Common materials for sheet metal processing

The application of Sheet Metal Processing technology is becoming more and more extensive, so do you know which materials are used? You should know that for different workplaces and usage requirements, different materials are often selected.

In sheet metal processing technology, one of the more commonly used materials is galvanized steel sheet, referred to as SECC. The substrate of this material is actually a general cold-rolled steel coil. After degreasing, pickling, electroplating and various post-processing processes in the continuous electrogalvanizing production line, it becomes an electrogalvanized product. This material not only has the mechanical properties and similar processability of ordinary cold-rolled steel sheets, but also has excellent corrosion resistance and decorative appearance.

Because of this, sheet metal processing products of this material are widely used in our lives. Especially in the market of electronic products, home appliances and furniture, it has great competition and substitution. For example, this material is commonly used in computer cases. The second more commonly used material is ordinary cold-rolled plate, referred to as SPCC, which mainly refers to the continuous rolling of steel ingots into steel coils or sheets of required thickness through a cold rolling mill.

It should be noted that products made of this material are prone to oxidation if they are exposed to air without protective measures. Therefore, the surface of sheet metal products made of this material is often painted, electroplated or otherwise protected to prolong the service life.

In addition, stainless steel products are becoming more and more common in our lives. These include stainless steel SUS304 material. In comparison, sheet metal products made of this material have better corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and very good mechanical properties.
