Metal Stamping Guide: Blanking, Bending and Progressive Dies

Metal Stamping Guide: Blanking, Bending and Progressive Dies

Short answer: Stamping turns coil and sheet into parts by blanking and piercing to cut, bending and deep drawing to form, and progressive dies to run high volume; the alloy, temper and die design decide cost, tolerance and edge quality.

Processes and Dies

Blanking cuts, bending forms, deep drawing shells the part; the stock is in our Galvanized Steel Sheet, Aluminum Supplier ve Stainless Steel Supplier, profiles in our Extrusion Profiles Guide and the alloy base in our Alüminyum Alaşım Nedir.

Material and Formability

Softer tempers and certain alloys form better with less springback; the data is in our Güç Karşılaştırması, the treatment in our Heat Treatment Guide and coated options in our PPGI PPGL Coated Steel.

Tooling and Tolerance

Progressive dies cut cost at volume and tolerances follow our Tolerances Guide; the tooling grades are in our Tool Steel Types Guide, fatigue in our Fatigue Guide and proof in our Mill Test Certificate Guide.

Finishing and Cost

Parts are deburred, plated or pre-painted; the options are in our Surface Treatment Guide, anodizing in our Anodized Aluminum Guide and packing in our Export Packing Guide.

Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

What is a progressive die?

A die that performs several cuts and bends in one pass for volume.

Which metal stamps best?

Low-carbon steel, aluminum and some stainless form cleanly.

Does stamping leave burrs?

Edges may need deburring; fine blanking gives burr-free parts.

Is deep drawing hard on material?

It needs ductile tempers; the right grade avoids cracking.

How accurate is stamped output?

Tight, repeatable tolerances per our metal tolerances guide.
