At PCBasic, we offers professional and cost-effective services including laser cutting, metal bending and more.

Cutting

Cutting metal sheets into blanks per design dimensions, providing accurate shapes for further processing. Common methods include shearing, laser cutting, stamping, and milling.

Bending

Forming flat sheets into three-dimensional shapes at specified angles using dies, such as V-die bending tools.

Welding

Permanently joining sheet metal parts by melting materials—commonly used in frames and enclosures. Methods include TIG welding, MIG/MAG welding, and spot welding.

CNC Punching

Using dies to punch round or custom-shaped holes in sheets for mounting, ventilation, or decorative purposes.

Riveting

Fixing two sheet metal parts together using rivets or cold heading techniques.

Stamping Dies & Products

Forming complex 3D shapes in one press cycle using stamping dies—ideal for high-efficiency mass production of intricate components.

Our Sheet Metal Surface Finishing Processes

Here are our standard surface finish options. For custom requests like plating or polishing, feel free to reach out at js@pcbasic.com.

Standard (As Machined)

"As Machined" refers to parts delivered in their original post-machining state. After meeting dimensional requirements and ensuring no visible defects, only basic cleaning and packaging are applied. The part retains its raw material appearance and machining marks.

Anodizing

Anodizing is one of the key surface treatment processes for metals. By forming a protective or functional oxide layer, it significantly enhances corrosion resistance, improves appearance, and adds specific performance characteristics.

Sandblasted Anodizing

Sandblasting removes scale and surface contaminants while increasing roughness, allowing the oxide layer to adhere more effectively and improving its corrosion resistance and durability.

Powder Coating

Powder coating uses electrostatic adsorption to apply dry powder to the surface, which is then cured to form a uniform protective layer. Unlike liquid paint, it contains no solvents, making it more environmentally friendly, with superior wear resistance and coverage.

Polishing

Polishing smooths and levels the metal surface, improving appearance, reducing scratches and corrosion risk, and enhancing the adhesion of coatings or functional layers.

Brushed finish

Brushing creates fine, uniform surface textures using mechanical or chemical methods. It enhances metallic aesthetics, masks scratches, resists fingerprints, improves grip, aids heat dissipation, and conceals minor imperfections.

Spray painting

Spray painting forms a protective film on the metal surface, offering corrosion resistance, decorative enhancement, improved wear resistance, functional isolation, and environmental adaptability.

Electroplating

Electroplating deposits a layer of metal or alloy onto the surface via electrolysis. It enhances corrosion and wear resistance, improves appearance, conductivity, and weldability, and supports functions like EMI shielding and high-temperature resistance.

Aluminum Sheet(5052/1060)

5052 aluminum alloy is a typical Al-Mg alloy with excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and moderate strength. It is widely used in sheet metal fabrication, electronic enclosures, automotive parts, and marine equipment. Known for its outstanding weldability and high fatigue strength, it is ideal for applications requiring durability and lightweight design. While not heat-treatable, its strength can be enhanced through cold working, making it suitable for both structural and exterior components.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, maintaining performance in humid or harsh environments. Its smooth and attractive surface makes it suitable for cutting, bending, and welding, widely used in enclosures, structural parts, kitchen equipment, and medical devices. Common grades like 304 and 316 combine strength, processability, and rust resistance—ideal for durable and aesthetically demanding applications.

Brass

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc with excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, and outstanding workability. It is easy to stamp, cut, and weld. With high mechanical strength, good wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance, brass is commonly used in terminals, decorative parts, hardware components, and precision fittings. Its attractive golden appearance makes it suitable for both functional and decorative applications.

Copper

Copper, with a purity above 99.9%, offers exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity. It has excellent ductility and is easy to stretch, bend, and weld, making it ideal for precision machining. Copper also provides good corrosion and fatigue resistance and is widely used in electrical connectors, conductors, heat sinks, busbars, and piping where conductivity and heat transfer are critical.

Steel Sheet

Steel sheets offer good strength, weldability, and cost efficiency, making them suitable for structural parts and brackets where appearance is not a primary concern. Surface performance and corrosion resistance can be enhanced through coating, plating, and other treatments.
