What is Sheet Metal Processing?

Sheet metal processing is called sheet metal fabrication. For example, making chimneys, barrels, oil tanks, ventilation pipes, elbows, places around the sky, funnel shapes, etc. with sheet metal, the main processes are shearing, bending and buckling edges, bending forming, welding, riveting and so on, which require certain geometric knowledge. Sheet metal parts are sheet metal parts, which can be processed by stamping, bending, stretching and other means. A general definition is that parts with constant thickness in the process of processing. Corresponding to them are casting, forging and pressing parts, machined parts and so on.
 
Sheet Metal Fabrication Products Related Terminology
 
Every industry has its professional term, sheet metal processing industry is no exception. The following 25 are common.
 
(1) Pressure riveting: refers to the process of firmly pressing riveting nuts, riveting bolts or riveting nut columns on the workpiece with a punch or hydraulic press.
 
Riveting: refers to the process of first sinking the workpiece, then pressing the riveting nut firmly on the workpiece with a punch or hydraulic press.
 
(2) pulling mother: refers to the use of the similar riveting process. The technological process of firmly connecting the connecting parts such as rivet nuts (POP) to the workpiece with a pulling pistol.
 
(3) Riveting: refers to the process in which two or more workpieces are closely connected using a riveting gun and a pulling nail.
 
(4) Riveting: The process of riveting two or more workpieces face to face together. If riveting the countersunk head, the workpiece should be sunk first.
 
(5) Cutting angle: refers to the process of cutting the workpiece angle by using a die on a punch or hydraulic press.
 
(6) Bending: refers to the process in which the workpiece is formed by a bending machine.
 
(7) Forming: refers to the process of deforming a workpiece by using a die on a common punch or other equipment.
 
(8) Shearing: refers to the process of obtaining a rectangular workpiece by shearing machine.
