We pride our aluminum sheet fabrication capability. Our skilled team allows us to offer a wide range of services, including cutting, welding, stamping, and bending. We also can join aluminum to other metals, giving you the flexibility to create the exact product you need.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting aluminum sheet is an effective way of creating intricate shapes, forms, and designs from sheets of aluminum. With the help of a laser cutter, aluminum can be cut with precision to create parts for manufacturing and other applications.
The process utilizes a high-powered laser beam that melts and vaporizes the material it comes in contact with. This makes laser cutting incredibly accurate and allows for extremely precise cuts – regardless of the complexity or size of the project.
Stamping
Stamping aluminum sheets is a process of impressing an image or design onto the surface of the metal. The process involves using a die with the desired image to press into the aluminum.
The indentations created by the die transfer the image onto the aluminum. Before beginning a stamping project, cleaning the sheet metal and annealing, is essential.
It will help to prevent the aluminum from cracking during the stamping process. In addition, it is vital to use the proper tools and techniques when stamping aluminum.
Welding
Welding aluminum sheet is welding two or more sheets of aluminum together.The process can be done with welding machines that use an electrical current to create an arc between the two pieces of metal.
It melts the metal and allows it to flow together, creating a solid bond. One of the main advantages of welding aluminum sheets is that it is relatively easy to do and produces a strong joint resistant to corrosion.
Bending
Bending an aluminum sheet is bending the aluminum sheet to achieve a particular shape or angle. And bending is a vital process in aluminum sheet processing.
The thicker the aluminum sheet, the harder it is to bend. And the harder an aluminum sheet is, the harder it is to bend. And the lower the flexibility of the aluminum sheet, the more difficult it is to bend.
Based on these material properties, we can adjust bending parameters such as bending radius and angle to achieve better bending results.
Common Aluminum Grades In Sheet Metal Fabrication
Aluminum is one of the most popular materials used in sheet metal fabrication. It is lightweight yet strong, making it ideal for many applications. When choosing an aluminum grade for a project, it is vital to consider the properties of each grade and how they will affect the finished product.
Aluminum 6061
Aluminum 6061 is a heat-treatable grade that can be welded and formed using various methods.
It has excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for indoor and outdoor applications.
Aluminum 5052
Aluminum 5052 is another popular choice for sheet metal projects.
It has better corrosion resistance than 6061, making it a good option for marine or industrial applications.
Aluminum 3003
Aluminum 3003 is a softer grade. It can quickly form into complex shapes.
It is often suitable for food processing equipment or other applications where durability and appearance are essential.
Aluminum 1100
Generally, aluminum 1100 is a non-heat-treatable grade used for chemical storage tanks or other high-strength applications.
Surface Finishes of Aluminum sheet metal parts
The three standard surface finishes for aluminium sheet parts are anodizing metal plating and powder coating.
Anodizing is an electrolytic process that manufactures a thin, protective oxide layer on the surface of the metal. This finish improves the aesthetic aspect as well as the wear resistance.
Metal plating involves applying a thin layer of metal to the surface of the aluminium using an electrical current. Some common metals include tin, nickel, electroless nickel, gold, and silver.
Powder coating is a process in which finely ground pigment particles are suspended in liquid and then applied to metal surfaces.The pigments in the powder can create various effects, ranging from a high-gloss finish to a matte finish.

Aluminum Sheet Metal Manufacturing FAQs
We have learned that there’s a lot of mixed information online about aluminium sheet fabrication. So here are some of the most common questions we answer for our customers. It helps you quickly understand aluminium sheet metal parts fabrication.
How does aluminum sheet metal parts fabrication work?
Aluminum sheet metal fabrication is cutting and shaping aluminum sheet metal into desired shapes.
The aluminium sheet metal is first to cut into required sizes using a power saw or shear.
Next, the aluminum sheets are placed on a work table where they are cut, bent, and shaped into the desired form using various hand tools.
Finally, the fabricated aluminium sheet metal piece is sanded and polished to give it a smooth and finished look.
The entire aluminum sheet fabrication process can be done by hand or with the help of machines.
Once the aluminum sheet product is manufactured, it is suitable for various applications.
The advantages of aluminum sheet metal fabrication
Aluminum is a popular material for sheet metal fabrication due to its many advantages.
First, aluminum sheet is corrosion-resistant, meaning it will maintain its appearance and function even in harsh environments.
Second, aluminum sheet metal fabrication can manufacture parts with tight tolerances and intricate designs.
The process is also relatively fast and efficient, making it ideal for large-scale projects that require quick turnaround times.
Finally, low material waste is another advantage of aluminum sheet metal fabrication over other processes.
Consequently, aluminum sheet metal fabrication is a versatile and exact process that results in high-quality parts with various applications.

Can aluminium sheet be stamped?
Aluminum sheet can be stamped, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
Aluminum is a soft metal, so it needs to be paired with a more rigid metal die to create a clean, crisp impression.
In addition, aluminum is prone to tearing, so take care when stamping to avoid damaging the material.
When done correctly, aluminum punching can produce high-quality results that are perfect for various applications.
