The manufacturing materials of the shrapnel sheet generally should have high elastic limit, fatigue limit, impact toughness, and good heat treatment performance, commonly used materials include carbon shrapnel steel, alloy shrapnel steel, stainless steel shrapnel, as well as copper alloy, nickel alloy, and rubber.

The manufacturing methods for the shrapnel sheets include cold rolling and hot rolling. For shrapnel wires with a diameter less than 8 mm, the cold rolling method is generally used, while for those greater than 8 mm, the hot rolling method is employed. Some shrapnel sheets also undergo stress treatment or shot peening after being made, which can enhance the load-bearing capacity of the shrapnel sheets.
