Sheet metal is a comprehensive cold working process for sheet metal (usually below 6mm), including shearing, punching/cutting/compounding, folding, welding, riveting, splicing, forming (such as car body), etc. . Its notable feature is the uniform thickness of the same part. The products processed by the sheet metal process are called sheet metal parts. The sheet metal parts referred to by different industries are generally different, and they are mostly used for the name of assembly.

​

Overview: Sheet metal parts are products processed by sheet metal technology. We cannot do without sheet metal parts everywhere in our lives. Sheet metal parts are produced by filament power winding, laser cutting, heavy processing, metal bonding, metal drawing, plasma cutting, precision welding, roll forming, sheet metal bending, die forging, and water jet cutting.

A definition in a foreign professional journal can define sheet metal as: sheet metal is a comprehensive cold working process for sheet metal (usually below 6mm), including shearing, punching/cutting/compounding, folding, welding, Riveting, splicing, forming (such as car body), etc. Its notable feature is the uniform thickness of the same part.

Features: Sheet metal parts have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, electrical conductivity (can be used for electromagnetic shielding), low cost, and good mass production performance. They are obtained in the fields of electronics, communications, automotive industry, medical equipment, etc. For a wide range of applications, for example, in computer cases, mobile phones, MP3, sheet metal parts are an indispensable part.

As the application of sheet metal becomes more and more extensive, the design of sheet metal parts has become an 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 It meets the requirements of the product's function and appearance, and can make the stamping die manufacturing simple and low cost.
