grove seam
Explanation:
Now I'm in the right field at least...

I find some good animation at (http://www.teokonsult.se/plat/platt11c.htm) for my version of the term. And at (http://www.teocalc.se/byggplat/platteknik/Forzinkadplat/htms... your term described. To my unexpert eyes the description matches the animation.

Then at (http://rbshakya.net.np/sheetmetal.htm) there are some diagrams in mid-page. Again, my untrained eye tells me my suggestion fits best with the Swe. I suppose you've never done metalworking either! ;-)

I googled sheet metal joint types (no quotes) and got some nice images... See if that helps.
