The metal blanks for stamping primarily include hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel plates and strips.
These materials are widely used in the manufacturing of various products, such as car bodies, chassis, fuel tanks, radiator fins, boiler steam drums, container shells, and the iron cores of motors and electrical appliances, as well as silicon steel sheets.
Common Types of Metal Blanks for Stamping
Hot-rolled steel plate:
Steel plate produced through the hot-rolling process, which has higher strength and hardness, making it suitable for parts that need to bear heavy loads.
Cold-rolled steel plate:
Steel plate produced through the cold-rolling process, with a smooth surface and uniform thickness, suitable for parts requiring high surface quality and dimensional precision.
Galvanized steel plate:
Steel plate coated with a layer of zinc, offering good corrosion resistance, commonly used for outdoor exposed parts.
Stainless steel plate:
Known for excellent corrosion resistance, it is used for parts that require high material performance.
Aluminum alloy plate:
Low density, high strength, suitable for parts that require weight reduction.
Application Fields of Stamping Technology Stamping technology is widely applied in industries such as automotive, electronics, instruments, home appliances, bicycles, office machinery, and household utensils. For instance, car bodies, chassis, fuel tanks, and other components are made through stamping processes.
Selection of Materials for Stamping Dies The materials used for manufacturing stamping dies mainly include steel, cemented carbide, steel-cemented carbide, zinc-based alloys, low-melting-point alloys, aluminum bronze, and polymer materials. Commonly used materials for die working parts include carbon tool steel, low-alloy tool steel, high-carbon high-chromium or medium-chromium tool steel, medium-carbon alloy steel, and high-speed steel.
In summary, the metal blanks mentioned above are the mainstream materials used for industrial stamping, covering all current industrial sectors.
