LanguageWhat is hard-metal bending? Hard-metal bending is a highly demanding metal-forming process used to plastically deform higher-hardness metals so the part matches the required shape and dimensions on the drawing. The real challenge isn’t “can it be bent,” but “can it be bent consistently well.” During bending, control over accuracy, throughput, and scrap rate is extremely […]

What Is Automotive Sheet Metal Tolerance? In our communication with automotive manufacturing buyers from different companies, we often hear a similar concern:the initial unit price does not seem high, but as the project moves into the mid-to-late stages, problems such as assembly interference, body distortion, and local surface dents gradually emerge. As a result, the […]
If you’ve ever spent time in a sheet metal workshop, you know it’s a place where noise, sparks, and precision all collide. After more than fifteen years on the shop floor, the evolution has been something to see. What used to be a world of manual bending, hand-fitting parts, and eyeballing weld seams has transformed […]
Hey, hold on a sec—let me grab my stool here, ’cause this one’s gonna take a minute. I’ve been slogging through this metal game for, geez, must be closing in on 25 years if I count the early days as an apprentice, back when my hands were softer and the machines seemed twice as big. […]
Hey folks, I’ve been a senior engineer grinding away at Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory for over a dozen years now. Yeah, more than twelve years of hands-on work, from the early days of basic bends and welds in our small setup in the industrial zone, to tackling those high-accuracy mechanical parts that require spot-on […]
Introduction Welding a half coupling to a pipe is a critical process across various industries, including oil and gas, manufacturing, and construction. Half couplings are essential components used to connect pipes to smaller branches, valves, instrumentation, or other fittings. The welding process demands a high level of skill and precision, as the resulting joint must […]
You know, sometimes I laugh when people refer to MIG welding as “easy.” Sure-feed some wire, squeeze the trigger, and boom, metal joins metal, right? Ha. Come to Baoxuan Sheet Metal Processing Factory on a Monday morning, and you’ll see three guys arguing over why the bead looks like pigeon poop. That’s “easy” for you. […]

Understanding the Role of Metal Bending in the Sheet Metal Processing Chain The metal bending process determines the structural precision and assembly compatibility of sheet metal components. It acts as the critical link connecting the cutting and welding stages, directly influencing the overall line productivity, yield rate, and delivery cycle. Within a typical sheet metal fabrication workflow, the bending […]
In a world where technology is advancing at lightning speed, there’s one thing that can never be replaced: the value of human expertise and craftsmanship. Sure, artificial intelligence (AI) can crunch numbers, analyze data, and even suggest welding techniques, but there’s something irreplaceable about the hands-on knowledge that only comes with years of experience. Let […]
Somebody asked me last week — “Hey old man, will soda blasting take off the powder coat?” I laughed a bit, not because it is a dumb question, but because it reminded me of a whole pile of ruined brackets sitting behind Line 3 about five years ago. We tried the same thing once, and […]
