The materials commonly used in sheet metal processing include cold-rolled sheets (SPCC), hot-rolled sheets (SHCC), galvanized sheets (SECC, SGCC), copper (CU), brass, purple copper, beryllium copper, aluminum sheets (6061, 5052, 1010, 1060, 6063, hard aluminum, etc.), aluminum profiles, and stainless steel (mirror, brushed, and matte surfaces). Depending on the product's function, the materials used are different, and generally, the product's purpose and cost need to be considered.


1. Cold rolled stainless steel sheet metal processing SPCC, mainly used for electroplating and painting parts, low cost, easy to form, material thickness ≤ 3.2mm.

2. Hot rolled plate SHCC, material T ≥ 3.0mm, is also made of electroplated and painted parts, with low cost but difficult to form, mainly using flat parts.

3. Galvanized sheet SECC, SGCC. SECC electrolytic plates are divided into N material and P material. N material mainly does not undergo surface treatment and has high cost. P material is used for spraying parts.

4. Copper; Mainly using conductive materials, the surface treatment is nickel plating, chromium plating, or no treatment, which is costly.

5. Aluminum plate; Generally, surface chromate (J11-A) is used for oxidation (conductive oxidation, chemical oxidation), with high cost, including silver plating and nickel plating.

6. Aluminum profiles; Materials with complex cross-sectional structures are widely used in various plug-in boxes. The surface treatment is the same as that of aluminum plate.

7. Stainless steel; Mainly used without any surface treatment, with high cost.
