Different metal artists have different manufacturing processes, and some metal furniture also mixes wood materials, soft materials, plastics, glass and other materials. According to the design requirements, choose the appropriate process to process various materials.

(1) Pipe cutting or plate cutting: the metal substrate is generally larger or longer, so it needs to be cut first to make it smaller for further processing. Commonly used gas cutting, grinding wheel cutting, laser cutting and other methods, can also be used for cutting milling and other methods.

(2) bending processing: bending plate can be bent by stamping process; But pipe bending needs to be carried out on a special machine tool, with a die wheel to bend the pipe into an arc. Bending pipe can be generally divided into two processing methods: hot bending and cold bending. Hot bending is used for pipes with thick or solid walls, but rarely for metal furniture. Bending at room temperature by cold bending, pressing and forming. Pressing methods include mechanical pressing, hydraulic pressing and manual pressing. Elbows are often used to make the skeleton structure of furniture.

(3) Punching: punching can be processed by punching, processing precision is high, high efficiency; Big eyes can be drilled with a drill and a hand drill. If grooves are used in the design, milling can be used.

(4) Welding: metal furniture parts often use gas welding and arc welding. After welding, the welding contact should be polished to make the surface smooth, so as not to affect the appearance.

(5) Surface treatment: there are many surface treatment processes of metal, which can be carried out by chemical coloring, electrolytic coloring, anodic oxidation coloring, electroplating coloring, coating coloring, heat treatment coloring, etc., which not only improves the beauty of metal furniture, but also protects the surface of metal materials from oxidation.

(6) Assembly: according to different connection methods, the metal parts are assembled into furniture with screws, bolts, rivets, etc.
