Sheet metal fabrication: Forming or Deformation
Bending: Sheet metal bending is one of the most popular deformation processes. A machine known as a Press brake is used to bend sheet metals into V, U, or other complex shapes. With an increase in gauge thicknesses of sheet metals the force required to bend increases.
Stamping: In the stamping process, a hydraulic or mechanical stamping press equipped with a tool and die is used to perform specific tasks like curling, drawing, embossing, flanging, etc
Hemming: Hemming is a process by which the edges of sheet metal are folded over itself or another piece of sheet metal to create a rounded edge. In the sheet metal fabrication process, two types of hemming processes are widely involved. They are roll hemming and conventional die hemming. Conventional hemming is used for mass production. A hemming roller is used for roll hemming.
Spinning: Spinning is a metal fabrication process where a lathe machine is used to rotate the sheet metal against a tool to produce conical or cylindrical shapes.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Sheet Metal Fabrication
As sheet metal fabrication covers a wide area of techniques and methods, the advantages and limitations will vary depending on the process used during fabrication.
Benefits:
i. Sheet metal fabrication is fast and can produce high-quality components.
i. A large number of processes are available with wide range of materials
ii. High strength to weight ratio for sheet metal fabricated parts.
Disadvantage:
i. Each fabrication process has their own limitations.
ii. High initial cost for set up of equipment and tools.
iii. Requirement of skilled labors for each process.
