Sheet Metal
Rapid Sheet Metal Prototyping for Agile Product Development
Application
Galvanized sheet is commonly used in Sheet metal fabrication. Sheet metal, also known as plate, kick plate, or finger plate, is denoted by its thickness. Sheet metal fabrication offers cost-effective solutions for producing prototypes, small batches, and mass-produced parts compared to other manufacturing methods.

PROPERTIES AND ADVANTAGES
Sheet metal fabrication is a low-cost manufacturing technique. It usually costs less than other methods, making it ideal for small businesses on a budget. Since this method does not require molds or tooling to create the part or part, many believe it is also less expensive. However, the toolless aspect of sheet metal stamping can sometimes make it more expensive, as you need to pay someone to do the layout and design work instead of using standardized tooling.
DISADVANTAGES
Sheet metal fabrication has an inherently high scrap rate. To work properly, stamping dies require a flat, smooth sheet metal surface. If the sheet is uneven, the result will be poor and the metal will have to be scrapped. Because this manufacturing process requires large areas of sheet metal, you run the risk of wasting many small pieces that don't meet quality standards. Obviously, mass production will increase your scrap volume.
more Product information
Galvanized sheet used in sheet metal manufacturing has the following advantages:
1. Good anti-corrosion performance: The surface of galvanized sheet is coated with a layer of zinc, which can effectively prevent oxidation and corrosion of the steel surface and extend the service life of sheet metal products.
2. High surface finish: The surface of galvanized sheets is smooth and uniform, which is conducive to painting and surface treatment, making the appearance of sheet metal products more beautiful.
3. Good processing performance: Galvanized sheet has good processing performance and is suitable for sheet metal processing processes such as stamping, bending, and welding.
4. Good weldability: Galvanized sheets can be welded and are suitable for making sheet metal products that require welding, such as metal structural parts, boxes, etc.
5. Recyclable and reused: Galvanized sheets can be recycled and reused, which meets environmental protection requirements and is conducive to resource recycling.
