No. The larger the number, the thinner the steel. 16 gauge is the thicker of the two.

16 gauge steel is 0.0598in. (1.52mm) and 16 gauge galvanised steel is 0.0635 (1.61). The easy way to remember is 16 gauge is 1.6mm
17/64ths of an inch for steel
Both 31 and 32 gauge are close:31 gauge = 0.0105"32 gauge = 0.0097"
10 gauge: 3.57 mm11 gauge: 3.18 mm
Depends on what kind of steel: 18 Gauge Standard Steel is .0478 Inches. 18 Gauge Galvanized Steel is: 0.0516 inches thick. FYI 18 Gauge Aluminum is 0.0403 18 gage steel is 0.0478 inches thick 18 gage steel is 0.0478 inches thick
18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. 18 gauge is 1.27 mm thick while 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
Depends on what you are using if for.
16 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge.
18 gauge steel is not bulletproof for rifle rounds but is for some very weak pistol calibers
18 gauge stainless steel is 0.0500 inches thick.
The difference between 18 gauge and 22 gauge stainless steel is the thickness. The 18 gauge is 0.050" thick, and the 22 gauge is 0.031" thick. A link is provided below to an article with a list of the conversions. You'll note that the cited thickness for the gauges of stainless do not apply to galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc, brass or other metals.

22 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge if you live in an upside down and backwards universe. But since we don't, 18 gauge is quite a bit heavier than 22 gauge.
