鈑金加(jia)工(gong)的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)藝(yi)有(you)很多種，但(dan)是每一種的(de)(de)(de)使(shi)用方法和適用范圍都(dou)不(bu)一樣，我們所要做的(de)(de)(de)就是根據(ju)不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)環(huan)境、不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)要求、不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)材(cai)料等選擇不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)加(jia)工(gong)工(gong)藝(yi)，在實際操作的(de)(de)(de)時候要靈(ling)活掌握(wo)。
傳統意義(yi)上來(lai)說，金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)板(ban)(ban)材(cai)的加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝就(jiu)叫做鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)，例(li)如利用(yong)板(ban)(ban)材(cai)制作(zuo)煙囪、鐵(tie)桶、油(you)(you)箱油(you)(you)壺、通(tong)風管道、彎頭大小(xiao)頭、天圓地(di)方、漏(lou)斗(dou)形等(deng)。鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)的主(zhu)要工(gong)(gong)序(xu)是(shi)剪切、折彎扣(kou)邊、彎曲成型、焊接(jie)、鉚接(jie)等(deng)，進行鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)的目的就(jiu)是(shi)為了將(jiang)金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)板(ban)(ban)材(cai)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)成各種形狀，從而滿足各個(ge)領域的需求。鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)件就(jiu)是(shi)薄(bo)板(ban)(ban)五金(jin)(jin)件，也就(jiu)是(shi)可以通(tong)過沖壓(ya)，彎曲，拉伸等(deng)手段來(lai)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)的金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)(shu)零部(bu)件，它的定(ding)義(yi)就(jiu)是(shi)在加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)過程中厚度不變的零件.。相對應的是(shi)鑄造件，鍛壓(ya)件，機(ji)械加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)零件等(deng)。
冷加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)是鈑(ban)金加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)行業經常會(hui)使用(yong)的加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)，適(shi)用(yong)于一(yi)些質(zhi)量比(bi)較(jiao)粗(cu)糙或者質(zhi)量沒有(you)保障的金屬制品，幾乎每個鈑(ban)金加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)廠都會(hui)這種工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)，但是如(ru)何(he)將冷加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)使用(yong)好，使用(yong)靈活是需要時間和經驗的積累的。
