Sheet metal processing is not only a critical technology for sheet metal technicians to understand, but it is also an important process in the creation of sheet metal products. Sheet metal processing includes traditional cutting and blanking, blanking, bending forming, and other methods and process parameters, as well as various cold stamping die structures and process parameters, various equipment working principles and operation methods, as well as new stamping technology and new processes. Sheet metal processing is the name given to the process of fabricating parts of sheet metal. Sheet metal parts are simply sheet metal parts, which are parts that can be processed by stamping, bending, stretching, and other methods. Parts with constant thickness throughout the manufacturing process are defined in general terms.
Sheet metal parts should be connected and fastened in a specific manner when sheet metal fabrication is performed. The most common methods of joining sheet metal are welding, thread connection, riveting, and bonding.
1. Welding is a process method that involves local or overall heating of weldments, plastic deformation of weldments, or both heating and plastic deformation at the same time in order to achieve permanent connection. Manual arc welding, gas shielded arc welding, laser welding, segment welding, and contact welding are the various types of welding. Our primary welders use gas shielded welding and contact welding.
1.1 Gas shielded arc welding - During gas shielded arc welding, the electrode arc area and welding pool are protected by shielding gas, and argon is used to protect Meiyu oxides and inclusions on the weld surface. It can be welded in any spatial position, and the forming process of welding can be observed and adjusted with the naked eye, resulting in high production efficiency.
1.2 contact welding - contact welding is a welding method that involves instantaneously heating the connecting part and pressurizing the welded part to form a welded joint in either the molten or non-molten state. It can be divided into three types: butt welding, spot welding, and seam welding.
2. Threaded connection - threaded connection has the advantages of being simple to install locally, convenient to disassemble, and simple to operate. It is commonly used for detachable steel structure connections. It can be divided into two categories: screw connection and bolt connection.
Using rivets to join together parts or assemblies of metal structure is known as riveting. There are many different kinds of rivets. Our most commonly used blind rivets are closed round head blind rivets, closed countersunk head blind rivets, open round head blind rivets, and open countersunk head blind rivets.
4. Bonding is a type of connection method in which the required connection is bonded together with adhesive.
5. Plug - Plug has the advantages of being simple to install, convenient to disassemble, and simple to operate. In comparison to other connection methods, the connection between sheet metal parts can be completed by utilizing the properties of sheet metal parts without causing damage to the material properties of sheet metal parts.
Sheet metal processing procedures and skills that are safe to use are essential.
Sheet metal processing is not only an important skill for sheet metal processing personnel, but it is also an important process in the production of sheet metal finished products. Sheet metal processing includes traditional cutting and blanking, as well as blanking, bending, and forming, among other methods and technical parameters.
1. If the cable in the electrical equipment for sheet metal processing is damaged, it must be repaired and re-used immediately; otherwise, it is potentially dangerous.
In the event that there is powder or residue, the operator must wear protective glasses and a mask during the operation.
3. When operating a grinding wheel or an angle grinder, there must be no flammables or explosives in the immediate vicinity to prevent sparks from splashing and causing a fire.
4. During the operation, operators must exercise caution and concentration in their work. They are not permitted to engage in any activities that are not related to the operation.
5. It is necessary to prevent damage to power cables, high-pressure gas pipes, and other similar equipment during the material handling process.
6. After the operation is completed, turn off the equipment's power supply and finish the finishing operation.
