What is Automotive Sheet Metal?
1 Answers
Automotive sheet metal is a technical method of automobile repair, in this context, automotive sheet metal is equivalent to automotive sheet metal repair, which refers to the repair of the vehicle body after a collision. This includes all work except for the anti-corrosion and decorative spraying of the vehicle body. Additional details are as follows: 1. Introduction: Automotive sheet metal is a processing method for automobile maintenance, also known as cold working. To put it simply, if the exterior of the vehicle body is damaged or deformed, the sheet metal process is required. Automotive collision repair has evolved from the original 'hammering, pulling, welding, and patching' to the secondary manufacturing and assembly of the vehicle body. The repair of collision-damaged vehicles is no longer just about hammering and tapping the sheet metal; the quality of the repair cannot be judged solely by visually inspecting the vehicle's appearance and gaps. 2. Material Requirements: Sheet metal materials must have excellent plasticity. They must have the ability to undergo permanent deformation under external forces without being destroyed. For cold-working parts, good cold plasticity is required, such as automotive stamping parts; for hot-working parts, good hot plasticity is necessary, such as hot-forged spring steel plates and hot-riveted rivets.
