Very thin sheets of metal

Very thin sheets of metal

Very thin sheets of metal

(OP)
Hi,

I'm working on a project where very thin metal plates are needed to obtain the optimal results. The sheets of metal must be as thin as possible.

Does somebody know a company that can deliver extremely thin sheets of metals (stainless steel, aluminium, phosphor bronze, brass). The sheets must be as thin as possible. 30um (micro meter) to 90um. (um = 1e-6m)

Until know I haven't found a company that can deliver those products, because the thickness is too small.

I sincerely hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.

Kindest regards,
Vidi
