Sheet Metal Fabrication Terms
–
A substance that bonds the inner and outer panels of metal.
– Heating a metal
to a uniform heat and then rapidly cooling it with air or oil to harden
it.
– A metallic
element that is added to another metal to produce an alloy in order to
increase properties, such as hardness, strength and corrosion resistance.
– A test that is used
to determine the ductility and malleability of various metals.
– A piece of sheet metal
that has been cut for further press operation.
– A semi-finished piece
of metal that needs further processing.
– The process of joining
solid metals together by using a fusible filler metal with a melting point
below that of the base metal.
– A leftover ridge on the
edge of metal caused by cutting operations, such as trimming, slitting
and shearing.
– The rapid formation
and depletion of air bubbles within a metal during the solid/liquid interface.
Cavitation can cause permanent damage to the material.
– The application of
a thin coat of stainless steel to another metal in order to increase corrosion
resistance.
– The gradual deterioration of metals caused by
harsh chemical and environmental conditions.
– The speed at
which corrosion occurs on a particular substance.
– The slow strain on metals,
caused by stress, that occurs over time.
– A sheet metal part that
is cylindrical or shell-shaped with one end closed.
– The process of smoothing
the rough-cut edges of metal.
– A process that involves
removing the oxide layer, which forms on metal after hot forming processes.
– The amount of deformation
a metal can withstand before failure.
– The loss of
malleability in a metal after a physical change or due to chemical treatment.
– The state of a metal
after repeated stress, leading to an eventual fracture.
– Forming a panel
metal shape into a completed product.
– A projection from the
edge or rim of a metal part, typically narrow and of uniform width for
fastening.
– Removing parts of
the metal by using abrasives.
– Corrosion of a metal
due to oxygen.
– Localized corrosion
on a metal surface.
– The application
of stresses, which strain a metal material past its elastic boundary,
resulting in a permanent distortion.
– The capability
of metal to undergo permanent deformation without breakage.
– A very thin, flat-rolled
metal product.
– Stress point
beyond which a metal undergoes important permanent flow.
