2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

   Sheet metal is metal formed into thin, flat pieces, usually by an industrial process. Thicknesses can vary significantly; extremely thin sheets are considered foil or leaf, and pieces thicker than 6 mm (0.25 in) are considered plate, such as plate steel, a class of structural steel. Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips.

3. Metal fabrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_fabrication

   Metal fabrication is the creation of metal structures by cutting, bending and assembling processes. It is a value-added [1] process involving the creation of machines, parts, and structures from various raw materials. Typically, a fabrication shop bids on a job, usually based on engineering drawings, and if awarded the contract, builds the product.

4. Metalworking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalworking

   Metalworking is the process of shaping and reshaping metals in order to create useful objects, parts, assemblies, and large scale structures. As a term, it covers a wide and diverse range of processes, skills, and tools for producing objects on every scale: from huge ships, buildings, and bridges, down to precise engine parts and delicate ...

   Stamping (metalworking) Animation of a power press with a fixed barrier guard. Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes ...

6. Bending (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_(metalworking)

   Bending is a manufacturing process that produces a V-shape, U-shape, or channel shape along a straight axis in ductile materials, most commonly sheet metal. [1] Commonly used equipment include box and pan brakes, brake presses, and other specialized machine presses. Typical products that are made like this are boxes such as electrical ...

7. Rolling (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_(metalworking)

   Rolling (metalworking) In metalworking, rolling is a metal forming process in which metal stock is passed through one or more pairs of rolls to reduce the thickness, to make the thickness uniform, and/or to impart a desired mechanical property. The concept is similar to the rolling of dough. Rolling is classified according to the temperature of ...
