Sheet Metal Processing Materials and Energy Consumption Reduction Measures

Mechanization continues to improve and progress, more machines need to be processed and cut, and sheet metal processing is more extensive. Sheet metal processing includes traditional cutting, blanking, bending and forming, as well as various cold stamping die structures and process parameters, as well as the working principles of various equipment and manipulation methods, including new stamping technology and new processes.

1. Material selection for sheet metal processing

Sheet metal has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, electrical conductivity, low cost, and good mass production performance. It has been widely used in the fields of electronics, communications, automobile industry, and medical equipment. The materials generally used in sheet metal processing are cold-rolled sheet, hot-rolled sheet, galvanized sheet, brass, red copper, beryllium copper, aluminum sheet, and stainless steel. Different materials are selected according to the different functions of the product.

2. Measures to reduce energy consumption in sheet metal processing

Many industries need to perform sheet metal processing operations, and attention should be paid to minimizing energy consumption during operations. For an operational task, reducing the amount of material input does not have much impact on cost recovery. For long-term large-scale processing, if the main purpose can be to shorten the investment and loss, which can reduce more expenses for the sheet metal processing companies and bring more economic benefits to the manufacturers.

During the sheet metal processing, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing investment, the staff needs to strictly follow the production specifications to complete the work flow. Before each processing, the application of the material needs to be reviewed, and no processing can be done without approval.

The waste in many processing industries is because the materials are not determined before processing, so the staff must first clarify the types of processed materials, and check the specifications and models of the materials, and make preparations to avoid errors during processing. It can also reduce the amount of waste. The staff should pay attention to the above problems when performing sheet metal processing.
