Sheet Metal

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of shaping and manipulating sheet metal to form a desired shape or form. This process involves cutting, bending and shaping the metal to form the desired shape. Sheet metal processing is commonly used to produce parts for automobiles, aircraft and other industrial equipment. The process allows for the creation of complex shapes and forms that are difficult to achieve with other manufacturing processes.

We have extensive experience in the production of sheet metal, won the praise of all customers, with a mature production supply chain, from production to surface treatment to delivery, one-stop service package for your satisfaction.

Sheet Metal

What is Sheet metal processing

Sheet metal fabrication is a widely used metalworking technique that causes a thin metal sheet to plastic deform through an external step force that exceeds the yield strength of the material, bending and stretching into a variety of complex shapes without reducing the material itself. Metal sheets (usually steel or aluminum) are cut, folded and assembled into functional parts.

Sheet metal processing materials

We have cited some commonly used processing materials, but it does not mean that we can only do these materials, as long as there are on the market, and you have the demand, we have the ability to process.

Material	Character	Type
Aluminum	Light and strong, Durability Ductility	Al5052, Al5083, Al6061, Al6063, etc
Steel	Robustness, Versatility , Recyclability	SPCC, SPHC, SECC, SGCC, etc
Stainless Steel	Durability, Stain resistance	301, 303, 304, 316, 420, 430
Copper	Electrical conductivity, Thermal efficiency, Natural corrosion resistance	C11000, C12000, C12200, C10100, etc
Brass	Thermal conductivity, Beauty	C26000, C27000, C27200, C28000, etc

Sheet metal processing surface finishing

NAME	DESCRIPTION	MATERIALS	COLOR	TEXTURE	LINK
As-machined	The standard finish for our parts, the “as machined” finish, has a surface roughness of 3.2 μm (126 μin), which removes sharp edges and deburs parts cleanly.	All materials	n/a	Stain	Learn More>>
Sand Blasting	Sand blasting is the process of powerfully propelling, generally with high pressure, a stream of blast media against a surface to remove unwanted coating layers and surface impurities.	Aluminum, Steel, Stainless Steel, Brass, Copper	n/a	Matte	Learn More>>
Anodizing	Keeping our parts in the long term, our anodizing process resists corrosion and wear. It’s also an ideal surface treatment for painting and priming, and it looks great too.	Aluminum	Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold	Smooth, matte finish	Learn More>>
Electroplating	Electroplated coating preserves the surface of parts and resists rusts and other defects from causing decay by applying electric currents to reduce metal cations.	Aluminum, steel, stainless steel	Gold, silver, nickel, copper, brass	Smooth, glossy finish	Learn More>>
Polishing	Ranging from Ra 0.8~Ra0.1, polishing processes use an abrasive material to rub the part’s surface to make the shine more less shiny, depending on your requirements.	All materials	n/a	Smooth, glossy finish	Learn More>>
Powder Coating	Using corona discharge, we make the powder coating adsorbed to the part, creating a more wear-resistant layer with a typical thickness ranging from 50 μm up to 150 μm.	All metal materials	Custom	Glossy	Learn More>>
Wire drawing	Brushing is a surface treatment process in which abrasive belts are used to draw traces on the surface of a material, usually for aesthetic purposes.	ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel	n/a	Satin	Learn More>>
Painting	Painting involves spraying a layer of paint onto the surface of the part. Colors can be matched to a Pantone color number of the customer’s choosing, while finishes range from matte to gloss to metallic.	Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel	Custom	Gloss, semi-gloss, flat, metallic, textured	Learn More>>
Passivation	Stainless Steel	None	Unchanged	5μm – 25μm	Learn More>>
Silkscreen Printing	Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel	Varies	N/A	< 1 µm	Learn More>>
Black Oxide	Black oxide is a conversion coating similar to Alodine that is used for steel and stainless steel. It is used mainly for appearance and for mild corrosion resistance.	Steel, Stainless Steel	Black	Smooth, matte	Learn More>>
Alodine	Chromate conversion coating, more commonly known by its brand name Alodine, is a chemical coating that passivates and protects aluminum from corrosion. It is also used as a base layer before priming and painting parts.	Aluminum	Clear, Gold	Same as before	Learn More>>
Part Marking	Part marking is a cost-effective way to add logos or custom lettering to your designs and is often used for custom part tagging during full-scale production.	All materials	Custom	n/a	Learn More>>
Knurling	Knurling is a unique finishing process designed to indent a component to make it easier to grip.	All materials	Same as before	Matte	Learn More>>
Heat Treatment	Heat treatment enhances mechanical properties, relieves stresses, and refines the microstructure of metals, enabling them to meet specific performance requirements for a wide range of applications.	Steel, Stainless Steel	Dark grey	Same as before	Learn More>>
Pickling	Pickling describes an acid bath designed to remove oxide scaling from a component’s surface.	Steel, Stainless Steel	Dark grey	Same as before	Learn More>>
