鈑金加(jia)工(gong)的(de)工(gong)藝(yi)有(you)很(hen)多種，但是每一種的(de)使用方(fang)法和適用范圍都不(bu)一樣，我們所要(yao)做的(de)就(jiu)是根(gen)據(ju)不(bu)同(tong)的(de)環境、不(bu)同(tong)的(de)要(yao)求(qiu)、不(bu)同(tong)的(de)材料等選(xuan)擇不(bu)同(tong)的(de)加(jia)工(gong)工(gong)藝(yi)，在實(shi)際操(cao)作的(de)時候(hou)要(yao)靈活掌握。
傳統意義(yi)上來說(shuo)，金(jin)屬板材(cai)(cai)的(de)(de)加工(gong)工(gong)藝就(jiu)(jiu)叫做鈑(ban)金(jin)加工(gong)，例如利用板材(cai)(cai)制作煙囪、鐵桶、油箱(xiang)油壺、通風管道、彎(wan)頭大小頭、天圓地(di)方、漏斗形等(deng)。鈑(ban)金(jin)加工(gong)的(de)(de)主要工(gong)序(xu)是(shi)剪切、折彎(wan)扣(kou)邊、彎(wan)曲成型、焊接、鉚接等(deng)，進行鈑(ban)金(jin)加工(gong)的(de)(de)目的(de)(de)就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)為了將(jiang)金(jin)屬板材(cai)(cai)加工(gong)成各(ge)種(zhong)形狀，從而(er)滿足各(ge)個領(ling)域的(de)(de)需求。鈑(ban)金(jin)件(jian)(jian)就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)薄板五(wu)金(jin)件(jian)(jian)，也就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)可以通過沖壓(ya)，彎(wan)曲，拉伸(shen)等(deng)手段來加工(gong)的(de)(de)金(jin)屬零(ling)部(bu)件(jian)(jian)，它(ta)的(de)(de)定義(yi)就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)在(zai)加工(gong)過程中(zhong)厚(hou)度(du)不變的(de)(de)零(ling)件(jian)(jian).。相對應的(de)(de)是(shi)鑄造件(jian)(jian)，鍛(duan)壓(ya)件(jian)(jian)，機械加工(gong)零(ling)件(jian)(jian)等(deng)。
冷加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝是鈑金(jin)加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)行業經常會(hui)(hui)使用的(de)加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，適用于一(yi)些質量比較粗糙或者質量沒有保障的(de)金(jin)屬制品，幾(ji)乎每(mei)個鈑金(jin)加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)廠都會(hui)(hui)這種工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，但是如何將冷加工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝使用好，使用靈(ling)活是需要時間和經驗的(de)積累的(de)。
