As the new generation graduates, young consumers have become the main force in office furniture consumption, paying more attention to factors such as practicality, design, and space-saving. Modern steel office furniture is not only simple and beautiful in design, but also significantly improved in practicality.

Many consumers today have experienced this: due to the different spatial designs of offices and residences, problems such as incorrect dimensions and insufficient functionality often arise when purchasing furniture, affecting the overall aesthetics of both the office and living environments. Therefore, meeting the diverse usage requirements of each household without creating a cramped feeling in either the office or home has become a challenge for furniture designers and manufacturers.

As the main force in furniture consumption, young consumers pay more attention to the soft value of furniture, such as appearance design, space saving, and strong matching, and demand more functions in their living spaces within limited areas. Steel office furniture has emerged to meet this market demand. Ordinary panel furniture is easily damaged and deformed, is not environmentally friendly, inconvenient to disassemble and repair, and cannot be easily designed or adjusted. Steel office furniture, on the other hand, overcomes these shortcomings, not only being more aesthetically pleasing but also possessing the qualities of sturdiness, durability, and environmental friendliness. Furthermore, steel furniture has the characteristics of unlimited extension and reconfiguration, making it easy to disassemble and repair, and greatly enhancing the product's lifespan and reusability.

(I) Introduction to Metal Filing Cabinets: Metal filing cabinets are made of cold-rolled steel sheets through a complete and precise manufacturing process. They are mainly used for storing documents, materials, and various archival items. Huadu Times metal cabinets can be categorized as: filing cabinets, archive cabinets, wardrobes, shoe cabinets, and various other storage cabinets.

(II) Steel Filing Cabinet Manufacturing Process: Raw material selection → Inspection → Blanking → Stamping → Bending → Punching → Welding into finished product → Inspection → Qualified product → Hot water wash (pre-degreasing) → Degreasing → Water wash → Hydrochloric acid rust removal → Water wash → Water wash → Neutralization → Water wash → Surface adjustment → Water wash → Phosphating coating → Pure water wash → Powder coating → High temperature curing → Comprehensive inspection → Qualified product → Warehousing → Shipment

(III) Main tools for manufacturing sheet metal filing cabinets: shearing machine, bending machine, stamping machine, acid and alkali tank, welding machine, electrostatic powder coating machine; raw materials: cold rolled plate, electrostatic powder coating powder; auxiliary parts: keys, door handles, door hinges, movable feet.

(IV) Production Process 1. Design: Design dimensions according to customer requirements. 2. Cutting: Cut cold-rolled steel sheets to the required dimensions using a shearing machine. 3. Stamping: Stamp corner edges and handles, etc. 4. Folding: Fold inner and outer edges using a folding machine. 5. Spot Welding: Spot welding for reinforcement. This includes spot welding and additional welding. 6. Pickling and Phosphating: Primarily for degreasing and rust removal. 7. Powder Coating: Semi-finished products undergo electrostatic powder coating in the electrical box. 8. Assembly: Assemble doors and keys, etc. 9. Finished Product: Packaging the finished product.
