Sheet Metal Welding in China: What OEM Buyers Should Specify
Sheet metal welding can turn cut and bent components into a rigid frame, cabinet, bracket, or equipment assembly. It can also create distortion, cosmetic marks, and fit-up issues if requirements are not agreed early.
Common welded sheet metal parts
Stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum projects may need different weld methods and finishing expectations.
The final requirement may be strength, appearance, sealing, or assembly fit. Each goal changes the production plan.
RFQ details for welded assemblies
Provide assembly drawings, exploded views, weld symbols if available, and notes on visible surfaces.
Confirm whether welds should be continuous, intermittent, ground smooth, left visible, or hidden after assembly.
Share fixtures, mating parts, or critical datums when fit-up matters.
Distortion and appearance control
Thin sheet metal can move during welding. Part design, weld sequence, and fixture planning matter.
If powder coating or brushing follows welding, grinding and surface preparation requirements should be specified.
For customer-facing parts, define acceptable appearance before samples are made.
Inspection and packing
Useful inspection points include overall dimensions, flatness, hole alignment, weld appearance, and assembly fit.
Finished welded assemblies often need protective separators, corner protection, and stronger cartons or pallets for export.
