鈑(ban)金(jin)加(jia)(jia)工的(de)(de)(de)工藝有很多種，但是每一(yi)種的(de)(de)(de)使(shi)用(yong)方法和(he)適用(yong)范圍都不(bu)一(yi)樣，我們(men)所(suo)要(yao)做的(de)(de)(de)就是根據不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)環境、不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)要(yao)求、不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)材料等選(xuan)擇不(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)加(jia)(jia)工工藝，在實際操作(zuo)的(de)(de)(de)時候要(yao)靈活掌握。
傳統意(yi)義上來(lai)說(shuo)，金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)板材(cai)的加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝(yi)就(jiu)(jiu)叫做鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)，例如利(li)用(yong)板材(cai)制作煙(yan)囪、鐵桶、油箱油壺、通風管(guan)道、彎(wan)頭(tou)大小頭(tou)、天(tian)圓地方、漏(lou)斗形(xing)等(deng)(deng)。鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的主要工(gong)(gong)(gong)序是(shi)(shi)剪(jian)切、折彎(wan)扣邊、彎(wan)曲(qu)成(cheng)型、焊接、鉚(liu)接等(deng)(deng)，進行鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的目(mu)的就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)(shi)為了將(jiang)金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)板材(cai)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)成(cheng)各種(zhong)形(xing)狀，從(cong)而滿足各個領域的需求。鈑金(jin)(jin)件就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)(shi)薄板五金(jin)(jin)件，也就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)(shi)可以通過沖壓，彎(wan)曲(qu)，拉(la)伸(shen)等(deng)(deng)手段來(lai)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)零部件，它的定(ding)義就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)(shi)在加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)過程中厚度不變(bian)的零件.。相對應的是(shi)(shi)鑄(zhu)造件，鍛壓件，機械(xie)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)零件等(deng)(deng)。
冷加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝是鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)行業經(jing)常會(hui)使(shi)用的加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，適用于一些(xie)質量比(bi)較粗糙或者質量沒有保(bao)障的金(jin)(jin)屬制品，幾乎每個鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)廠都會(hui)這(zhe)種工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，但(dan)是如(ru)何(he)將冷加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝使(shi)用好，使(shi)用靈活是需要時間和經(jing)驗(yan)的積累(lei)的。
