As is well known, stainless steel Sheet Metal Processing refers to the cutting, bending, grooving, and other processing of stainless steel and other metal sheets. Whether in daily life or industrial applications, we often see the presence of stainless steel sheet metal processing products, so its application fields are very wide. Although many friends are familiar with stainless steel sheet metal processing products, they know very little about its process flow. Do you know the process flow of stainless steel sheet metal processing? Below, the editor of Aima Technology Co., Ltd. will introduce to you:

1. Planning of stainless steel sheet metal processing drawings

In the early stage of stainless steel sheet metal processing, it is necessary to understand the customer's needs. When receiving product order information and product requirements, a conceptual idea should be formed in the mind, especially the product appearance and forming, and then drawings should be made. Combined with product requirements, the drawings should be intuitively reflected on the drawings, and various parameters should be marked. If there are uncertain or uncertain parts of the requirements, they should be communicated with the customer in a timely manner. After the drawings are approved, they should be delivered to the engineering department, and then the engineering department should delegate the requirements to the construction workers. After the skilled workers have reviewed them, they can sign and send them to the workshop.

2. Laser processing or (CNC stamping)

Laser processing has no tool limitations, a flat cross-section, and is suitable for processing irregular workpieces, but it takes longer to process small workpieces. Placing a workbench next to CNC and laser is beneficial for placing the sheet metal on the machine for processing, reducing the workload of lifting the board.

3. Bending

When processing and bending stainless steel sheet metal, it is necessary to confirm the direction and standard of the bending with a sample. If there is excess or missing material, it should be adjusted in a timely manner. After the sample is confirmed, large-scale production can be carried out. Then, when replacing the mold and checking the workmanship during production, it is necessary to start from scratch. Perform quality inspection on the processed stainless steel sheet metal parts, sample and check the standards of the sheet metal parts, and then inspect them visually. For non-conforming products, return them to the furnace and fill out an inspection report.

4. Welding Forming

In order to ensure firmness during welding in stainless steel sheet metal processing, convex points need to be punched on the workpiece. The convex points should be in uniform contact with the plate before welding to ensure consistent heating at each welding point.

5. Electrostatic powder coating or (liquid paint)

The surface treatment of stainless steel sheet metal processing generally includes phosphating film, electroplating multicolored zinc, chromate, baking paint, oxidation, etc. Phosphating film is generally used for cold-rolled plates and electrolytic plates, and its main function is to coat a protective film on the material surface to prevent oxidation. The selection of specific surface treatment methods depends on the customer's requirements.  

6. Packaging and shipping

Before assembling stainless steel sheet metal processing products, the protective stickers used in the original spraying process should be torn off to ensure that the threaded holes inside the parts have not been sprayed with paint or powder. Throughout the process, gloves should be worn to prevent dust from adhering to the workpiece. If debris or dust is found on the workpiece, it needs to be blown clean before entering the packaging process.

In summary, it is the process flow of stainless steel sheet metal processing. However, due to the different structures of sheet metal parts, their process flow may also vary. Therefore, in the production process, everyone still needs to follow the actual situation.
