Short answer: Sheet metal fabrication turns coil and plate into parts by cutting, punching, bending, welding and finishing; the alloy and gauge decide formability, strength and cost, so galvanized or stainless serve enclosures, aluminum and PPGI serve panels, and copper or aluminum serve conductive parts.
At a Glance
Cutting and Punching
Sheets are cut and punched to blank; the stock is in our Galvanized Steel Sheet, Aluminum Supplier en Stainless Steel Supplier, with the dimensional limits in our Tolerances Guide.
Bending and Forming
Bending sets the shape within the material springback; the profiles are in our Extrusion Profiles Guide, the alloy base in our Wat is aluminiumlegering, the data in our Sterkte vergelijking and the base in our Carbon Steel Supplier.
Welding and Joining
Parts are joined by welding, riveting or folding; the welding angle is in our Welding Joining Guide en Stainless Welding Guide, the conductor side in our Copper Supplier en Busbar Copper vs Aluminium guide.
Finishing and Protection
Finishing is powder coat, anodize or pre-painted; the options are in our Surface Treatment Guide, coated stock in our PPGI PPGL Coated Steel, anodizing in our Anodized Aluminum Guide and packing in our Export Packing Guide.
