The materials commonly used in sheet metal processing include cold rolled plate (SPCC), hot rolled plate (SHCC), galvanized plate (SECC, SGCC), copper (CU) brass, red copper, beryllium copper, aluminum plate (6061, 5052, 1010, 1060, 6063, duralumin, etc.), stainless steel (mirror surface, brushed surface, matte surface). Depending on the function of the product, the materials used are different. Generally, the use and cost of the product need to be considered.

Generally speaking, the basic equipment of sheet metal technology includes shear machine, CNC punching machine/laser, plasma, water jet cutting machine, bending machine, drilling machine and various Auxiliary equipment such as: decoiler, leveling machine, deburring machine, spot welding machine, etc.

Generally, the four most important steps in the sheet metal process are shearing, punching/cutting/folding/rolling, welding, surface treatment, etc.

The equipment required for sheet metal processing is closely related to the sheet metal processing process. Basically, laser cutting machines, shearing machines, CNC punches, punching machines, sheet metal bending machines, riveting machines, wire drawing machines and other equipment are required.
