2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

   Sheet metal is available in flat pieces or coiled strips. The coils are formed by running a continuous sheet of metal through a roll slitter. In most of the world, sheet metal thickness is consistently specified in millimeters. In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its ...

3. Bending (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

   Bending (metalworking) Bending. A chimney starter, a sample product of bending. 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.

4. Brake (sheet metal bending) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_(sheet_metal_bending)

   Brake (sheet metal bending) A brake is a metalworking machine that allows the bending of sheet metal. A cornice brake only allows for simple bends and creases, while a box-and-pan brake also allows one to form box and pan shapes. It is also known as a bending machine or bending brake or in Britain as a sheet metal folder or just a folder .

5. Stamping (metalworking) - Wikipedia

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

   Stamping (metalworking) 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, such as punching using a machine press or stamping ...

6. Faraday cage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

   Animation showing how a Faraday cage (box) works. When an external electrical field (arrows) is applied, the electrons (little balls) in the metal move to the left side of the cage, giving it a negative charge, while the remaining unbalanced charge of the nuclei give the right side a positive charge. These induced charges create an opposing ...

7. Steel and tin cans - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_and_tin_cans

   Steel and tin cans. An empty tin can. A steel can, tin can, tin (especially in British English, Australian English, Canadian English and South African English ), or can is a container made of thin metal, for distribution or storage of goods. Some cans are opened by removing the top panel with a can opener or other tool; others have covers ...

8. 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 ...

9. Hydroforming - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroforming

   A plate being shaped through hydroforming. Hydroforming is a means of shaping ductile metals such as aluminium, brass, low alloy steel, and stainless steel into lightweight, structurally stiff and strong pieces. One of the largest applications of cost-effective hydroforming is the automotive industry, which makes use of the complex shapes made ...
