Begin with a magnet test, inspect cut edges and scratches, and expose small areas of base metal where safe. Separate sheets by weight, stiffness, source and construction. Coatings can hide aluminium, galvanized steel, stainless or composite materials. Sample throughout the load rather than testing only easily accessible sheets.
