What is Sheet Metal Fabrication?
Sheet Metal Fabrication is one of the most necessary types of modern industrial manufacturing. It is the process of turning flat sheets of steel or aluminium into metal structures or products, by cutting, punching, folding and assembling. Sheet metal fabrication is used in pretty much every sort of manufacturing field, notably in medical equipment, computers, electronics and appliances.
Fabrication services range from low-volume prototype to high-volume production runs with significant cost savings.
What are the advantages for sheet metal fabrication?
Advantages for Sheet Metal Fabrication | |
Efficiency and Accuracy | Through the use of the latest CAD/CAM and CNC technology and manufacturing equipment our sheet metal fabrication process is guaranteed to be efficient as well as accurate |
Durability and Malleability | Sheet metals are strong enough to withstand high pressures, yet they are malleable. They can be formed into almost any shape, which means they are an ideal material for innovative architects and designers to work |
Diversity Material | Sheet metal is of a low weight and thin gauge making transport and delivery of the product straightforward and cost effective. |
Easily Repairable | Repairs can be carried out in a simple and straightforward way by removing an individual metal sheet from a structure and replacing it without having to dismantle an entire construction. |
Low Cost | For all the reasons above – efficiency, durability, ease of transport and design – sheet metal fabrication offers customers a high quality yet inexpensive route to obtaining a product they can work with. |

Sheet Metal Fabrication Finishes
Finishing is a most important step in fabrication. Finishing is the final step in preparing metal products for use. Finishing makes products more resistant to corrosion, adds an extra layer of durability and makes surfaces look their best. Within those types of aluminum, stainless steel, steel. Listed on above, there are many sheet metal finishing options. Finishing provides higher electrical, chemical or tarnish resistance. A product’s finish is determined by its use. Here are some factors considered when choosing a finishing method.
Aluminum Material Series
| Material | Surface | Choose the right surface to your sheet metal fabrication | Finish Example | |||||||
| Aluminum Material Series | As Machined | ~125 RA µin (3.2 RA µm). Minor tool marks will be visible on the part. |  | |||||||
| Bead Blasted | Bead blasting adds a uniform matte or satin surface finish on a machined part, removing all tool marks. Mainly used for aesthetic purposes. |  | ||||||||
| Anodized Clear or Color | Anodizing adds a thin, hard, non-conductive ceramic coating on the surface of aluminum parts, increasing their corrosion and wear resistance. Available in a variety of colors |  | ||||||||
| Hard Anodized | Hardcoat anodizing produces a thicker ceramic coating providing excellent corrosion and wear resistance. for functional applications. |  | ||||||||
| Power Coated | Powder coating adds a thin layer of strong, wear and corrosion resistant protective polymer paint on the surface of a part. Available in a large range of colors. |  | ||||||||
| Brushing | Brushing is produced by polishing the metal with grit resulting in a unidirectional satin finish. |  | ||||||||
| Painted | Painting adds a thin layer of strong ,wear and corrosion resistant protective polymer paint on the surface of a part. Availabe in a large range of colors |  | ||||||||
| Alodine | Alodine is an inexpensive solution to prevent aluminum from oxidizing. There are two types: Conductive and Non-Conductive. |  | ||||||||
Stainless Steel Material Series
| Material | Surface | Choose the right surface to your Sheet Metal Fabrication parts | Finish Example | |||||||
| Stainless Steel Material Series | As Machined | ~125 RA µin (3.2 RA µm). Minor tool marks will be visible on the part. |  | |||||||
| Brushing | Brushing is produced by polishing the metal with grit resulting in a unidirectional satin finish. |  | ||||||||
| Polished | Polishing can make products achieve very glossy and smooth surface roughness |  | ||||||||
| Black Oxided | Black Oxided is a conversion coating for ferrous and non-ferrous materials |  | ||||||||
| Passivated | Passivation is the process of treating or coating a metal in order to reduce the chemical reactivity of its surface. |  | ||||||||
| Chromate Plated | It is used for decorating purpose,chrome plating can also serve as a layer of protect in as well. It is applied to metal objects when three is an increased opportuntiy for corrosion to occur |  | ||||||||
Steel & Alloy Steel Material Series
| Material | Surface | Choose the right surface to your Sheet Metal Fabrication parts | Finish Example | |||||||
| Steel & Alloy Steel Material Series | As Machined | ~125 RA µin (3.2 RA µm). Minor tool marks will be visible on the part. |  | |||||||
| Zinc Plating | Zinc plating, a process also known as galvanization, is the deposition of a thin layer of aluminum onto a metal component to provide a protective layer. |  | ||||||||
| Nickel Plated | Nickel electroplating a technique of electroplating a thin layer of nickel onto a metal object Electroless nickel plating, an auto-catalytic chemical technique used to deposit a layer of nickel-phosphorus or nickel-boron alloy on a solid workpiece. |  | ||||||||
| Heat Treated | Heat treating can soften metal, to improve formability. It can make parts harder, to improve strength. |  | ||||||||
