Bending & Press Work in Iron, Brass and Aluminium
Bending and press work are industrial forming processes used to create strong, lightweight, and functional metal components from wire or sheet metal. This method is ideal for hardware that requires structural resistance, precise geometry, and high repeatability—often at a lower tooling cost than casting.
Iron, brass wire, and aluminium sheets are commonly used for fashion and accessories hardware,e such as buckles, rings, D-rings, snap hooks, clips, and technical components. Parts can be bent, pressed, welded, assembled, and later finished with galvanic treatments according to the required aesthetic and performance.
This FAQ section explains materials, use cases, technical limits, branding options, and what information is needed to quote and produce bent or pressed components.
Bending and press work are often chosen when strength, simplicity, and cost-efficiency are priorities over complex decorative shapes.
OHÝBÁNÍ ŽELEZA, MOSAZU A HLINÍKU / LISOVACÍ PRÁCE — FAQ
What is Iron, and why is it used for fashion hardware?
Iron is a strong and durable metal commonly used for components that require structure and resistance. It is ideal for shaping, bending, welding, and press work, making it a reliable choice for functional parts.
Why is it used:
- ✔ Excellent strength for everyday use
- ✔ Ideal for bending, welding, and press machinery
- ✔ Suitable for large production runs at competitive cost
- ✔ Can be galvanised, painted, or nickel/gold plated
Common applications in fashion & leather goods:
- Belt frames and buckles (with iron prongs/“tongues”)
- D-rings, O-rings, and rectangle rings
- Pet hardware (strong load-bearing parts)
- Functional components for bags, saddlery & luggage
When iron is recommended:
When strength, durability, and price balance are important.
What is Brass Wire, and why is it used for accessories?
Brass wire is a copper-based alloy used for more refined and decorative components. It offers excellent workability, good strength, and a high-end finish, making it popular in fashion and jewellery applications.
Why is brass wire used:
- ✔ Luxury appearance with natural golden tone
- ✔ Ideal for bending, shaping & welding decorative forms
- ✔ Suitable for premium products & jewellery components
- ✔ Can be polished, satin finished, or professionally plated
Common applications:
- Buckles, rings, and chain links
- Jewellery elements & ornaments
- Hardware for high-end bags, belts & shoes
- Components requiring visible, elegant detailing
When brass is recommended:
For premium, luxury, or jewellery-grade accessories where appearance matters.
What is Aluminum Sheet, and where is it used?
Aluminium sheet is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal used for components that require volume but low weight. It is easy to cut, shape, and form, making it suitable for modern or minimalist designs.
Why is it used?
- ✔ Very lightweight — ideal when weight reduction matters
- ✔ Doesn’t rust and has natural corrosion resistance
- ✔ Can be anodised or coated for colour finishes
- ✔ Cost-effective for medium/large production runs
Common applications:
- Bag frames & sliders
- Light buckles and branding plates
- Fashion accessories for sportswear or technical bags
- Items where weight reduction is essential
When aluminium is recommended:
When the product needs durability without heaviness — travel gear, sports accessories, modern minimalist hardware.
Kdy je ohýbání/lisování lepší než odlévání?
Když potřebujete maximální pevnost, tloušťku a konstrukční výkon-zejména pro díly, kde detaily povrchu jsou méně důležité než trvanlivost.
Svařujete železné a ocelové díly?
Ano. Umíme svařovat komponenty (kroužky, rámečky, jezdce atd.). Doporučují se svařované díly pro postroje, sedlářské a těžké aplikace.
Které materiály můžete ohýbat nebo lisovat?
Pracujeme s železo, ocel, hliník a mosaz, vybrané na základě požadavky na zatížení, tvara dokončení očekávání.
Lze ohýbané/lisované součásti pokovovat?
Ano. Můžeme dodat díly připravené pro galvanické dokončování (pokovování), v závislosti na požadované povrchové úpravě.
Co potřebujete k uvedení ohýbaných nebo lisovaných dílů?
Pro rychlou cenovou nabídku zašlete:
- Materiál a tloušťka
- Vnitřní a vnější rozměry (nebo výkres)
- Požadavky na zatížení/pevnost (pokud je to relevantní)
- množství
- Cílový závěr (surové / pokovené atd.)
Můžete přidat branding (logo/gravírování)?
Ano. Můžeme přidat loga a přizpůsobení značky, včetně an gravírované logo, v závislosti na geometrie a tloušťky části.
