4 Benefits Of Creating Textured Sheet Metal By Embossing

July 14, 2022

Textured sheet metal is a special type of metal with a distressed or raised surface. Used for both aesthetic and utilitarian purposes, there are multiple ways to texture metal sheets, such as hammering, burring, embossing, stamping and more. Out of the myriad techniques, embossing in particular shows promises, as it offers multiple benefits. 4 such merits of embossing a sheet metal will be examined down below.

 

Merits of embossing sheet metal.

 

Improved Formability

 

When sheet metal is textured using embossing techniques, it creates raised, three-dimensional features on the surface. This extrusion along a third axis offers more flexibility and formability to the sheet metal. This behavior can be particularly observed in aluminum and other metal of similar gauges. Thus, textured aluminum sheets, created by embossing, increase their overall surface area and volume.

 

Improved Stiffness

 

In cases where a metal is used as a heat shield, embossing offers multiple benefits. The sheet metal created by this process is rigid. Thus, a thinner gauge of the material can be used for heat shielding applications as it is durable. Therefore, manufacturers can opt for thinner gauge metals and materials, reducing the overall weight of the heat shield.

 

Powerful Acoustic Insulation

 

For many applications, it is vital to reduce ambient noise, vibration and harshness, which is made possible using embossed sheets. The three-dimensional surface of the textured metal makes it easier to absorb and dissipate sound and vibrations, offering superior acoustic insulation.

 

Improves Appearance

 

Lastly, an embossed sheet metal offers protection from small external forces such as dents, scratches and even chalking, a phenomenon where a white residue is deposited on the surface of the metal due to exposure to sunlight. Therefore, embossing helps maintain the aesthetic quality of the sheet metal, warranting fewer inspections.
