Usually, the three most important steps in sheet metal factories are shearing, punching/cutting, and folding.
- Sheet metal is sometimes also called sheet metal. Generally, some metal sheets are plastically deformed by hand or die stamping to form the desired shape and size, and can be further welded or a small amount of mechanical processing to form more complex parts, such as chimneys, iron stoves, and car shells commonly used in homes.
- Metal sheet processing is called sheet metal processing. For example, chimneys, iron barrels, fuel tanks, oil cans, ventilation ducts, elbows, round heads, funnels, etc. are made of sheet metal. The main processes are shearing, bending, buckling, bending, welding, riveting, etc., which require certain geometric knowledge.
- Sheet metal parts are thin plate hardware, that is, parts that can be processed by stamping, bending, stretching, etc. A general definition is a part whose thickness remains unchanged during the processing process. Corresponding to it are castings, forgings, machined parts, etc. For example, the outer iron shell of a car is a sheet metal part, and some cabinets made of stainless steel are also sheet metal parts.
