Product Description:
Strength and Durability of sheet metal fabrication
Sheet metal is strong and durable, and sheet metal parts are often
able to withstand greater pressure and heat than those made with
plastic. In addition to this, aluminum, stainless steel, or
surface-treated steel are all resistant to pressure, corrosion, and
wear and tear. While a method like casting will share these
benefits, plastic will not hold up as well with the passage of
time.
Malleability of sheet metal fabrication
In addition to being durable, sheet metal is also malleable. With
the right equipment, it can be bent into numerous shapes, while
still retaining its strength and structural integrity. Sheet metal
also has the ability to be compressed or stretched without breaking
or cracking. When a part is cast or molded, you get a very specific
shape, but you also had to pay for a very specific, and usually
expensive, mold. If you decide to change your part at all, it can
be very expensive to invest in a new mold, and tooling for plastic
can be very expensive as well. With sheet metal, it’s as simple as
bending the part in a different place to create a new and unique
shape. The malleability of sheet metal allows it to be effectively
and efficiently used in custom, complex, or highly specialized
applications.
Replaceability of sheet metal fabrication
One of the biggest advantages of using sheet metal is that the
parts are replaceable. If several metal parts are used to make an
assembly, instead of making the whole part out of one substance,
the individual components can be removed and replaced without
having to replace the entire assembly. This can save money on
repairs and even allow for modifications and upgrades.
Sustainability of sheet metal fabrication
As far as materials go, metal is by far one of the most sustainable
materials. Metal is a natural resource that is both environmentally
and economically strategic. When the parts are no longer needed,
they can be recycled indefinitely and turned into other parts.
Plastic has a limited ability to be recycled and cannot be easily
and safely disposed once it reaches its end point. Metal
manufacturing is a much more responsible and sustainable option.
Cost-Effectiveness of sheet metal fabrication
Tooling costs for plastics can be very expensive, making sheet
metal a more economical choice. Many companies move from cast or
molded parts to sheet metal because of the overall reduction in
costs and material waste. Material lifespan and longevity must also
be considered when evaluating the cost of material. The cheapest
material is not necessarily the most cost-efficient option if it
will not serve you well for a long period of time and has to be
consistently replaced or maintained. The strength and durability
features of sheet metal make it a more cost-effective option.
Applications:
Construction and Plumbing: Used in fittings, valves, and connectors
where moderate strength and machinability are required.
| Construction and Plumbing | Used in fittings, valves, and connectors where moderate strength
and machinability are required |
| Machined Parts | Widely used in the manufacturing of small machine parts and
hardware. |
| Decorative Items | Often used for decorative metal items because of its golden color
and ease of finishing. |
