Sheet Metal Processing Industry: What are the professional terms?


Riveting: refers to the process of firmly fastening fasteners such as rivet nuts, rivet screws, or rivet nut columns to workpieces using a punch or hydraulic press.

Riveting: refers to the process of tightly connecting two or more workpieces together using a riveting gun and rivets as tools.

Chamfering: refers to the process of cutting off the corners of a workpiece using a die on a punch or hydraulic press.

Hole enlargement: refers to the process of enlarging small holes on a workpiece using a drill bit or milling cutter.

Riveting: refers to the process of connecting two or more workpieces face to face using rivets. If it is a countersunk riveting, the workpiece needs to be countersunk first.

Forming: refers to the process of using molds on a punch or other specialized sheet metal processing equipment to shape sheet metal workpieces into specified shapes.

Shearing: refers to the process of cutting materials into specified shapes using a shearing machine.

Blanking: refers to the process of LASER cutting or CNC punching to cut workpieces into the desired shape.

Thread repair: refers to the process of repairing the second thread on a pre-tapped workpiece.

Blanking: refers to the process of shaping a workpiece into a specific shape using a regular punch or other equipment with molds.

Punching: refers to the process of punching holes in a workpiece using a regular punch and molds.

Flanging: also known as "flipping," refers to the process of forming a circular hole edge on a workpiece by using a mold on a regular punch or other equipment.

Flattening: refers to the process of machining a workpiece with a certain shape to make it flat.

Tapping: refers to the process of machining internal threads on a workpiece.

Leveling: refers to the process of machining a workpiece to make it flat using other processing equipment, ensuring the flatness of the workpiece before and after processing.

Punch tearing: also known as "punch bridging," refers to the process of shaping a workpiece into a shape similar to a bridge using a mold on a punch or hydraulic press.

Drilling: refers to the process of drilling holes in a workpiece using a drilling machine or milling machine.

Rivet nut installation: refers to a process similar to riveting. It uses a rivet nut gun to firmly attach connecting components such as pull-through nuts (POP) to the workpiece.

Chamfering: refers to the process of machining the sharp corners of a workpiece using molds, files, grinders, etc.

Punching mesh holes: refers to the process of punching a mesh pattern of holes in a workpiece using molds on a regular punch or CNC punch.

Bending: refers to the process of bending and shaping a workpiece using a bending machine.

Stamping: refers to the process of punching out text, symbols, or other imprints on a workpiece using molds.

Punching convex shapes: refers to the process of shaping a workpiece into a raised shape using a mold on a punch or hydraulic press.

Swaging: refers to the process of first countersinking the workpiece and then firmly pressing swage nuts onto the workpiece using a punch or hydraulic press.

Countersinking: refers to the process of machining tapered holes on a workpiece to accommodate connecting components such as countersunk screws.
