| Metal stamping is the process of cutting
| |
| | processes like piercing, blanking,
|
| and shaping metal alloys into specific

| | forming and drawing on the same machines.

| forms, especially to be used as
| |
| | Stamping presses have specific force,
|
| components for large machinery or
| |
| | speed and precision for giving a specific
|
| structures. Metal sheets can be molded
| |
| | shape to the metal. There are two types
|
| into different pre-determined shapes for
| |
| | of metal stamping presses: Mechanical and
|
| use as regular products like pans and
| |
| | hydraulic. These are available in an
|
| cans. The most common alloys that are
| |
| | extensive range of capacities, sizes,
|
| used in metal stamping are steel, zinc,
| |
| | stroke lengths and operating speeds.
|
| nickel, aluminum and titanium. Metal

| | Metal stamping is slowly replacing other
|
| stamping is a very cost-effective and
| |
| | metal forming processes like die casting,
|
| productive way of producing many kinds of
| |
| | forging, fabricating and machining. One
|
| metal products on a large scale.
| |
| | reason for this is the very low costs
|
| In metal stamping, the metal sheets are
| |
| | involved in metal stamping. The dies used
|
| placed in a die or a press tool that has
| |
| | for metal stamping cost less than those

| a specially designed cavity that gives
| |
| | used in forging and casting. Also, the
|
| the preferred shape to the metal sheet.
| |
| | metals used in metal stamping can be

| The upper part of the die connects to the
| |
| | harder than those used in other
|
| press slide while the lower component

| | processes, thus making the end product

| connects to the press bed. A specific

| performing the actual shaping operation.
| |
| | Moreover, there are certain products that

| After pressing, the metal is plated with

| | shrouds and friction plates. There are

| Sometimes, the sheet is also pre-plated

| | also different kinds of metal stamping

| before the stamping process, and then the

| | electronic stamping, Fourslide stamping,

| | medical stamping, progressive die
|
| then heat treated to make it stronger
| |
| | stamping and short run stamping. The most

| since it is still in the soft state after
| |
| | commonly used type is the progressive die
|
| stamping. The product is then subjected

| | drawing wherein a metal sheet is drawn
|
| to the deburring process for removing the

| sharp corners. This is done by using
