鈑金(jin)加工的(de)(de)工藝(yi)有(you)很多種，但是每一種的(de)(de)使用方(fang)法和適用范(fan)圍都(dou)不(bu)(bu)一樣，我們所要做的(de)(de)就是根據不(bu)(bu)同(tong)的(de)(de)環境、不(bu)(bu)同(tong)的(de)(de)要求(qiu)、不(bu)(bu)同(tong)的(de)(de)材料等選擇不(bu)(bu)同(tong)的(de)(de)加工工藝(yi)，在實際(ji)操(cao)作(zuo)的(de)(de)時候要靈(ling)活(huo)掌握。
傳統(tong)意(yi)義(yi)(yi)上來說，金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬板(ban)材的(de)(de)(de)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝就(jiu)叫(jiao)做鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)，例如利用板(ban)材制作煙囪、鐵桶、油箱油壺、通(tong)風管(guan)道、彎(wan)頭大小頭、天圓地方、漏斗形(xing)等(deng)。鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)(de)主要(yao)工(gong)(gong)序是(shi)剪切、折彎(wan)扣邊(bian)、彎(wan)曲成型(xing)、焊(han)接、鉚(liu)接等(deng)，進行鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)工(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)(de)目(mu)的(de)(de)(de)就(jiu)是(shi)為了將金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬板(ban)材加(jia)工(gong)(gong)成各(ge)種形(xing)狀(zhuang)，從(cong)而滿足各(ge)個領域的(de)(de)(de)需求。鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)件就(jiu)是(shi)薄板(ban)五金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)件，也就(jiu)是(shi)可以通(tong)過沖壓，彎(wan)曲，拉伸等(deng)手段來加(jia)工(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)(de)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬零(ling)部件，它(ta)的(de)(de)(de)定義(yi)(yi)就(jiu)是(shi)在加(jia)工(gong)(gong)過程中厚度(du)不(bu)變(bian)的(de)(de)(de)零(ling)件.。相對應的(de)(de)(de)是(shi)鑄(zhu)造件，鍛壓件，機械加(jia)工(gong)(gong)零(ling)件等(deng)。
冷加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)工(gong)藝(yi)(yi)是鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)行(xing)業經(jing)常會使(shi)用(yong)(yong)的加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)工(gong)藝(yi)(yi)，適用(yong)(yong)于一些質量比(bi)較粗(cu)糙或者質量沒(mei)有保障的金(jin)(jin)屬(shu)制(zhi)品(pin)，幾乎每個鈑金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)廠都會這種(zhong)工(gong)藝(yi)(yi)，但是如何將冷加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)工(gong)藝(yi)(yi)使(shi)用(yong)(yong)好，使(shi)用(yong)(yong)靈活是需要時間和經(jing)驗的積累的。
