Sheet metal processing remains a fundamental manufacturing technology for industrial applications. While 工程塑料 have replaced metal in many applications, sheet metal processing continues to evolve alongside plastic manufacturing.
Sheet Metal Processing Methods
- Laser cutting — high precision, complex shapes, minimal tooling
- 打孔 — high speed, economical for simple shapes
- Bending — forming 3D shapes from flat sheet
- 焊接 — joining multiple components
- 燙金 — high-volume production with dedicated tooling
Sheet Metal vs Plastic Fabrication
| 因子 | Sheet Metal | 工程塑膠 |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 更高 | Lower (30-70% reduction) |
| Corrosion | Requires coating | Inherent resistance |
| EMI Shielding | 極佳 | Requires additives |
| Conductivity | 高 | Insulating |
Hybrid Designs: Metal + Plastic
Many modern products combine sheet metal and injection molded plastic components:
- Metal frames with plastic covers and brackets
- Metal structural elements with plastic aesthetic components
- Metal inserts molded into plastic for threaded connections
When to Choose Each Material
Choose sheet metal when:
- EMI shielding is required (electronics enclosures)
- High temperature resistance needed
- Structural rigidity with thin walls
- Electrical conductivity required
Choose engineering plastics when:
- Weight reduction is priority
- Chemical resistance needed
- Complex 3D geometry required
- Electrical insulation required
