The Hidden Role of Sheet Metal Quality in Hinge Precision

Because every micron matters.

In a hinge, every sheet metal component is in constant motion — sliding, rotating, and interacting with other parts thousands of times during its lifetime.
 With such tight tolerances, even the smallest variation in material thickness, hardness, or surface quality can directly affect the hinge’s performance and lifespan.

That’s why at Atasan, we see sheet metal not as a raw material, but as a precision component in itself.
Each hinge design requires a specific balance between strength, ductility, and formability — and the right sheet metal ensures this balance is maintained through stamping, forming, and assembly.

Over the years, we have developed strong partnerships with select steel suppliers who understand the exacting requirements of our hinges.
 Through continuous collaboration, these suppliers have built deep know-how on the materials best suited for Atasan products — from grain structure to coating compatibility.

This material expertise allows us to achieve:

  • Consistent forming behavior during stamping,
  • Stable tolerances across high-volume production, and
  • Smooth, wear-resistant surfaces that ensure long-term mechanical reliability.

Precision starts long before the hinge is assembled — it begins with the right sheet metal.

Atasan’s commitment to precision manufacturing means mastering not just the process, but the material itself.
