What is sheet metal?

Sheet metal, a processing technology, has not been fully defined. According to a definition in foreign professional journals, it can be defined as: sheet metal is a comprehensive cold working process for metal plates (usually below 6mm).

Including cutting, stamping/cutting/compounding, folding, riveting, splicing, forming (such as automobile body) and so on. Its remarkable feature is that the thickness of the same part is consistent. Interpretation of Modern Chinese Dictionary (5th Edition)-Sheet Metal: verb, processing metal plates such as steel plates, aluminum plates and copper plates.

Plate has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, conductivity (can be used for electromagnetic shielding), low cost and good mass production performance, and has been widely used in electronic appliances, communications, automobile industry, medical devices and other fields. For example, sheet metal is an indispensable part in computer cases, mobile phones and MP3 players.

With the more and more extensive application of sheet metal, sheet metal design has become a very important part of product development. Mechanical engineers must master the design skills of sheet metal skillfully, so that the designed sheet metal can not only meet the requirements of product function and appearance, but also make the stamping die simple to manufacture and low in cost.

Generally, the four most important steps in metal plate processing are shearing, stamping/cutting, folding/winding, welding and surface treatment. Metal sheet is sometimes called brushed gold, which comes from English platemetal. Generally, some metal plates are pressed by hand or die to produce plastic deformation and form the desired shape and size.

It can be further welded or processed into more complex parts, such as chimneys, tin furnaces, automobile shells, etc., all of which are sheet metal parts.
