Sheet metal fabrications are very popular because you can give it any shape you want to and also because it can be used for a variety of purposes. There are a couple of methods or techniques that are used in Sheet Metal Fabrications. These include flat rolling and deep drawing. Let us understand how these techniques work. But before that it is important to understand how sheet metal is shaped.
Another important aspect of the metal fabrications process is the deep drawing method. It is a very common sheet Metal Fabrications process that involves squeezing the metal until the thickness is reduced considerably. This is done with the help of a punch that is operated hydraulically. With every punch you can compress a certain size of the metal. This means that you can produce large quantities of metal that is needed for sheet metal fabrications.
Understanding the Sheet Metal shaping process
There is different ways you can shape a sheet metal. The most common processes that are used for Sheet Metal Fabrications include press braking and spinning. Press braking is a process that is used for bending sheet metal at pre defined angles. This is done through a process where the sheet metal is passed through a press which then compresses the sheet metal into a V shaped groove so that it can bend at a particular angle.
Knowing about the Flat Rolling Process
In this process the sheet metal is passed through a roller which helps in reducing the thickness of the metal. This means you can use large sheet metal pieces and quickly produce a wide range of sheet metal with different thickness. It is the required thickness that determines how many times you can pass the sheet metal through the rollers in order to flatten it. Since these rollers require a great force to flatten the metal, the rollers are operated mechanically so that you can produce large quantities of sheet metal of even sizes.
