What is Sheet metal fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of turning flat metal sheets into metal structures or products, by cutting, punching, folding and assembling. Different metals, such as brass, steel, copper, tin, titanium, and aluminum, are formed and configured using sheet metal fabrication.

Surface finishing for sheet metal parts

  • Painting can be used to finish metal sheet parts.
  • Powder coating involves applying a dry powder paint to the parts, which is then baked onto the part. This method is often used for parts that need to be used in a harsh environment.
  • Anodizing creates a durable, corrosion-resistant finish on aluminum parts. This is a chemical and electrical process which causes a thin oxide layer to form on the surface of the parts.
  • Electroplating involves applying a thin layer of metal to the surface of the parts.
  • Polishing uses abrasive materials to create a smooth, shiny surface finish on the parts.
  • Brushing use abrasive belts to draw traces on the surface of a part.

  • Hot-dip galvanized steel: This is a sheet metal material that has a zinc coating on the surface to improve its corrosion resistance. It can be divided into different grades and thicknesses, such as SPGC. It has a gray luster and a rough texture. It is suitable for applications that require high resistance to salt spray and moisture, such as construction, roofing, and piping.
  • Hot rolling steel: This is a sheet metal material that has high strength and hardness. It can be divided into different grades and thicknesses, such as SPHC. It has a black luster and a smooth texture. It is suitable for applications that require high mechanical properties and dimensional stability, such as automotive parts, machinery parts, and structural components.
  • Copper: This is a sheet metal material that has high electrical conductivity and ductility. It can be divided into different grades and thicknesses, such as C1100P. It has a reddish-brown luster and a soft texture. It can also accept different finishes and colors, such as electrolysis and plating. It is suitable for applications that require electrical transmission or decorative purposes, such as connectors, wires, jewelry, and art.

The difference between metal fabrication and sheet metal manufacturing is the materials used. Metal fabrication often starts from processing basic raw materials, these raw materials are often large and thick including; steel, aluminum and copper but sheet metal manufacturing work on a flat metal sheet which is a thin material.
