18 gauge stainless steel is 0.0500 inches thick.
.0598 inches for steel, .0635 inches for galvanized steel, .0508 inches for aluminum
0.0478"
Probably not, but it depends on the circumstances. Generally speaking, one can say that twenty-gauge steel sheets (meaning that 20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch) have a thickness of 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobiles.18 ga steel sheets, on the other hand, have a thickness of 1 mm. 18 ga steel is 33% heavier, 60% stronger and has a 60% longer life than 20ga steel.
18-8 (approx. 18% chromium and 8% nickel) is used interchangeably to characterize fasteners made of 302,302HQ,303,304,305,384,xm7 materials.
316 Stainless Steel is an Austenitic Stainless Steel made up of mainly Iron (Fe), with additives of Chromium (Cr)16-18%, Nickel (Ni)10-14%, Molybdenum (Mo) 2.0%, Carbon (C) [0.08% max], Silicon (Si) 0.75%, Phosphorous (P) 0.045%, Sulphur (S) 0.03%, Nitrogen (N) 0.1%. It is suited for highly corrosive environments such as coastal and wet/marine applications.
Smaller number is thicker metal.
a grade 8 bolt is stronger, about twice as strong.
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.
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.
No. The larger the number, the thinner the steel. 16 gauge is the thicker of the two.

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.
18 to 20 gauge high strength steel on modern cars and 16 gauge on older cars.
There's a conversion table at this website which will tell you. http://www.mesteel.com/info/carbon/thickness.htm
GAUGE , is one inch thick of steel or metal. So, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 12 equal thickness sheets , you get a 12 gauge steel sheet. Similarly, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 14 equal thickness sheets , you get a 14 gauge steel sheet. and so on . So, a 12 gauge steel sheet is thicker than 14 gauge , 14 is thicker than 16 , 16 is thicker than 18 and so on. Wrong!!! See my discussion on this...
I believe it's typically rounded to .049" thick wall. Vendor sites like centralsteel.com are a good resource.
