Sheet metal is a comprehensive cold working process for metal sheets, including cutting, punching, cutting, laminating, folding, welding, riveting, splicing, forming, etc. Its prominent feature is that the thickness of the same component is consistent.
Various metals and metal alloys can be made into sheet metal and used to manufacture sheet metal parts. The selection of materials depends on the requirements of the parts, and the factors for selecting materials include formability, weldability, corrosion resistance, strength, weight, and cost.
