Metal Enclosure Design Tips
Designing a metal enclosure requires attention to several factors to ensure functionality, durability, and ease of manufacturing. Here are some key tips: 1. Material Selection Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and good for heat dissipation. Steel: Stronger than aluminum but heavier; it can be galvanized or powder-coated for corrosion resistance. Stainless Steel: Excellent corrosion resistance and durability, ideal for harsh environments. Copper or Brass: Used for high conductivity requirements, though expensive.

Advantages of Laser Welding of Sheet Metal Cabinet
The production process of the processing industry of sheet metal chassis and cabinets has developed rapidly. In the welding operation of chassis and cabinets, there are mostly strict welding requirements, such as welding slag, deformation, burn through, bulge and depression are not allowed. The welding requirements are neat, uniform, firm and reliable. With the popularization of laser cutting machine, the accuracy of sheet metal cutting and blanking is getting higher and higher, which also creates conditions for the application of laser welding machine technology. Many sheet metal processing enterprises began to consider using laser welding machine technology to improve welding accuracy and aesthetics.

How to Select the Processing Method of Sheet Metal Parts?
The weight of sheet metal processing parts is relatively light, but the strength is high and the conductivity is good. The important thing is that the cost is relatively low. If a large number of large-scale production has good performance, processing can improve the function and service life of products. Of course, we all know that processing skills are indeed a little troublesome, but the processing of sheet metal chassis shell can bring greater benefits to enterprises, so there are so many reasons for selective processing.

Four Basic Cold Processing Links to Optimize Sheet Metal Design
Generally, sheet metal parts have obvious advantages in strength, weight and cost, and have better point-to-point performance than traditional parts. Therefore, up to now, sheet metal parts have been gradually applied in China’s high-tech fields such as electronics and communication. At the same time, people have gradually put forward higher requirements for the quality and function of sheet metal parts, The proper optimization of the original sheet metal processing technology has become the focus of sheet metal processing personnel. According to the actual research, this paper believes that the optimization of processing technology should be carried out one by one from the application of four basic cold processing links of sheet metal processing.

Reduce the Deformation of Sheet Metal Welding With the Help of External Force
1 Water cooling block Many techniques can be used to control the welding deformation of special welding workpieces. For example, in thin plate welding, the use of water-cooled blocks can take away the heat of the welded workpiece. The copper pipe is welded to the copper fixture by brazing or tin welding, and the circulating cooling is carried out through the water pipe to reduce the welding deformation.
