鈑金加工(gong)的(de)(de)工(gong)藝(yi)有很(hen)多種(zhong)，但是每一種(zhong)的(de)(de)使用(yong)(yong)方法和(he)適用(yong)(yong)范(fan)圍都不一樣(yang)，我們所要(yao)做的(de)(de)就是根據不同(tong)的(de)(de)環境、不同(tong)的(de)(de)要(yao)求、不同(tong)的(de)(de)材料等選(xuan)擇不同(tong)的(de)(de)加工(gong)工(gong)藝(yi)，在(zai)實際操(cao)作的(de)(de)時候要(yao)靈(ling)活掌握。
傳統意義上來說，金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)板材的(de)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝就叫做鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)，例如利用板材制作煙囪、鐵(tie)桶、油箱油壺、通(tong)風管道、彎(wan)頭大小(xiao)頭、天圓(yuan)地方、漏斗形等(deng)(deng)。鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)主要工(gong)(gong)(gong)序是剪切、折彎(wan)扣邊、彎(wan)曲(qu)(qu)成型、焊接、鉚接等(deng)(deng)，進(jin)行鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)目的(de)就是為了將金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)板材加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)成各種形狀，從而滿(man)足各個領域(yu)的(de)需求。鈑金(jin)(jin)件就是薄板五金(jin)(jin)件，也就是可以通(tong)過沖壓，彎(wan)曲(qu)(qu)，拉伸(shen)等(deng)(deng)手段來加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)零(ling)(ling)部(bu)件，它的(de)定義就是在(zai)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)過程中厚度不變的(de)零(ling)(ling)件.。相對應的(de)是鑄造件，鍛壓件，機械加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)零(ling)(ling)件等(deng)(deng)。
冷加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝是鈑(ban)金(jin)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)行(xing)業(ye)經常會使(shi)用的(de)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，適用于一些(xie)質量(liang)比較粗糙(cao)或者質量(liang)沒有(you)保障的(de)金(jin)屬(shu)制品，幾乎每個鈑(ban)金(jin)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)廠都會這種工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，但是如何將(jiang)冷加(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝使(shi)用好，使(shi)用靈活是需(xu)要時(shi)間和經驗(yan)的(de)積累的(de)。
