Advantages of Stamping
Stock components do not often align with the rest of your products. To ensure compatibility, you should customize the fabrication of the parts. In doing so, you ensure the parts meet the size and shape your project requires. When working with us at Standard Die, you can choose from many metals and customization options to ensure the fabricated parts are compatible with the components they need to work with.
Customized parts come with the benefit of working with design and engineering teams throughout the process. With their expertise, your products meet the cost and manufacturability requirements you set forth. Plus, you can rely on the parts’ performance during use because you know they meet your standards.
Part reliability stems from the assurance of the accuracy of its creation. Professional customization services that meet your needs include adhering to the tolerances you set forth. Even when using the parts in proprietary situations, such as robotics applications or medical devices, that require reliable function based on accurately formed parts, you can know the customized parts will perform as expected.
Durability is essential for many industries. For instance, aerospace applications require components that fit together and work in harsh environments of temperature and moisture extremes. Customization allows you to select the most durable materials for the purpose of the part. Choosing materials for the part fabrication to withstand intended conditions is another way that customization excels over using standard parts.
With standard parts, you may only have options to add holes or choose the finish. When you customize components for metal stamping, you have the ability to tailor every aspect of the creation, and you are not alone during the process. At Standard Die, we assist you throughout the customization of your parts. Our services include assisting with design, choosing materials, identifying finishes and more. We have more than five decades of expertise backing up our suggestions and production.
Unlike standard parts that have ownership by their manufacturer, you gain the proprietary rights to your parts. When you have a die crafted for your parts by Standard Die, we only use it for your part metal stampings.
With full ownership of the customized parts and their designs, you can avoid problems with competitors trying to recreate your products by using the same metal-stamped parts. They must customize their own dies for creating their metal parts. They cannot use your die for production because you own the rights to the design.
Stamping (also known as pressing) is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining.[1] This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages. The process is usually carried out on sheet metal, but can also be used on other materials, such as polystyrene. Progressive dies are commonly fed from a coil of steel, coil reel for unwinding of coil to a straightener to level the coil and then into a feeder which advances the material into the press and die at a predetermined feed length. Depending on part complexity, the number of stations in the die can be determined.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Materials for Metal Stamping
When selecting a material for metal stamping, it is important to consider the specific properties required for the final product. For example, durability, formability, thickness, hardness, and corrosion resistance should be considered. These qualities are explained in greater detail below.
Durability
Durability refers to the material's ability to withstand wear and tear, fatigue, and other forms of stress. The level of durability required will depend on the intended application of the final product. For example, a product exposed to heavy use or harsh environments will require a more durable material.
Formability
Formability refers to the material's ability to be formed into different shapes without cracking or breaking. The level of formability required will depend on the complexity of the part to be stamped and the type of stamping process to be used.
Thickness
The thickness of the material will affect its strength, formability, and cost. Thicker materials are stronger but less formable, while thinner materials are more formable but less durable.
Hardness
Hardness refers to the material's resistance to deformation, scratching, or abrasion. The hardness required will depend on the intended application of the final product. For example, a product subject to high levels of wear and tear will require a harder material.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion resistance refers to the material's ability to resist degradation due to exposure to moisture, chemicals, or other corrosive substances. The level of corrosion resistance required will depend on the final product's intended application and the environment it will be exposed to.
When selecting a material for metal stamping, it is important to consider all of these factors and determine the optimal combination for the specific application. For example, a product used in a corrosive environment may require a material with high corrosion resistance but may sacrifice some formability or durability. On the other hand, a product that requires intricate stamping may require a more formable material but may sacrifice some durability or hardness.
How to Choose the Proper Materials for Metal Stamping
Choosing the proper material for metal stamping requires carefully evaluating several key factors. Here are the main steps to follow:
The first step is to determine the intended use of the final product. This will help identify the environmental conditions, load requirements, and other factors affecting the material's selection. For example, materials with high-temperature resistance may be required if the product is used in a high-temperature environment.
Once the end-use application is established, the next step is identifying the required material characteristics. This includes strength, formability, corrosion resistance, and hardness. These characteristics will depend on the specific requirements of the end-use application.
Cost is always a factor when choosing a material for metal stamping. For example, materials with high strength, formability, or corrosion resistance may be more expensive than those with lower performance characteristics. Therefore, balancing the cost with the required material characteristics is important to ensure the final product is effective and cost-effective.
The final step is to evaluate the fabrication process used to stamp the material. Different stamping processes require different material characteristics, so it is important to consider the specific process used. For example, if the stamping process involves deep drawing or other complex forming operations, materials with high formability may be required.
