鈑金加(jia)工(gong)的(de)(de)(de)工(gong)藝有很多(duo)種(zhong)(zhong)，但是每一(yi)種(zhong)(zhong)的(de)(de)(de)使(shi)用方法和(he)適用范圍(wei)都不一(yi)樣，我(wo)們所要(yao)(yao)做(zuo)的(de)(de)(de)就(jiu)是根(gen)據(ju)不同(tong)的(de)(de)(de)環境、不同(tong)的(de)(de)(de)要(yao)(yao)求、不同(tong)的(de)(de)(de)材料等(deng)選(xuan)擇不同(tong)的(de)(de)(de)加(jia)工(gong)工(gong)藝，在實際操(cao)作(zuo)的(de)(de)(de)時候要(yao)(yao)靈活掌握(wo)。
傳(chuan)統意義上來(lai)說，金(jin)(jin)屬板材(cai)的加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)藝就叫做鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)，例如利(li)用板材(cai)制作煙囪、鐵(tie)桶、油(you)箱油(you)壺、通風(feng)管道、彎(wan)頭(tou)大小頭(tou)、天圓地方(fang)、漏(lou)斗形(xing)等(deng)。鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的主要工(gong)(gong)(gong)序是(shi)剪切、折彎(wan)扣邊、彎(wan)曲(qu)成(cheng)(cheng)型(xing)、焊接、鉚接等(deng)，進行鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的目的就是(shi)為了(le)將金(jin)(jin)屬板材(cai)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)成(cheng)(cheng)各(ge)種形(xing)狀，從(cong)而滿足各(ge)個領(ling)域的需求。鈑(ban)(ban)金(jin)(jin)件就是(shi)薄板五金(jin)(jin)件，也就是(shi)可(ke)以通過沖壓(ya)，彎(wan)曲(qu)，拉伸等(deng)手(shou)段來(lai)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)的金(jin)(jin)屬零(ling)部(bu)件，它(ta)的定義就是(shi)在加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)過程(cheng)中厚度不變的零(ling)件.。相對應的是(shi)鑄造件，鍛壓(ya)件，機械(xie)加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)零(ling)件等(deng)。
冷加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝是鈑金加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)行業(ye)經(jing)常(chang)會使用(yong)(yong)的加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，適用(yong)(yong)于一些質量比較粗糙或(huo)者質量沒有保障的金屬制品，幾乎每個(ge)鈑金加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)廠都會這(zhe)種(zhong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝，但是如何(he)將(jiang)冷加(jia)(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝使用(yong)(yong)好，使用(yong)(yong)靈活是需要(yao)時間和(he)經(jing)驗的積(ji)累(lei)的。
