Roll sheet metal aluminum sheet stamping

The metal stamping process transforms by stamping hot or cold rolled steel into the shape you need to fabricate the parts. This technique allows large numbers of components to be produced simultaneously, but it can also result in around 15% of the raw material becoming scrap. When stamping with sheet metal, there are three main types of dies used - cutting, punching and bending.

Cutting involves cutting a part from a metal plate. This is done by striking the metal plate with a die, which cuts it into the desired shape. The edges of punching parts will have burr, so they need to be filed or machined before use.

Punching is the process of making a hole in a metal plate by placing it between two punch dies and forcing them

Bending is the use of mold pressure to deform metal. This type of stamping is often used to create curved parts.

advantages

Low cost

Sheet Metal Stamping is a low - cost manufacturing technology. It typically costs less than other methods, better cost saving. Since this method does not require molds or tools to create parts or components, many believe it is also less costly

Mass production

Sheet metal stamping can make thousands of identical parts at a time, so this type of manufacturing allows you to efficiently make a large number of products while maintaining quality standards. This benefit applies for the less design change and small quantity

Easy to use

Shears, presses, and bending dies make up most of the tools used for sheet metal stamping, so this type of manufacturing is relatively easy to learn.

multi-function

Sheet metal stamping is a very versatile manufacturing technique that enables the creation of parts of various shapes and sizes. This makes it a good choice for businesses that need mass production. In addition, this type of stamping can create both simple and complex parts.

disadvantages

Scrap rate

Sheet metal stamping has an inherently high reject rate. In order to work properly, the stamping die needs a flat, smooth surface of the metal plate. If the sheet is uneven, the effect will be poor and the metal must be scrapped.

Not easy to customize

Sheet metal stamping works best for straightforward machine parts that require little customization. Simple shapes and curves make manufacturing easy and cheap. However, you may have to pay more when using this technique on custom projects or highly detailed parts, due to design fees and additional labor costs needed to complete the project.

Limited design and size choices

Sheet metal stamping is the best choice for making simple parts, but if you need amore complex or detailed part, it may not be the best manufacturing choice. Stamping parts used in sheet metal stamping cannot easily create tight curves or intricate details, so if your part design is complex, you may have to find other methods.

If you need many parts quickly and cheaply, then sheet metal stamping is the better choice
