Sheet metal processing steps

The three most important steps are sheet metal cutting and stamping.

Sheet metal is sometimes used to pull metal. The word comes from sheet metal. It is generally through manual or molding to make some sheet metal parts plastic deformation to form the required shape and size, and further through welding or a small amount of mechanical processing to form more complex parts, such as chimney, iron furnace, automobile shell, etc. sheet metal parts are commonly used in families. Sheet metal processing is called sheet metal processing. For example, the production of chimney, bucket, oil tank, vent pipe, elbow, elbow big and small end, circular part, funnel shape, etc., the main processes are cutting, bending, forming, welding, riveting, etc., which requires a certain amount of geometric knowledge.

Sheet metal parts can be processed by stamping, bending and stretching. The general definition is that the thickness of a part remains unchanged during machining. The corresponding parts are casting parts, forging parts, machining parts, etc. For example, the iron shell outside the car is a sheet metal part, and some stainless steel cabinets are also sheet metal parts.
