Looking Back, What Are The Industry Terms Of Sheet Metal Processing?

A comprehensive list of industry terms for sheet metal processing

  1. Pressure riveting: refers to the process of firmly crimping fasteners such as Countersunk Head Rivet Nut, pressure riveting screws or pressure riveting nut posts on the workpiece using a punch or hydraulic press.
  2. Expanding riveting: refers to the process of first countersinking the workpiece, and then using a punch or hydraulic machine to firmly crimp the expanding rivet nut on the workpiece.
  3. Pull mother: refers to the use of similar riveting process. The process of firmly connecting connecting pieces such as pop rivet nuts (POP) to the workpiece with a pull nut.
  4. Pull riveting: refers to the process of using pull riveting as a tool to connect two or more workpieces tightly with pull nails.
  5. Riveting: The process of connecting two or more workpieces face-to-face with rivets. For countersunk riveting, the workpieces need to be counterbored first.
  6. Corner cutting: refers to the process of cutting off the corners of the workpiece using a die on a punch or hydraulic press.
  7. Bending: refers to the process of forming a workpiece by a bending machine.
  8. Forming: refers to the process of deforming the workpiece using a mold on a common punch or other equipment.
  9. Cutting material: refers to the technological process of obtaining a rectangular workpiece through a shearing machine.
  10. Blanking: refers to the technological process of the workpiece being cut by LASER or punched by CNC punching machine.
  11. Blanking: refers to the process of using molds to obtain product shapes on ordinary punches or other equipment.
  12. Punching: refers to the technological process in which the workpiece is processed by ordinary punches and molds.
  13. Punching convex hull: refers to the process of forming a convex shape of a workpiece with a die on a punch or hydraulic press.
  14. Punching and tearing: also called "punching bridge", it refers to the process of forming a workpiece into a bridge-like shape in a punch or hydraulic press with a mold.
  15. Hole extraction: also called "flanging", refers to the process of forming a round hole on a workpiece using a mold on a common punch or other equipment. process.
  16. Tapping: refers to the process of machining internal threads on the workpiece.
  17. Leveling: Refers to the process of using other equipment to level the workpiece before and after the workpiece is uneven.
  18. Threading: Refers to the process of the second thread restoration of the pre-tapped workpiece.
  19. Drilling: refers to the technological process of drilling a workpiece with a drill bit on a drilling machine or milling machine.
  20. Chamfering: refers to the process of processing the sharp corners of the workpiece using molds, files, and grinders.
  21. Stamping: refers to the process of stamping out characters, symbols or other imprints on the workpiece using a mold.
  22. Counterbore: refers to the process of processing taper holes in the workpiece to match the connecting parts like countersunk screws.
  23. Flattening: refers to the process of transitioning from a certain shaped workpiece to flattening.
  24. Punching mesh: refers to the mesh punched out of the workpiece with a die on an ordinary punch or CNC punch.
  25. Reaming: refers to the process of processing small holes on a workpiece into large holes with a drill or milling cutter.
