Exploring 50+ Sheet Metal Manufacturing Processes

Sheet Metal Manufacturing Process

Shearing: The process of obtaining rectangular parts from materials using plate shears.

Cutting: The process of cutting parts using a laser or NC punch.

Blanking: The process of shaping a product using a die in a punch or other equipment.

Punching: The process of forming a part using a punch and die.

Bending: The process of forming a part using a bending machine.

Forming: The process of deforming a part using a die in a punch or other equipment.

Hole Drawing: Also known as flanging, is the process of turning the edge of a round hole formed by a die in a punch or other equipment.

Threading: The process of machining internal threads into a workpiece.

Reaming: The process of enlarging small holes in workpieces into larger holes using a drill or milling cutter.

Countersunk Hole: The process of machining tapered holes in a workpiece for cooperation with connectors such as countersunk screws.

Press Riveting: The process of securely driving riveted nuts, bolts, or columns of nuts into a workpiece using a punch or hydraulic press.

Expandable Riveting: The process of first sinking the workpiece and then securely driving an expandable riveting nut into the workpiece using a punch or hydraulic press.

Pull Nut: A process similar to riveting that involves securely connecting riveting nuts (POP) and other connectors to a workpiece using a pull gun.

Pull riveting: The process of closely connecting two or more workpieces using pull riveters.

Riveting: The process of connecting two or more parts face to face using rivets. In the case of countersunk riveting, the parts are first countersunk.

Convex hull punching: Refers to the process of forming a convex shape on a workpiece using a die in a hydraulic punch or press.

Punch and Tear (also known as “Bridge Punch”): Refers to the process of forming a bridge in a workpiece using a die in a punch press or hydraulic press.

Stamping: Refers to the process of punching words, symbols, or other marks into a workpiece using a die.

Notching: Refers to the process of cutting a corner of a part using a die on a punch press or hydraulic press.

Drilling Mesh Hole: Refers to the process of drilling holes in a mesh pattern on a workpiece using a die on a common punching machine or CNC punching machine.

Flattening: Refers to the process of transforming a part into a flat shape.

Drilling: Refers to the process of creating a hole in a workpiece using a drill bit on a drill or milling machine.

Chamfering: Refers to the process of machining sharp corners of a workpiece using tools such as dies, files and grinders.

Leveling: Refers to the process of leveling the part before and after machining, using equipment designed specifically for this purpose.

Tooth Returning: Refers to the process of repairing a missing tooth on a workpiece by adding teeth in advance.

Bonding: Refers to the process of protecting the surface of a part by covering it with a film.

Tear: Refers to the process of removing the protective film from the surface of a part.

Shape Correction: Refers to the process of adjusting the shape of a formed part.

Thermal contraction: Refers to the process of compressing the plastic covering a workpiece using heating equipment such as a heat gun or oven.

Labeling: Refers to the process of applying labels to a designated position on a workpiece.

Drawing: Refers to the process of treating the surface of a workpiece using a wire drawing machine and abrasive belt.

Polishing: Refers to the process of smoothing the surface of a part using polishing equipment.

Heat Treatment: Refers to the special treatment process to improve the hardness of a part.

Deburring: Refers to the process of removing rough edges from a workpiece using tools such as grinders and files to make the machined surface smooth and flat.

Argon Arc Welding: Refers to the process of connecting two workpieces and welding them at the edge or joint using an argon arc welding machine. It is divided into two types, intermittent welding and complete welding, which must be clearly indicated on the drawings.

Touch welding (also known as “spot welding”): Refers to the process of welding two parts face to face using a touch welding machine.

Planting welding: Refers to the process of safely welding a planting bolt into a workpiece using a planting welding gun.

Welding and Grinding: Refers to the process of smoothing the welding scar on a workpiece using tools such as a grinder or file.

Pretreatment: Refers to the process of cleaning oil and rust from a workpiece using an electrolyte solution and adding a film coating, such as a phosphating film, before painting or powder spraying.

Dust scraping: Refers to the process of using atomic ash to fill defects on the surface of a workpiece, such as gaps or welding holes.

Dust scraping and polishing: Refers to the process of polishing the surface of a workpiece after scraping dust using a flat grinder or abrasive cloth.

Oil spraying: Refers to the process of uniformly spraying paint onto the surface of a workpiece using a special spray gun.

Powder spraying: Refers to the process of uniformly spraying powder onto the surface of a workpiece using a spray gun.

Screen Printing: Refers to the process of creating words or patterns on the surface of a workpiece using special ink that penetrates through a special grid.

Electroplating: Refers to the process of adding a layer of metal to the surface of a part to protect or improve its appearance.

Oxidation: Refers to the process of forming an oxide film on the surface of a part to protect or improve its appearance.

Sandblasting: Refers to the process of treating the surface of a part using a sandblasting machine.

Assembly: Refers to the process of assembling two or more workpieces.

Packaging: Refers to the process of protecting a piece for transportation.

Others: Offset, drawing (punching die), counterpressure, tooth drawing (tapping after hole drawing), salad (counterbore), through hole.
