Sheet Metal

Sheet metal fabrication is the art of forming metal into flat and thin pieces that can be cut and bent into various shapes.

Many heating, ventilation, and air conditioning HVAC companies use custom fabricators to create ductwork with custom specifications. Creating everything from air ducts to plenums to brackets for HVAC systems is definitely a customized necessity since each HVAC system is different in measurements and needs.

Quality metal ductwork is essential for efficiently distributing conditioned air throughout Ohio homes and buildings. Your indoor air quality (IAQ) and comfort depend on quality ductwork. Call Green Home Heating & Cooling today to speak with one of our certified technicians about how custom fabrication can be a durable, cost-effective solution for you.

Sheet Metal Fabrication Basics

Custom-fabricated sheet metal typically comes in rectangular sheets or, if they’re thin and long, rolls. It also offers varying degrees of thickness.

HVAC systems dictate specific industry standards of thickness for various parts of the ductwork, but the majority of dictates fall into the 6 mm range.

Forming is a grouping of several processes, working together in a complementary manner to form the needed parts. One or more of these processes mechanically applies deformation forces changing the shape of the metal. Custom fabricators create ordered HVAC pieces by cutting and forming it into various shapes, then finishing each piece.

Here are the metals commonly used for fabrication:

• Aluminum
• Carbon Steel
• Stainless Steel
• Copper
• Titanium

While carbon steel is one of the most widely used metals in sheet fabrication, our team can help you determine the best metal to complete your design requirements. Schedule your appointment today to go over your project.

Sheet Metal Processes

A custom order can begin with an engineering drawing, a hand drawing, or even a phone call with the needed measurements. All specifications, particularly the measurements, are clarified before the project goes to the cutting, forming, and assembling stages:

• Cutting is the act of cutting the metal into smaller shapes that are used later in the fabrication process.
• The drawing process relies on a mold or dies to form your piece into the desired shape.
• Folding bends the metal to certain angles.
• Sheet metal punching creates holes in the sheet metal.
• Sheet metal shearing cuts the flat metal into a long straight line.
• Sheet metal stamping is similar to punching but does not completely cut through the metal.
• Roll forming turns it into a rounded shape.
• Assembling is joining the cut and formed pieces.
