Materials Used in Automotive Metal Parts
Not sure which material is suitable for your part? Our engineers will recommend the optimal choice based on
your part’s function, required strength, weight considerations, and budget. We can also source specialized
materials if your project requires them.
We work with a variety of quality metals to meet different automotive needs. Choosing the right material is
important for achieving the strength, weight, and cost targets of your project. Common materials we use
include:
Steel (Mild and Galvanized)
Mild carbon steel is cost-effective and strong, used for many brackets and structural parts. We also offer galvanized steel (steel coated with zinc to resist rust) for parts that need extra corrosion resistance, such as body panels.
Stainless Steel
For components that demand high strength or need to withstand heat and weather (for example, exhaust parts or trim), stainless steel is a perfect choice. It’s known for its strength and durability, and it’s often used for structural parts that require high load-bearing capacity.
Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum is much lighter than steel yet still strong. Using aluminum helps reduce overall vehicle weight while maintaining structural integrity. We often use aluminum in parts like engine covers and electric vehicle sheet metal parts where saving weight is important for performance and range.
Other Metals
We can also fabricate with other metals such as copper or brass (often used in electrical components for their conductivity), depending on your needs. Our Materials page provides more details on the metals we handle and their properties.
Advanced Fabrication Processes
Whether you need laser cutting, precision CNC bending, high-volume stamping, expert welding, or a full finishing
solution, we have the ability to deliver. By handling all these steps under one roof, we ensure better quality
control and shorter production times for your automotive parts.
We use advanced sheet metal processes to cut, bend, join, and finish parts with a high degree of accuracy. These
capabilities allow us to meet the strict demands of automotive production.
Our manufacturing capabilities include:
High-powered CNC laser cutting allows us to cut complex shapes with clean edges and tight tolerances. This process is ideal for prototypes and intricate parts, as it produces minimal waste and does not warp the metal.
Using modern press brakes, we can bend and form metal sheets into precise angles and curved shapes. CNC-controlled bending ensures consistency across every part, so each one fits exactly as designed.
For high-volume production of simpler shapes (like brackets or panels), we offer stamping with custom dies. Metal stamping is very efficient for large quantities, delivering parts with consistent accuracy and durability. Each stamped piece comes out identical, which is great for maintaining quality in mass production.
We provide both manual and robotic welding (MIG, TIG, and spot welding) to join metal parts into assemblies. Our certified welders create strong, clean welds on steel, stainless, and aluminum parts. We can weld sub-components (like nuts or studs) to sheet metal pieces and assemble multi-piece units as needed, making sure everything fits together correctly.
To give your parts the required protection and appearance, we offer in-house finishing services. This includes deburring (smoothing sharp edges), sandblasting, powder coating, plating, and anodizing for corrosion resistance and appearance. See our Surface Finishing services for more on the coatings and paint finishes we can apply.
Quality is paramount in the automotive industry, where safety and reliability are extremely
important. We maintain strict quality assurance processes to deliver parts that meet international
automotive standards. We are ISO 9001 certified and follow the IATF 16949 automotive quality
management system. (IATF 16949 is a globally recognized standard for automotive manufacturing that
builds on ISO 9001.) In fact, it is a mandatory certification for suppliers working with major car
manufacturers. By following these strict standards, we make sure our processes are consistent and
our products are dependable.
Our quality control procedures include checks and tests at each stage of production. For example, we
inspect the first sample part to verify all dimensions are correct. During production, our team
takes regular measurements and uses gauges to maintain tight tolerances (accuracy) on important
features. We also provide material certifications and can do additional testing (like weld strength
tests or coating thickness checks) upon request, so you have full confidence in the parts you
receive.
Every automotive part we make goes through a final inspection before shipment. We double-check that
all hole positions, bends, welds, and finishes match your specifications and drawings. Our goal is
zero defects – and we approach that through careful planning, skilled work, and continuous
improvement. If required, we can also support PPAP documentation or other quality reports to help
with your part approval process.
By choosing us as your automotive sheet metal supplier, you gain a partner committed to quality and
compliance. We invest in employee training, keep our equipment calibrated, and stay up-to-date with
the latest industry standards. This dedication to quality ensures the parts you receive will fit and
function reliably in your vehicles.
We are proud to support a wide range of clients in the automotive sector. Our customer base includes
passenger car OEMs, commercial vehicle and truck manufacturers, new EV startups, and Tier 1
automotive suppliers. Whether you are building standard sedans, heavy-duty trucks, or the next
cutting-edge electric car, our fabrication services can be tailored to your needs.

Electric vehicles (EVs) bring new demands for lightweight and efficient components, and we are fully
equipped to support EV metal parts fabrication in China. We understand the importance of reducing
weight to improve electric driving range and managing heat in high-power electrical systems. Our
team has experience producing custom EV sheet metal parts that meet these challenges.
For example, we manufacture battery enclosures and trays for electric vehicle battery packs. These
enclosures are often made from aluminum to save weight while still providing strength and crash
protection. We ensure battery housings are built to precise dimensions so that battery modules fit
securely, and we can incorporate features like mounting brackets or cooling channels into the sheet
metal design.
We also produce electric motor mounts, inverter housings, and brackets for high-voltage components.
These parts need to be very accurate and strong to support heavy electric motors and sensitive
electronics. Our fabrication processes achieve the needed precision to make sure everything fits
together correctly, and we use robust materials that can handle the stresses and vibrations of EV
operation.
Heat management is another critical aspect for EVs. We fabricate heat shields and cooling plates
that help protect sensitive components (like batteries or power controllers) from heat. Using
thermally conductive metals and smart designs, we assist in dissipating heat away from hot spots or
shielding parts from external heat sources.
In summary, we stay at the forefront of EV manufacturing needs. We use lightweight materials and
innovative designs to help EV startups and established automakers build safer, lighter, and more
efficient electric vehicles. If you are developing an electric car or component, we can fabricate
the custom metal parts you need to make it a reality.
