鈑金(jin)加(jia)工的(de)(de)(de)工藝(yi)有(you)很多種(zhong)，但是每(mei)一種(zhong)的(de)(de)(de)使用(yong)方法和適用(yong)范圍都不(bu)(bu)一樣(yang)，我們所要(yao)做的(de)(de)(de)就是根據不(bu)(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)環境、不(bu)(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)要(yao)求、不(bu)(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)材(cai)料等(deng)選擇不(bu)(bu)同的(de)(de)(de)加(jia)工工藝(yi)，在實(shi)際操作的(de)(de)(de)時候要(yao)靈活(huo)掌(zhang)握。
傳統(tong)意義上(shang)來說(shuo)，金屬(shu)板(ban)(ban)材的(de)(de)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝就(jiu)(jiu)叫(jiao)做鈑(ban)(ban)(ban)金加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)，例如利用板(ban)(ban)材制作煙囪、鐵(tie)桶、油(you)箱油(you)壺、通(tong)(tong)風管道、彎頭大小頭、天圓地方、漏斗形等。鈑(ban)(ban)(ban)金加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)主要工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)序(xu)是(shi)剪切、折彎扣邊、彎曲成型、焊(han)接(jie)、鉚接(jie)等，進(jin)行鈑(ban)(ban)(ban)金加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)目的(de)(de)就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)為了將(jiang)金屬(shu)板(ban)(ban)材加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)成各(ge)種形狀，從(cong)而(er)滿足各(ge)個領域的(de)(de)需求(qiu)。鈑(ban)(ban)(ban)金件(jian)(jian)就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)薄(bo)板(ban)(ban)五金件(jian)(jian)，也就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)可以通(tong)(tong)過沖壓，彎曲，拉(la)伸等手段來加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)金屬(shu)零部件(jian)(jian)，它(ta)的(de)(de)定義就(jiu)(jiu)是(shi)在加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)過程(cheng)中(zhong)厚度不變(bian)的(de)(de)零件(jian)(jian).。相對應的(de)(de)是(shi)鑄造件(jian)(jian)，鍛壓件(jian)(jian)，機械加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)零件(jian)(jian)等。
冷加(jia)工工藝(yi)(yi)是(shi)鈑(ban)金(jin)加(jia)工行業經常會(hui)使用的(de)加(jia)工工藝(yi)(yi)，適用于(yu)一些質量比較粗糙(cao)或者(zhe)質量沒有保障(zhang)的(de)金(jin)屬制品(pin)，幾乎每個鈑(ban)金(jin)加(jia)工廠都(dou)會(hui)這種工藝(yi)(yi)，但是(shi)如(ru)何將冷加(jia)工工藝(yi)(yi)使用好，使用靈活是(shi)需要時間(jian)和經驗的(de)積累的(de)。
