Both soft and hard dies for stamping parts are commonly used in stamping processes and have corresponding applications in the manufacture of stamping parts or stamping parts.
Soft dies for stamping parts refer to a type of stamping die whose tool steel hardness is lower than 45HRC. It is mainly used to produce large or complex stamping parts, and the surface requirements of the parts are not high or can be ground.
Hard dies for stamping parts refer to a type of stamping die whose tool steel hardness is higher than 45HRC. It is mainly used to produce small or precise stamping parts, and the surface accuracy and dimensional stability of the parts are relatively high.
Characteristics of soft and hard dies for stamping parts
1. Characteristics of soft dies for stamping parts
Soft material: The tool steel hardness of soft dies for stamping parts is lower than 45HRC, and the material is relatively soft and easier to process.
Low price: The processing technology of soft dies for stamping parts is relatively simple, and the production cost is low.
Wide range of applications: It is suitable for the production of large or complex stamping parts, and can also be used to produce stamping parts with low surface requirements.
2. Characteristics of stamping parts hard mold
Hard material: The hardness of the tool steel of stamping parts hard mold is higher than 45HRC, the material is relatively hard and more wear-resistant.
High price: The production of stamping parts hard mold requires more complex processing technology and the production cost is higher.
Narrow scope of application: It is suitable for the production of small or precision stamping parts, and is used when the surface accuracy and dimensional stability of the parts are relatively high.
Scope of application of soft molds and hard molds for stamping parts
According to the above characteristics, the scope of application of soft molds and hard molds for stamping parts in the production process is also different.
Stamping parts soft molds are widely used in the production of large, complex stamping parts or stamping parts with low surface requirements. The material is relatively soft, easier to process, and the production cost is relatively low.
Stamping parts hard molds are more widely used in the production of small, precision stamping parts and when the surface accuracy and dimensional stability of the parts are relatively high. The material is relatively hard and more wear-resistant, but the production cost is high.
Of course, the soft mold and hard mold of stamping parts each have their own application occasions in the stamping process. When choosing a specific mold form, it is necessary to make a reasonable choice according to the actual production needs to achieve the best production effect. If you choose a sheet metal service provider to solve the problem of customized sheet metal parts for you, then the service provider will generally inform you which stamping process is needed for this sheet metal customized part before production, so don’t worry about it. Responsible metal parts manufacturers will do this. Of course, if you need to customize metal parts in large quantities. You can choose Mulan Group for cooperation.
