Rigidized Metal Panels
Abstract
Plasteel Products Corporation approached the Industrial Applications Center at the University of Pittsburgh to search for ideas on "rigidized" metal sheeting. Thinner-gage metal with strength of heavier sheeting can be obtained through cold bending, stamping, dimpling, or embossing - referred to as "rigidizing." Pittsburgh came up with 36 reports relevant to Plasteel's needs. On the basis of this search the company purchased an embossing machine with which it hopes to provide thinner gage metal panels where permitted by building codes.
