Sheet Metal Fabrication with Sochain
Sheet metal fabrication is a versatile subtractive manufacturing process used to produce durable, high-precision parts from flat metal sheets. It’s widely preferred for components like housings, enclosures, brackets, and structural frames.
Our factory offers rapid and reliable sheet metal fabrication services, transforming your 3D CAD models or technical drawings into functional parts. We work with a wide selection of metals—including aluminum, stainless steel, mild steel, and copper—and provide additional services such as welding, surface treatments, and PEM insert installation. We deliver anything from quick-turn prototypes to large-scale production orders. We offer competitive pricing on small batches and greater cost efficiency on volume runs, with shipping and basic tariffs included in prototype quotes.

Sheet Metal Forming Explain
Flat sheet stock is sourced and cut before being shaped into its final form through multiple precision steps. In our typical sheet metal workflow, we begin with blanking—using laser cutting, punching, or waterjet cutting to create detailed internal features and outer profiles.
After blanking, the material is transferred to a press brake station—either manual or CNC-controlled—where die inserts apply precise bends to form the sheet into its required three-dimensional shape. Our forming capabilities support everything from basic brackets to complex geometries requiring custom tooling. Once tooling is set, we offer cost-efficient production for both small batches and large-volume runs, making our sheet metal services ideal for any scale of manufacturing.

Available Sheet Metal Finishes
Only essential post-processing is performed to ensure part functionality and dimensional accuracy.
The surface of the component is finished with a uniform, non-glossy matte texture for a clean and professional look.
Type II (MIL-A-8625/MIL-PRF-8625, Type II) provides a durable, corrosion-resistant coating, ideal for aluminum components. We offer a variety of anodized color options such as clear, black, red, and gold. For enhanced wear resistance, Type III (MIL-A-8625, Type III, Class 1/2 "hardcoat") delivers a thicker, more protective anodized layer while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance.
This sheet metal treatment offers excellent corrosion protection while maintaining good electrical conductivity. It serves well as a paint base and typically results in a gold or yellowish surface. The coating adds minimal thickness—around 0.00001” to 0.00004”. Our chem film finish meets MIL-DTL-5541, TYPE I/II standards.
This is a sheet metal finishing technique where electrostatically applied powder is cured in an oven to form a tough, corrosion- and wear-resistant coating. It offers superior durability compared to traditional liquid painting. A broad selection of colors is available to achieve the desired visual effect. Explore our range of finishes in our powder coating gallery.
A precision sheet metal finishing process that applies a uniform electroless nickel coating to enhance resistance against corrosion, wear, and oxidation—even on complex geometries. This treatment results in a brighter appearance and typically starts at a thickness of 0.0001", conforming to MIL-C-26074 standards.
Gold plating ensures outstanding resistance to corrosion and tarnishing while offering superior solderability. Our standard process follows MIL-G-45204 and ASTM B488 specifications, CLASS 00, 0, or 1, with plating thickness ranging from 0.00002" to 0.00005".
Silver plating provides excellent electrical conductivity and solderability, making it ideal for electronic applications. While prone to tarnishing, it conforms to AMS QQ-S-365D standards with a typical thickness ranging from 0.00002” to 0.0003”.
