The Sheet Metal Fabrication

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of cutting, bending, and assembling thin metal sheets (typically 0.5mm–6mm thick) into functional parts.

SHEET METAL FABRICATION

Sheet metal Box are integral components in various industries, serving multiple functions such as housing electrical systems, 

protecting equipment, and organizing connections.

sheet metal component Distribution BoxDistribution box

Electrical distribution systems often rely heavily on sheet metal components for protection,

durability,and structured installation.


Distribution Boxes / Panels

Sheet metal is used to fabricate enclosures that house circuit breakers and fuses.

Ensures electrical insulation, mechanical protection, and compliance with safety standards.

Typically made from galvanized steel, stainless steel, or powder-coated mild steel.


Switchgear Cabinets

Large enclosures for housing high-voltage or low-voltage switchgear.

Sheet metal offers strength to contain arc flashes and internal faults.


Control Panels

Used in industrial environments for machinery control.

Sheet metal ensures resistance to environmental factors (dust, vibration, etc.).


Busbar Trunking Systems

Sheet metal casings surround copper or aluminum busbars to distribute power.

Provides mechanical protection and containment.


Electrical Enclosures

NEMA/IP-rated enclosures for indoor/outdoor use.

Often made of stainless steel or aluminum for corrosion resistance.

Junction Box Junction Boxes:

Junction boxes composed of sheet metal are commonly used in electrical, 

telecommunications,and industrial applications to house and protect wiring, 

connections, and components.Sheet metal junction boxes are durable, 

cost-effective, and customizable,making them suitable for various environments.

1. Materials Used

Sheet metal junction boxes are typically made from:

Galvanized Steel: Offers corrosion resistance and strength,ideal for industrial and outdoor use.

Stainless Steel: Highly resistant to rust and chemicals,suitable for harsh environments (food processing,marine).

Aluminum: Lightweight,corrosion-resistant,and good for electrical grounding.

Carbon Steel: Used when strength is prioritized over corrosion resistance (often coated or painted).


2. Manufacturing Process

Cutting: Sheets are cut using laser,plasma,or shearing machines.

Bending/Folding: Press brakes or folding machines shape the metal.

Welding/Fastening: Components are joined via spot welding,seam welding,or mechanical fasteners (screws/rivets).

Finishing: Coating (powder/paint),galvanization,or passivation (for stainless steel) enhances durability.





Machining



1. Material Options
Material Thickness (mm) Key Properties Common Applications
Galvanized Steel 0.8 – 3.0 Corrosion-resistant, cost-effective Indoor/outdoor electrical enclosures
Stainless Steel (304/316) 1.0 – 3.0 High corrosion resistance, durable Harsh environments (chemical, marine)
Aluminum (5052/6061) 1.5 – 4.0 Lightweight, EMI shielding, non-sparking Telecom, HVAC, flammable areas
Carbon Steel (with coating) 1.2 – 3.0 High strength, requires paint/powder coat Industrial control panels
