Curling is the process of forming a circular ring at the edge of the metal sheet to make it safer for handling. There is a difference between a curled edge and a tear-shaped hem. In curling, the initial edge is rolled into the formed circle whereas, in the tear-shaped hem, the initial edge is still exposed.
Curling can also be classified into an off-centre and an on-centre roll. Off-centre rolls have the centre above the level of the sheet, whereas on-centre rolls have the centre at the same level as that of the metal sheet. Decambering is the process of removing camber from a sheet of metal. In a sheet of metal, especially in strip-shaped parts, a horizontal bend is produced when it is flattened into sheets. In decambering, we remove this horizontal bend by flattening the edges to remove the camber.
The force is applied on a deformed edge, and not on the face, to push it into a straight form. It is usually carried out on limited length sections. Only if the depth of the shape formed exceeds the original diameter of the sheet, it is considered deep drawing.
Punches and dies are used to create changes at every stage. Using this process, a sheet is converted into many different shapes like a fuel tank, sink, and automobile parts.
Deep drawing is mostly used for large-batch production. In this metal forming process, a sheet of metal is passed through perforating scissors where it is cut and stretched into a pattern. Usually, a diamond-shaped mesh is preferred as it has a structural advantage over other shapes.
This forming process is commonly used for manufacturing fences, catwalks, platforms, grating, etc. The process gives a self-draining, strong product that can support the weight it is designed for. These products can be used where a passage of air or a liquid is needed but there is a need to prevent larger particles from passing, e. The strength of the original metal is retained. Hydroforming is an innovative way of shaping metal sheets into a desired shape. In this process, the metal is placed on a die, but instead of a punch, high pressure fluid is used to shape the sheet.
With this process, more complex parts can be created in a shorter time-frame. It is also comparatively cheaper and requires less work. Hydroforming is also compatible with almost all materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, carbon steel, brass, and precious metals.
Since matching dies are generally not needed, hydroforming can be used to form unconventional shapes. Incremental sheet forming is a metalworking process to give a sheet metal a certain shape. It is only viable with low volumes. Changes can be made to the product quickly and without much hassle. In this process, the product is formed in incremental steps. The sheet material is shaped using a single point sphere. While the process gives a similar results to deep drawing, it does not need a separate set of punches and dies.
So the largest advantage of this method is its flexibility. Ironing process is used when the thickness needs to be reduced in a certain area of the sheet metal. This enables the manufacturer to get a uniform wall thickness when deep drawing products.
A good example of ironing is the process of manufacturing soda cans. The walls of the can need to be thinned to a predetermined thickness. Usually, 2 or 3 ironing processes with different dies are needed to create the desired thickness in aluminium soda cans. This ironing process is carried out in combination with deep drawing. Laser cutting is being used more and more for sheet metal cutting applications.
It is precise and the finish is extremely smooth. CNC machines are generally used to cut specific shapes. After feeding the program, the specific cut is carried out by laser.
Laser cutting has the advantage of flexibility. When needed, change in required shape can be carried out easily. It is also possible to cut the metal sheets into extremely complex pieces using laser cutting services.
Photochemical machining is a process in which controlled corrosion is carried out to create sheet metal parts as per requirements.
In this process, a photoresist and an etchant is used to give the metal sheet its shape. The method was developed in the 60s and even today is a comparatively inexpensive method.
Photochemical machining can be used to cut any metal. The process is ideal for mass production. If changes are required, they can be easily brought about. Just like laser cutting, the process is extremely precise and can offer a smooth finish. This process is used to make extremely fine meshes, apertures, flexible heating elements, metal gaskets, electrical contacts and jewellery. Punching is a very common technique for cutting holes in sheet metal.
The setup consists of a punch and a punching die. There is a very small clearance between the two. When the punch and the die meet, the material is pressed between the two and with subsequent pushing the shearing force cuts a hole in the sheet. Related items. Panorama Steel sheet tiles.
