鈑金加工(gong)的工(gong)藝有很多種，但(dan)是每一種的使用(yong)方法和適(shi)用(yong)范(fan)圍都不(bu)一樣，我們(men)所(suo)要(yao)做(zuo)的就是根(gen)據不(bu)同的環境、不(bu)同的要(yao)求、不(bu)同的材料等選擇(ze)不(bu)同的加工(gong)工(gong)藝，在實(shi)際操作的時候要(yao)靈(ling)活掌(zhang)握。
傳統意義(yi)上來(lai)(lai)說，金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬板(ban)(ban)材的(de)(de)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝就(jiu)叫做鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)，例如利(li)用板(ban)(ban)材制作煙(yan)囪、鐵(tie)桶、油箱油壺(hu)、通風(feng)管道、彎(wan)頭大小(xiao)頭、天圓地方、漏斗形(xing)等。鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)主要工(gong)(gong)序是剪切、折彎(wan)扣邊、彎(wan)曲(qu)成型、焊接(jie)、鉚接(jie)等，進行鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)目(mu)的(de)(de)就(jiu)是為了將金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬板(ban)(ban)材加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)成各(ge)種形(xing)狀(zhuang)，從而(er)滿足各(ge)個領域的(de)(de)需求。鈑(ban)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)件(jian)(jian)(jian)就(jiu)是薄板(ban)(ban)五金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)件(jian)(jian)(jian)，也就(jiu)是可以通過沖壓，彎(wan)曲(qu)，拉伸等手段來(lai)(lai)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬零部件(jian)(jian)(jian)，它的(de)(de)定義(yi)就(jiu)是在加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)過程中厚度不變(bian)的(de)(de)零件(jian)(jian)(jian).。相對應(ying)的(de)(de)是鑄造件(jian)(jian)(jian)，鍛(duan)壓件(jian)(jian)(jian)，機械加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)零件(jian)(jian)(jian)等。
冷加工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝(yi)是(shi)鈑(ban)金加工(gong)(gong)行(xing)業經常(chang)會使(shi)用(yong)的(de)加工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝(yi)，適(shi)用(yong)于一些質量比較粗糙或(huo)者質量沒有保(bao)障的(de)金屬制品，幾乎每個鈑(ban)金加工(gong)(gong)廠都會這種工(gong)(gong)藝(yi)，但是(shi)如何將冷加工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝(yi)使(shi)用(yong)好，使(shi)用(yong)靈活是(shi)需要時間和經驗(yan)的(de)積累的(de)。
