The difference between sheet metal and metal fluent strips

Sheet metal and metal fluent strips are two common metal materials, they are widely used in different fields, such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, construction, and so on. Although both of these materials are metals, there are certain differences in their properties, processing technology and application fields. Let the sheet metal Fluent strip company explain the following.

First, sheet metal material is usually a sheet metal (usually a thin sheet) that has been stamped and is usually about 0.5mm to 6.0mm thick. Sheet metal material has the characteristics of light, thin, strong, hard and corrosion resistant. They are usually made of different kinds of metals, including steel, aluminum, magnesium, copper and so on. Sheet metal materials are widely used in automotive, household appliances, construction and other fields, mainly used to manufacture body, door, chassis, shell and other parts.

The metal fluent bar is used to carry and transfer the force of the structural parts, it is usually composed of one or several metal rods (usually cylindrical). Metal fluent strips with high strength, stiffness and stability are usually used in construction, bridge, guide system and other engineering fields. Metal fluent bar has different materials, including steel rod, titanium alloy rod, aluminum alloy rod, alloy steel rod and so on.

Secondly, in terms of processing technology, the manufacturing process of sheet metal is mainly realized by stamping forming. Therefore, sheet metal parts have the characteristics of high precision, high efficiency and low cost. And the manufacturing of metal fluent strip needs to be processed many times, such as forging, steel rolling pressing, stretching and so on, in order to get the required shape and size. As a result, the production cost of metal fluent strips is usually higher than sheet metal.

In the field of application, sheet metal is usually used in mass production, such as body and chassis in automobile manufacturing. The metal fluent bar is often used in construction, bridge, guide system and other special fields. In addition, sheet metal can be deep drawn, drawn, bent and other forming processes, so that a variety of shapes of parts can be produced. The shape of the metal fluent bar is usually more regular, and the application is relatively fixed.

There are also some differences in the properties of the two materials. Sheet metal materials have excellent corrosion and wear resistance, but they are brittle, easy to appear fatigue fracture and deformation problems; The metal fluent strips usually have high strength and toughness, but they are prone to hydrogen embrittlement and fracture in some harsh environments.

In short, sheet metal and metal fluent strips are metal materials, but they have certain differences in nature, processing technology and application fields. Sheet metal manufacturing process is simple and fast, cheap, suitable for mass production; The high manufacturing cost of metal fluent strips is suitable for special fields and high-end projects. In practical application, different materials should be selected according to specific needs to meet the requirements.
