鈑金加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)的(de)工(gong)(gong)藝(yi)有很多種，但是(shi)每一種的(de)使用(yong)方法和適(shi)用(yong)范(fan)圍都(dou)不(bu)(bu)一樣，我(wo)們所要(yao)做的(de)就是(shi)根(gen)據不(bu)(bu)同的(de)環境(jing)、不(bu)(bu)同的(de)要(yao)求、不(bu)(bu)同的(de)材(cai)料等選擇不(bu)(bu)同的(de)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝(yi)，在實(shi)際操(cao)作的(de)時候要(yao)靈活掌握。
傳統(tong)意義上來說，金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬板(ban)(ban)(ban)材(cai)的(de)(de)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)藝就叫做鈑金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)，例如利用板(ban)(ban)(ban)材(cai)制作煙(yan)囪、鐵桶、油箱油壺、通風管道、彎(wan)頭大(da)小頭、天圓地(di)方(fang)、漏斗形(xing)等。鈑金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)主(zhu)要(yao)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)序是(shi)(shi)剪切、折彎(wan)扣(kou)邊、彎(wan)曲(qu)成型、焊接(jie)、鉚接(jie)等，進(jin)行鈑金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)目的(de)(de)就是(shi)(shi)為(wei)了(le)將(jiang)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬板(ban)(ban)(ban)材(cai)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)成各種(zhong)形(xing)狀(zhuang)，從而(er)滿(man)足各個(ge)領(ling)域的(de)(de)需求。鈑金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)件就是(shi)(shi)薄板(ban)(ban)(ban)五金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)件，也就是(shi)(shi)可以通過沖壓，彎(wan)曲(qu)，拉伸(shen)等手段來加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)的(de)(de)金(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)(jin)屬零(ling)部件，它的(de)(de)定義就是(shi)(shi)在(zai)加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)過程中厚度不變的(de)(de)零(ling)件.。相對應的(de)(de)是(shi)(shi)鑄造件，鍛壓件，機械加(jia)(jia)工(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)(gong)零(ling)件等。
冷加工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝是(shi)(shi)鈑金加工(gong)(gong)行業經(jing)常會(hui)使(shi)用(yong)的加工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝，適用(yong)于(yu)一些(xie)質量比較粗糙或者質量沒有保障的金屬制(zhi)品，幾乎每個鈑金加工(gong)(gong)廠都(dou)會(hui)這種工(gong)(gong)藝，但是(shi)(shi)如(ru)何將冷加工(gong)(gong)工(gong)(gong)藝使(shi)用(yong)好，使(shi)用(yong)靈(ling)活(huo)是(shi)(shi)需(xu)要時間和經(jing)驗的積(ji)累(lei)的。
