Peen forming is suitable for shallow contours on large sheets.
Disadvantages of sheet metal process.
Shearing is less than ideal with harder metals.
However the disadvantages are that forming times are long production rates are low and the parts are not suitable for high temperature use.
Sheet metal forming process advantages and disadvantages 1.
Metal is more cost efficient when it comes to long term high volume lines of production.
It produces good surface finish.
In some applications especially in stretch wrapping the process is slower than competitive processes and it is not suited to high volume production.
This process is also used for straightening parts.
Despite the pros the metal shearing process also has some notable disadvantages.
Stretch forming can be used to produce large parts with shallow contours but it is only suitable.
Metal can go through a wider range of processes including chipping deep drawing casting forging welding and soldering.
This process is for long parts with constant complex cross sections.
