What is a good flexible sheet metal?

I need a flexible sheet metal that doesn't rip or tear such as aluminum. Any help would be appreciated.What is a good flexible sheet metal?
You could use sheet steel, galvanized steel, and copper, but these are pretty thick stuff.





As for thinner stuff, there's steel tape (steel with an adhesive backing) and aluminum tape. Or just use aluminum foil with duct tape backing or contact paper backing.





All this stuff can be had from either a home improvement store (roofing or ventilation) or an auto parts store.





Good luck!What is a good flexible sheet metal?
What is your application? There are a quite a lot of choices from Hot-Rolled, Cold-Rolled, and Galvanized steels and several Aluminum alloys in a wide variety of thicknesses depending on the material.
