What Is Sheet Metal?

Sheet metal is a processing technology, according to a definition in a professional journal, it can be defined as: sheet metal is a comprehensive cold working process for metal sheets (usually below 6mm), including shearing, punching/cutting/compounding, folding, riveting, splicing, Molding etc. Its notable feature is the uniform thickness of the same part.

Sheet metal has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, electrical conductivity (can be used for electromagnetic shielding), low cost, good performance, and mass production. It has been widely used in electronic appliances, communications, automotive industry, medical equipment and other fields, such as in computer cases, mobile phones, and medical equipment, sheet metal is an indispensable part. As the application of sheet metal becomes more and more extensive, the design of sheet metal parts has become a very important part of the product development process. Mechanical engineers must be proficient in the design skills of sheet metal parts, so that the designed sheet metal meets the product requirements. The function and appearance requirements can make the stamping die manufacturing simple and low cost. Designed sheet metal parts, through filament power winding, laser cutting, heavy processing, metal bonding, metal drawing, plasma cutting, precision welding, roll forming, sheet metal bending forming, die forging, water jet cutting, precision welding And other craftsmanship.
