What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?

Sheet metal fabrication is a manufacturing process that transforms flat sheets of metal into a variety of shapes and products through cutting, bending, and assembling techniques. This versatile process can produce everything from simple components to complex assemblies, making it integral to industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction. The fabrication process typically involves precision cutting (using tools like lasers or water jets), bending (with presses and dies), and assembling (via welding, riveting, or adhesive bonding) to achieve the desired specifications and functionalities of the final product.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Material Options

We offer a wide selection of materials, if you have other specific material needs, please contact us!

Carbon Steel Grades:

1018: Good balance of toughness and ductility, commonly used for cold-forming.
1020: Similar to 1018 but with higher carbon content, better for machining.
1045: Higher carbon content, offers good strength and hardness, used in applications requiring a stronger material.

Stainless Steel Grades:

304: Excellent corrosion resistance, commonly used in food processing and chemical industries.
316: Higher corrosion resistance than 304, suitable for marine environments and chemical processing.
430: Good corrosion resistance and formability, often used in automotive trim and appliances.

Aluminum Grades:

1100: Commercially pure aluminum, excellent corrosion resistance and workability.
3003: Alloyed with manganese, offers better strength than 1100, commonly used in cooking utensils and chemical equipment.
5052: Higher strength and corrosion resistance, often used in marine applications and fuel tanks.
6061: High-strength, heat-treatable alloy, used in structural applications and aircraft parts.

Copper Grades:

C11000 (Electrolytic Tough Pitch, ETP): High electrical conductivity, used in electrical wiring.
C10100 (Oxygen-Free): High purity and conductivity, used in high-end electrical applications.

Brass Grades:

C26000 (Cartridge Brass): Good strength and corrosion resistance, commonly used in ammunition and automotive applications.

Sheet Metal Parts Surface Treatment Options

For sheet metal parts, various surface finish options are available to enhance appearance, improve corrosion resistance, and meet specific functional requirements.

Powder Coating

Provides a durable, high-quality finish available in various colors and textures. It’s excellent for both aesthetic and protective purposes.

Anodizing

Primarily used for aluminum parts, anodizing increases corrosion resistance and surface hardness. It can also add color to the part.

Plating

Includes options like zinc plating, nickel plating, and chrome plating, which improve corrosion resistance and provide a decorative finish.

Electropolishing

A process used to smooth and polish metal surfaces, reducing micro-roughness and improving corrosion resistance.

Brushing

Creates a uniform, linear grain surface texture, often used for aesthetic purposes.

Passivation

Improves the corrosion resistance of stainless steel parts by removing surface contaminants and enhancing the formation of a protective oxide layer.

Sandblasting/Bead Blasting

Provides a uniform matte or satin finish by blasting the surface with abrasive materials.

Painting

Includes spray painting and other types of coatings to protect and decorate the surface.

Chemical Conversion Coating

Includes chromating and phosphating, which provide a base for paint adhesion and improve corrosion resistance.
