Metal Selection, Gauge, Size and Composition
Metallurgy is simply the science of metal and metal alloy. Everything from selection of the correct type of metal, composition, gauge (thickness) and size, to welding, treatments, and working techniques will be better understood with a fundamental knowledge of metallurgy.
The two types of metal that you’ll be working with most frequently in automotive repair and customizing are steel (mild and, to a lesser degree, stainless), and aluminum. The difference between the various types of steel and aluminum involve the extra ingredients, or alloys, which essentially are other types of metal blended together with the base metal to enhance one or more aspects, such as strength, corrosion resistance, ductility or malleability. The weldability of metal can also be changed just by adding a percentage of one or more metals, so the first thing to remember is that a metal’s alloy content is an important factor to consider during the working stages of metal as well as for the structural integrity of its application.
