Introduction to Sheet Metal
Sheet metal is metal that is formed into thin, flat pieces. Sheet metal is generally produced in sheets less than 6 mm. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and can be cut and bent into a variety of different shapes. Thicknesses can vary significantly. Extremely thin pieces of sheet metal are designated as “foil” or “leaf”. Pieces thicker than a quarter of an inch are designated as “plate”. Countless everyday objects are constructed from sheet metal. Aluminum, brass, copper, cold rolled steel, mild steel, tin, nickel and titanium are just a few examples of metal that can be made into sheet metal. Sheet metal has applications in car bodies, airplane wings, medical tables, roofing materials and multiple other uses.
Stainless Steel
Stand and spring-like stainless steel are the two categories used in sheet metal fabrication.
Standard stainless can be non-magnetic; any of the 300 series steels are the most commonly used type of stainless. It does not require hot work or other stress relief during manufacturing. Grade 316 is the most corrosion-resistant of the stainless steel grades and maintains its strength at high temperatures. Grade 304 is the most widely used and, while it is somewhat less corrosion-resistant, offers good formability and weldability.
Standard type magnetic stainless for sheet metal fabrication is the 400 series. Grade 410 offers less corrosion resistance but is heat treatable. Grade 430 is an inexpensive alternative to the other stainless steel options and is used in applications where corrosion resistance is not a major requirement such as brush-finished appliance surfaces. Because these materials tend toward elastic rather than plastic deformation, they must be over bent to achieve the final form.
Spring-like steels will work-harden quickly and must be heated to relieve stresses when being formed. Grades include 301, 17-4, 1095, and 1075. Spring-like stainless typically requires specialized equipment and processes and must be over bent to achieve the final form.
Cold rolled steel (CRS)
The process of cold rolling steel is used to smooth the finish of hot rolled steel as well as to hold a tighter tolerance when forming. CRS is available in 1008 and 1018 alloys.
Alloy Steel
Alloy steel, as the name implies, mixes various components to provide a customisable set of characteristics. Carbon steel serves as this material's primary element. Other components are included, such as:Tungsten,Chromium, Manganese,Vanadium,Nickel.
Carbon Steel
This sheet metal substance has iron alloyed with carbon to give it a high level of durability. A manufacturer can select steel with low, medium, or high carbon content levels based on the specific requirement.
Low levels of carbon produce a highly adaptable material that is most frequently used in commonplace items like fences and gates. Steel with a medium carbon content is commonly used in appliances and automobiles. Higher carbon content produces a more fragile product, perfect for delicate things like cables.
Pre-plated Steel/Galvanised Steel
Electro-galvanised sheets and hot-dipped metallic-coated sheets are the two types of galvanised steel commonly found in construction. Steel that has been cold rolled and annealed makes up electro-galvanised sheets. Without any zinc spangle, it is coated entirely in zinc.
On the other hand, hot-dipped metallic-coated sheets are made up of cold-rolled strong steel plates with an iron-zinc alloy and pure zinc coating applied to them. Compared to electro-galvanised sheets, this galvanised steel is slightly cheaper and has better corrosion resistance.
Aluminum
A moderately-priced material, aluminum has a range of characteristics across several grades to meet application requirements. Grade 1100 offers relatively low strength but is chemical and weather-resistant, and weldable and ductile, allowing deep drawing. Grade 3003 is stronger and formable, weldable, corrosion-resistant, and affordable. Grade 5052 is significantly stronger while still formable, weldable, and corrosion-resistant. Grade 6061 is a structural alloy that is corrosion-resistant and strong, but not formable. It is weldable, though it sacrifices some strength when welded.
Copper/Brass
Designers and engineers who want a “red” metal typically choose electrolytically tough pitch (ETP) copper, either C110 or C101. In less frequent cases, cartridge brass is used as an alternative.
Features of Different Sheet Metals
Stainless Steel Sheet
Low Maintenance
Stainless steel has long-term benefits that surpass the initial cost. However, you can concentrate on an ideal process and outcomes when you choose a material like stainless steel that requires minimal maintenance.
Sustainability
Stainless steel can be recycled. Using stainless steel is an excellent approach to lessen the environmental impact of your production processes and merchandise.
Temperature Resistance
Stainless steel is a good choice for applications where temperatures may be more intense, such as boilers, valves, feed water heaters, and other heat exchangers.
Alloy Steel Sheet
Increased Strength
One of the primary advantages of alloy steel is that it is stronger than carbon steel. Carbon steel is a type of steel that contains carbon as the primary alloying element. Alloy steel has additional elements, such as manganese, silicon, or nickel, to increase the strength of the material. This makes alloy steel an ideal choice for applications where power is essential, such as construction or manufacturing.
Increased Durability
Alloy steel is also more durable than carbon steel. The additional elements present in the alloy helps to protect the material from damage, such as wear or corrosion. This makes alloy steel a good choice for applications where durability is essential, such as automotive or aerospace engineering.
Increased Resistance to Heat
Another advantage of alloy steel is that it has increased resistance to heat. The additional elements present in the alloy helps to slow down the rate at which the material heats up when exposed to high temperatures. This makes alloy steel a good choice for applications where heat resistance is essential, such as in power plants or chemical plants.
Increased Resistance to Corrosion
Alloy steel also has increased corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel. The additional elements present in the alloy helps to protect the material from damage caused by exposure to water or other chemicals. This makes alloy steel a good choice for applications where corrosion resistance is essential, such as in marine engineering or food processing.
Lower cost than stainless steel
Although alloy steel is more expensive than carbon steel, it is still less costly than stainless steel. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and nickel and is more expensive than carbon and alloy steels due to the addition of chromium and nickel. However, stainless steel has a different level of strength and durability than alloy steel.
Carbon Steel Sheet
Malleable
Carbon steel has the advantage of being able to be bent, cut, and twisted to form the necessary shape more easily than other metals.
Affordable
Carbon steel is the perfect material for minimising project costs. However, since mild steel is generally less expensive than other metals, you must consider the possibility that you will need to treat it to minimise corrosion.
Pre-plated steel/Galvanised Steel Sheet
Total Protection
With hot dip galvanising, every millimetre of the steel it touches is galvanised, which means the hot dip galvanising process reaches areas inaccessible to other similar processes for preventing rusting and corrosion.
Less Maintenance
The galvanised coating of cold rolled steel, using the hot dip galvanising process ensures it will never shrink or crack because it is metallurgically bonded to the steel it protects. It also offers superior resistance to abrasion and water.
Lowest First Cost
Hot dip galvanising is lower in first cost than many other commonly specified protective coatings for steel.
Lowest Long Term Cost
Even in cases where the initial cost of hot dip galvanising is higher than alternative coatings, hot dip galvanising is almost invariably more cost effective in the long term because it lasts longer and needs less maintenance.
Reliability
Galvanising products from Wybone Ltd is carried out to the appropriate International Standards as well as buyers specification for hot dip galvanising (if required). Coating life and performance are reliable and predictable.
Long Life
With hot dip galvanising, the Complete Galvanised Steel Tape, Galvanised Steel Strip, Galvanised Steel Coil and Galvanised Steel Wire is galvanised on all the surfaces, including the edges and meets requirements of Indian standards/British standards and other International standards. Zinc Coating will be uniform and adherent at all places.
Aluminum Sheet
Light Weight
A known lightweight metal, it has a specific weight of approximately 2.71 g/cm3. It’s about a third of the weight of steel, which makes it easier and cheaper to transport than most other metals. The strength of aluminium can be adapted using varying alloying elements to provide better benefits including higher strength or easier formability. Because of its lightweight nature, corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication, aluminium sheets are the firm for projects like vehicle panelling, artwork, building cladding and kitchen fitting among other applications
Corrosion Resistance
Aluminium is a corrosion resistant metal that naturally generates a protective coating. The coating formed is extremely thin and is generated when aluminium comes into contact with an oxidising environment. This protective aluminium oxide layer helps protect the surface of the metal from corrosion. Additionally, getting surface treatment such as painting or anodising can further improve the overall corrosion resistance of the metal.
Electrical and Thermal Conductivity
It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. Although aluminium is not as conductive as copper it is approximately a third of the weight meaning that an aluminium wire with half the weight of a copper wire would have the same amount of electrical resistance. As a result, it is the chosen material for power transmission lines. It is also an excellent conductor of heat and is used as heatsinks in a variety of applications such as LED lights, electrical products, computer motherboards, etc.
Odourless and Impermeable
Even with 0.007 mm thickness of aluminium foil, it is still impermeable and doesn’t have a substance taste or smell.
Recyclability
Contrary to what most people think, aluminium is a 100% recyclable and during the recycling process, it retains all of its original properties. During production, it is more cost-effective to use recycled metal than prime metal out of the ground and so, during production, as much recycled material is used as possible.
Cutting/Laser Processing
Cutting processing is cutting square pipes and angle materials to the specified dimensions in the engineering drawing by laser.
Punching
Punching is the process of punching the material according to the die. We mainly use a machine called turret punch press.
Tapping and Burring
Tapping is for making the threads in the metal sheet. Burring is for making tubes of threading, and screws can match it. This processing is mainly for making the hole with threads.
Countersinking
Expand and bevel the rim of the hole. Expand and bevel the rim of the hole. The surface looks very flush after inserting the screw, nail, or bolt.
Forming/Bending
Forming sheet metal is done by bending a metal plate (sheet metal) with two upper and lower dies. There are V-bending, L-bending, Z-bending, etc. We mainly use a machine called a press brake to bend.
Roll Processing
This is the process of rolling a metal material into a cylinder using multiple rollers.
Welding
Welding is melting the joints of two or more members with heat and joining them together. Welding types include CO2, argon, and automatic fibre laser welding.
Finishing
Welded parts and uneven parts generated by welding can be smoothed and flattened using an appropriate polishing machine or finishing tools such as sanders, grinders, precision files, sandpaper, etc. Besides, we also remove weld burn marks generated during welding.
Surface Treatment
Surface treatment is performed after the sheet metal product is welded. We perform processes such as powder coating, plating, and silk printing. The purpose is to prevent rust and to decorate.
