
  difference between sheet, plate, and foil is the
  thickness.

• The thickness of sheet metal affects several
  factors, including the gauge number, the
  load-bearing capacity, and the cost. Thicker
  sheets are used for heavier loads than thinner
  sheets however, they can be more expensive.

• Thicker sheets also take longer to cut than
  thinner sheets because more material is to be
  removed. As a result, thicker sheets are more
  expensive to ship than thinner sheets.
• The metal plate is classified with the thickest
  options. Metal plate reflects sheet metal 6mm or
  thicker
• Metal sheet with a medium thickness. Metal sheet
  reflects any metal from 0.5mm up to 6mm
• Metal foil with the thinnest options. Metal foil
  is categorised by sheet metal with a thickness of
  less than 0.2mm

• Uses and application
• Steel plate is ideal for a broad range of
  applications such a structural support or heavy
  machinery manufacturing.
• Steel sheet is well suited for railings, gates,
  and automotive components.
• Stainless steel foil is used for various
  industries, including foodservice, packaging,
  construction, and chemical processing. It is
  often used as a wrap or for enclosures or covers.
• Steel metal foil is commonly used for shielding
  or fabrication applications.

• Metal foil is the thinnest of all but can
  also be very flexible. If you're looking for
