Custom Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of manufacturing parts and structures out of metal sheets through various fabrication methods. Cutting, bending, stamping, welding, and assembling are some of the well-known sheet metal fabrication techniques. Sheets of various types of steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other metals/alloys find use in various industries for part manufacturing.

Industries including aerospace, agriculture, automobile, petroleum, railways, electronics, HVAC, and military use sheet metal fabricated parts in large numbers. It is not always practical for companies to manufacture sheet metal parts in-house. Modern custom sheet metal fabrication services offered by Prolean can be a more suitable option than investing in the fabrication machinery for companies.

As Machined

Our standard finish is an “as machined” finish. It has a surface roughness of 3.2 μm (126 μin). All sharp edges are removed and parts are deburred. Tool marks are visible.

Smooth-machining

A finishing CNC machining operation can be applied to the part to reduce its surface roughness. The standard smoothing surface roughness (Ra) is 1.6 μm (64 μin). Machine marks are less evident but still visible.

 
Brushing

Brushing is produced by polishing the metal with grit resulting in a unidirectional satin finish. Not advisable for applications where corrosion resistance is required.

Passivation part

Passivation

Passivation is a treatment method to protect the metal from corroding, it generates a more uniform formation of a passive surface that is less likely to react with air and cause corrosion chemically.

Anodizing hardcoat

Type III anodizing provides excellent corrosion and wear resistance, suitable for functional applications.

Electropolishing

Electropolishing

Electropolishing is an electrochemical process used to polish, passivate and deburr metal parts. It is useful to reduce surface roughness.

Chromate conversion coating

Alodine/Chemfilm

Chromate conversion coating(Alodine/Chemfilm) is used to increase the corrosion resistance of metal alloys while maintaining their conductive properties.

Bead blasting

Bead blasting adds a uniform matte or satin surface finish on a machined part, removing the tool marks. This is used mainly for visual purposes and comes in several different grits which indicate the size of the bombarding pellets. 

Powder-Coating

Powder coating is a strong, wear-resistant finish that is compatible with all metal materials and can be combined with bead blasting to create parts with smooth and uniform surfaces and excellent corrosion resistance.

Black Oxide

Black Oxide

Black oxide is a conversion coating used to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
