Common materials used for sheet metal fabrication
Common materials used in sheet metal fabrication include aluminum, copper, Cold Rolled Steel (CRS)， stainless steel, Low carbon steel, and steel. These materials have varying characteristics such as strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance.
| Aluminium | Good electrical and thermal conductivity/ Excellent corrosion resistance/ Ductility/ Lightweight |
|---|---|
| Copper | High electrical conductivity/ Exceptionally ductile/ Non-magnetic and non-toxic/ Resistant to corrosion |
| Cold Rolled Steel (CRS) | Stronger and more durable than other steel/ Resistant to corrosion and rust/ Easy to work with |
| Low Carbon Steel | Very low thermal conductivity/ Strong and durable/ Lightweight/ Stronger than aluminum |
| Stainless Steel | Corrosion resistance/ Strong and durable/ Easy to clean / requires little maintenance/ Hygienic and non-toxic |
| Steel | Incredibly strong and durable/ Resistant to corrosion and rust/ Reliable/ Non-conductive |
Finishing Options for Sheet Metal Fabrication
Choose from a variety of finishing options for your sheet metal fabrication project, including powder coating, anodizing, and Electroplating.
| Name | Description | Materials | Color | Texture |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anodizing | Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc. | Aluminum | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold. | Smooth, matte finish. |
| Bead Blasting | Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | Matte |
| Powder Coating | Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel | Black, any RAL code or Pantone number | Gloss or semi-gloss |
| Electroplating | Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common. | Aluminum, steel, stainless steel | n/a | Smooth, glossy finish |
