1. Plating: The process of coating a surface with a metal film by electrolysis. Plating is usually used to improve the appearance or corrosion resistance of the surface. It is also used for electrical conductivity.
2. Milling: A machining process that involves using a rotating cutting tool to remove material from a workpiece. Milling can be used to create complex shapes, as well as to produce parts with precise dimensions and tolerances.
3. Turning: A manufacturing process in which a rotating cutting tool (usually a lathe) is used to remove material from a workpiece. Turning is used to produce cylindrical parts such as shafts, pins and rods.
4. Stamping: The process of forming and cutting metal parts by using a stamping press. This is a very efficient process, and is often used to mass-produce parts for automobiles, electronics, appliances and other industries.
5. Welding: An important process for joining metals together. This process can be done manually or with a machine, and is often used in the fabrication of structural components or piping systems.
