Surface Treatment of Sheet Metal Fabrication
-
Anodizing
Anodizing is the formation of an oxide film on the surface of the material, which can improve the abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance and electrical insulation of the material, and it can also achieve a high density and smooth effect on the surface of the product, and has a sense of beauty, but it is prone to abrading and scratching in the process of using.
-
Bead Blasting
Bead blasting can make the surface of the material 100% dull, completely eliminate reflection, mainly used in steel, titanium and aluminum surface treatment methods.
-
Powder Coating
The powder coating is adsorbed on the surface of the material under the effect of static electricity. It has the characteristics of a variety of colors, can be highlighted or matte, low cost, high utilization rate, environmental protection and strong ability to cover defects.
-
Electroplating
Electroplating refers to the plating of a layer of metal coating on the surface of the material, which can improve the corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and aesthetics of the material, increase the surface hardness, and achieve the purpose of conduction.
-
Polishing
Polishing can make the surface smoothness higher, brighter gloss, improve the corrosion resistance and beauty of the material. It has a wide range of applications and also can improve the added value of products and market competitiveness.
-
Brushing
Brushing can make the surface of the material show a variety of colors and effects, it can improve the beauty and decoration, the attractiveness of the product and market demand, and has the characteristics of environmental protection, low carbon, efficiency .
-
Silkscreen
Silkscreen is a printing technology that is printed on the surface of materials through patterns or text, which can achieve the purpose of identification or beauty, and has the characteristics of high-precision printing and diverse colors.
-
Passivation
Passivation is the formation of a stable, density and adhesion film on the surface of the material, which can improve the hardness and abrasion resistance of the surface of the material, but also improve the corrosion resistance and durability of the product and safety, which is widely used in aerospace, automotive, electronics industries.
Tolerances of Sheet Metal Fabrication
Sheet metal fabrication is an important factor to determine the processing accuracy, according to the appropriate precision-machined products . The manufacturing process of temperature, pressure, speed and other parameters will directly affect the precision of sheet metal fabrication.
| Laser cutting, Plasma cutting | +/- 0.1mm |
|---|---|
| Bending, Single bend | +/- 0.1mm |
| Double bend | +/- 0.2mm |
| More than two bends | +/- 0.3mm |
| Welding | +/- 0.2mm |
Advantages Of Sheet Metal Fabrication
-
High prescion
Sheet metal fabrication uses numerical control processing method, it can be accurate to 0.1mm, greatly reduce the error and production costs so order to maximize the benefits.
-
Low costs
Sheet metal fabrication equipment is low in price and simple in operation, which can reduce certain labor costs and bring good economic benefits to manufacturers.
-
High productivity
Automated production can save labor and time costs, it also can achieve mass production.
-
Low pollution
Sheet metal fabrication does not use chemicals, paint and other harmful substances, so it will not cause environmental pollution.
Conclusions
Sheet metal fabrication is a high-precision, high-strength, high-quality processing method, which has a wide range of applications and will have broader development prospects in the future. The above is the content of the sheet metal fabrication method we have, which can be used for your reference, and you are always welcome to consult.
