Sheet Metal Fabrication - Selection of Materials

The commonly used materials for sheet metal fabrication include cold-rolled sheet (SPCC), hot-rolled sheet (SHCC), galvanized sheet (SECC, SGCC), copper (CU) brass, copper, beryllium copper, aluminum (6061, 5052) 1010, 1060, 6063, hard aluminum, etc.), stainless steel (mirror, brushed surface, matte), depending on the role of the product, different materials, generally need to consider the use of the product and cost.

1. Cold-rolled plate SPCC, mainly used for electroplating and baking paint parts, low cost, easy molding, material thickness ≤ 3.2mm.

2. Hot-rolled plate SHCC, material T ≥ 3.0mm, is also used for electroplating, paint pieces, low cost, but difficult to shape, mainly used flat pieces.

3. Galvanized sheet SECC, SGCC. SECC electrolysis board is divided into N material and P material. N material is not used for surface treatment and the cost is high. P material is used for spraying parts.

4. Copper; mainly conductive materials, the surface treatment is nickel, chrome, or no treatment, high cost.

5. Aluminum plate; general use of surface chromate (J11-A), oxidation (conductive oxidation, chemical oxidation), high cost, silver plating, nickel plating.

6. Aluminium profiles; pieces of material with complex cross-section structures are used extensively in various insert boxes. Surface treatment with aluminum plate.

7. Stainless steel; mainly used without any surface treatment, high cost.
