Common metal parts manufacturing process and application

Commonly used metal materials are aluminum alloy, brass, bronze, copper, steel alloy and so on.

When choosing a material, consider its properties, manufacturability, appearance and cost.

Common metal parts manufacturing process

There are many common metal parts manufacturing processes, and the following are some common processes, as well as their application areas and product examples:

1. CNC machining (computer numerical control machining)

Process analysis: The machine tool is controlled by computer program to cut, drill and mill metal materials.

Application: Precision hardware parts, such as screws, nuts, shaft parts

2. Stamping process

Process analysis: The use of mold and punching machine for metal sheet punching, bending, stretching and other forming operations.

Application: Hardware parts such as gaskets, shrapnel, connectors.

3. Casting process

Process analysis: Molten metal is poured into the mold and cooled to form the desired shape. ,

Application: Hardware parts such as handles, shells, valves.

4. Forging process

Process analysis: The metal billet is deformed by hammer or pressure to form the required shape.

5. Welding process

Process analysis: Metal parts are connected together by heating or pressurizing.

6. Powder metallurgy

Process analysis: The metal powder is pressed into shape and then cured by sintering
