Materials
The steel is stainless steel and aluminum. The manufacturing, food processing, and storage industries.
Aluminum is popular because it offers compressive strength, tensile strength, and lightness. Aluminum sheet metal products have applications in aerospace, automotive manufacturing and other transportation industries, and the packaging, construction, food and beverage, music, household, and electronics industries, among Other metals used to create sheet metal include brass, copper, nickel, titanium and, for specialty applications, gold, silver, and platinum.

Sheet Metal Forming
Before a piece of sheet metal can be formed into any part or product, manufacturers must form the sheet metal itself. To get it to reach its rectangular sheet form, sheet metal workers heat raw metal is until it is malleable. Then, they lay it Out as long, molten slabs. After this, they feed the slabs of precision sheet metal through a set of large, powerful rollers. The rollers compress the metal slabs into large, broad planes, or sheets.
Sheet Metal Shipping
After metalworkers create the sheet metal, they cut it to size and send it on to another manufacturing plant. At the next location, the metal sheet undergoes design and fabrication.
Part Design
At this point, manufacturers create a design. Sheet metal design is the process of identifying any and all potential stress points, weak areas, and other potential problems a finished product may face, and formulating and carrying out a comprehensive plan of action to ensure that The product does not fall victim to any of these potential issues.
Part Fabrication
During this part of fabrication, manufacturers manipulate the metal sheet so that it can become the product they wish to make. To do so, manufacturers may participate in any number of metalworking processes, including machining, cutting, sawing, shearing, drilling, perforating, Stretching, rolling, spinning, ironing, stamping, sanding, deburring, blanking, and welding (spot welding, MIG welding (metal inert gas welding), TIG welding (tungsten inert gas welding), stick welding, etc.).
Heat Treatment (Optional)
Heat treatment is an optional step, but metalworkers almost always take the opportunity to perform it. Manufacturers heat treat metal parts to either harden and strengthen them, or soften them for further working. Some of the most common heat treatment methods include tempering, quenching, And annealing.
Assembly (Optional)
Finally, if a precision sheet metal product consists of multiple parts, manufacturers often assemble them before shipping it out.
