sheet steel

Al pensar en acero delgado se piensa en su forma más extrema que es el acero en láminas o planchas, esto es, el <steel sheet>. Por supuesto, también se puede expresar esto con palabras directas, es decir: ...partially isolated, thin steel pieces may lose their mechanical ...

sheet or strip (steel)


Explanation:
This is what it sounds like it could be, anyway. Here are some definitions:

Fleje o cinta
(Strip)
Acero delgado y plano que se asemeja a una plancha laminada
en caliente pero que normalmente es más angosto (hasta 30
centímetros de ancho). Es producido a espesores controlados
más estrictamente. Los flejes también pueden obtenerse de
una lámina de acero utilizando una máquina cortadora.

Plancha de Acero
(Sheet Steel)
Acero delgado y plano. El acero laminado enrollado responde
por más de un tercio de todo el acero despachado cada año.
Es generado en un laminador de planos en caliente al laminar
un planchón plano de acero manteniendo durante el proceso
las dimensiones laterales. El acero maleable puede aumentar
su longitud en varios cientos de metros a medida que es
prensado por el laminador.

Tin mill seems to be the correct trans. Look at these (same text in SP and EN:

El acero delgado es el producto clave de la firma Weirton Steel, en el estado de Virginia Occidental, enfrentada a la dura competencia del acero sudcoreano. http://www.ipsenespanol.net/crisis/0703_6.shtml

Tin mill is the key product of Weirton Steel in West Virginia and competes primarily with Korean producers. http://www.twnside.org.sg/title/twe275b.htm
