	I guess it is....not sure how good it would be this thin.... https://www.indiamart.com/proddetail/ms-hot-rolled-sheets-20172767297.html https://www.jfe-steel.co.jp/en/products/sheets/catalog/b1e-001.pdf http://www.hgbindustrial.com/cold-rolled-steel-strip-coil/factory-direct-0.8mm-thickness-slit-edge-carbon-cold-rolled-steel-strips.html https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/difference-between-hot-rolled-steel-and-cold-rolled-steel/ __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	Depends on the end use whether it is "good for anything". It might be good as feed the annealing and rolling for tin sheet. __________________ "Consensus Science got us into this mess, then why can't it get us out?" : Rephrase of Will Rogers Comment

That would fall between the standard steel sheet metal gauges of 21 and 22

21ga =.836 mm

22ga =.759mm

Perhaps a standard gauge would suit your purposes.

	Hello, For us people that are no longer "imperial", 0.8mm is a very common thickness in steels and non-ferrous material for electrical connections and such. I believe that his challenge will be "how wide" does he want the sheet metal to be? In the past, our supplier was limited to around 1.8m wide for continuous roll for the tolerances on that thickness. Our local supplier has sheet (1.2m x 2.4m) in 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2mm on the shelf, though these are "bog standard" steel with no surface protection. If he was to source from the U.S.A., then he might need to consider whether one of those "standard" sizes would fit his component tolerances. __________________ Just an Engineer from the land down under.

	Anything is <...possible...>; how likely it is that one would find an economical source of it in the sizes and quantities needed is the true unknown. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

Chart below shows thickness above and below 0.8mm. I'd be surprised if you can't get 0.8mm if you want exactly that. Whether it's made by hot rolling I don't know offhand.

Sheet Metal Gauge Chart

Gauge Chart
Gauge Number	Imperial Equivalent in MM
10	3.25
12	2.64
14	2.03
16	1.63
18	1.22
20	0.91
22	0.71
24	0.56
26	0.46
