What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication technology involves converting sheet metal, typically between 0.006 and 0.25 inches thick (0.015 to 0.635 centimeters), into functional parts. The technology encompasses a variety of processing methods, such as cutting, bending and stamping, which can be used independently or in combination to create products with high precision and durability. These products are particularly suitable for end applications such as chassis, housings and brackets.

We can provide customized sheet metal manufacturing services according to customer needs

Water jet cutting service

Water jet cutting technology has the ability to engrave workpieces at will, and is almost not limited by the properties of the material. Thanks to its low cost, simple operation and high production efficiency, water jet cutting is gradually becoming a mainstream technology in the field of industrial cutting.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting uses a laser beam to precisely cut complex shapes while keeping the heat affected area to a minimum and completing the job quickly. It is suitable for a variety of metal materials, including steel, aluminum and stainless steel. It is often used in electronics, logos, brackets and decoration fields with high precision requirements.

Plasma cutting

Plasma cutting technology uses a plasma torch to cut conductive materials, among which metal sheets are its main application objects. The technology is known for its high efficiency and economy, especially for cutting thicker metal sheets, such as steel plates. Plasma cutting methods have been widely adopted in many fields such as automobile manufacturing, construction and metal product processing.

Welding

Welding technology is a core process in the field of metal processing. Its main function is to achieve a firm connection between metal components. The technology heats the base material and filler material to the melting temperature to form a stable welding joint.

Bending

Bending is the process of deforming sheet metal into a specific shape by applying force. This is usually done using equipment such as a press brake. This technique can create a variety of angles and complex geometries in sheet metal parts and is widely used in many industries.

Riveting

Riveting is an extremely reliable fastening technology that allows metal parts to be firmly connected without welding. The process involves inserting and plastically deforming rivets to assemble structures that are not suitable for welding due to their complexity.

Stamping

Stamping is an efficient metalworking technology that forms sheet metal into a specific shape by pressing it into a die. This technology is particularly suitable for mass production of consistent parts, especially in the automotive industry, and it can handle a variety of complex geometries.

Punching

Punching technology is an economical and efficient method of punching holes and creating complex patterns in sheet metal. This process is particularly suitable for large-scale production, ensuring that the hole position and pattern of each product are highly consistent and accurate.

Sheet metal processing materials

Stainless steel

Stainless steel has become a popular material in sheet metal fabrication due to its corrosion resistance, high strength, aesthetics, hygiene, heat resistance, ease of processing and cost-effectiveness.

Copper

Copper is widely used in sheet metal fabrication and in the electronics industry where electrical conductivity is critical due to its high plasticity, ease of processing and good crack resistance.

Aluminum

Aluminum has become a material of choice in sheet metal fabrication due to its lightness, high strength, corrosion resistance, excellent ductility, excellent recyclability and cost-effectiveness.

Nickel alloys

Nickel-based alloys, including Inconel and Monel, are widely praised for their excellent corrosion resistance, heat resistance and high strength. These qualities make them extremely popular for specific applications.

Mild steel

Mild steel is a very common material choice in sheet metal. It not only has excellent strength and durability, but is also easy to process and shape.

Customization service

It can be easily customized according to the specific needs of customers, and a variety of material and surface treatment options are available.

Available sheet metal finishes

Standard

The minimum post-treatment required is applied to the part.

Gold plating

Good resistance to corrosion and tarnishing, and excellent solderability. Application specifications are MIL-G-45204 and ASTM B488, CLASS 00 to 1 (thickness 0.00002 to 0.00005 inches).

Silver plating

This material has excellent solderability and electrical conductivity, however, it is susceptible to tarnishing. Specifications meet AMS QQ-S-365D, and the thickness range is approximately 0.00002 inches to 0.0003 inches.

Sandblasting

Sandblasting is the process of cleaning and preparing a surface by spraying sand or other media at high pressure to create a uniform matte finish.

Electroless Nickel

Provides a uniform nickel coating to protect irregular surfaces from corrosion, oxidation, and wear. Finished parts have a brighter finish with coating thicknesses starting at 0.0001 inch per MIL-C-26074.

Chemical Film (Chromate Conversion Coating)

Provides corrosion resistance and excellent electrical conductivity. Chemical films can be used as a primer for paint and have a yellow or gold finish. Film thicknesses range from 0.00001 inch to 0.00004 inch per MIL-DTL-5541 Type I/II.

Anodizing (Type II or Type III)

Type II anodizing (MIL-A-8625/MIL-PRF-8625) creates a corrosion-resistant surface with common colors of clear, black, red, and gold for aluminum parts. Type III anodizing (MIL-A-8625, Type III, 1/2 "hard coat") is thicker and resists corrosion and abrasion.

Powder coating

The powder coating spray process creates a thick, abrasion-resistant coating that is available in a wide variety of colors and textures for a variety of different surface materials.

Sheet Metal FAQ

Do I need laser cutting, water jet cutting or plasma cutting?

The type of cutting machine used depends on the chosen material and the gauge of the sheet, as well as factors like desired lead time and tolerances.We know which projects need which equipment, so you don’t need to specify a particular cutting machine.

Does it cost more to use multiple sheet metal forming processes?

In general, a part that is cut, bent and punched will cost more than a part that is, for example, just cut using a laser cutter. However, most sheet metal parts demand a combination of forming processes, and this will not increase the price by a drastic amount.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. You can order a one-off prototype or 1,000+ units.

How can I pay ZUERST?

ZUERST accepts payments in two ways: 1.Bank to bank wire transfer 2.PayPal
