Metal stamping services produce large amounts of products and parts at a low cost. Metal stamping is a metal forming process in which flat stock sheet metal, formed from metals such as steel, aluminum, zinc, nickel, titanium, etc., is shaped into predetermined parts in a stamping press. During press operation, the slide, or ram, maintains movement to and from a motionless table called a press bed. The die, a press tool consisting of a specially designed cavity, shapes metal parts from the inserted sheet metal. The upper component of the die connects to the press slide, and the lower component connects to the press bed. A die component called the punch performs the necessary shaping operation by pushing the sheet metal through the die.
After the metal stampings are formed, they are typically subjected to one or more secondary processes. Plating increases the corrosion resistance, solderability and wearability of the part. The most common plating materials include gold, palladium, nickel and tin; metal can be pre-plated to avoid this secondary process. Cleaning removes oils and films from the metal stampings. Heat treating processes increase the strength of the product. The part is stamped in the soft state before it is hardened by heat treating in order to circumvent its tendency to crack when formed or coined. Sharp corners are removed by the deburring
process, which can be done by either abrasives or chemicals.
Stamping presses are basically machines having the space and means to activate dedicated metal forming tools with the force, speed and precision needed to produce the required part shape. Metal stamping services use two types of presses—mechanical and hydraulic, both of which are available in a wide variety of sizes, tonnage capacities, stroke lengths and operating speeds. Mechanical presses produce energy in the flywheel, which is then transferred to the crankshaft, electric shaft or eccentric gear. Gap frame and straight side presses are the two main types of mechanical presses. Gap frames are often utilized in applications where the stock is fed by hand; straight frames are ideal for progressive die and transfer die applications. In hydraulic presses, a controlled force is actuated by hydraulic pressure, which is used to move one or more rams in a preset sequence. Hydraulic
presses—which have a variety of types of frames, including C-frames,
straight sides, H-frames and four-column, among others—have the
ability to deliver full power at any point in the stroke, adjustable
tonnage with overload protection and adjustable stroke length and speed.
These presses are ideal for deep drawing, short runs, precision metal
stampings, lower-speed high-tonnage blanking with long feed lengths and
work requiring repeatable pressure rather than repeatable depth of stroke.
Metal stamping services are cost-effective because the process is able to produce material-intensive parts at production rates that are much greater than what is possible using other traditional methods. Many parts that are being designed to undergo other metal forming processes, such as casting, die casting, forging, machining or fabricating, could just as easily be designed for stamping. Metal stamping dies cost less than other tooling, like molds, forging and casting dies and expendable cutting tools, among others. The quality, accuracy, function, wear life and appearance of parts can be greatly improved by designing them to be stamped. Metal stamping allows parts to be made of tougher and harder material than other processes allow. Often the secondary processes can be reduced in number or eliminated altogether to reduce cost even further. A number of material-intensive parts can be produced as metal stampings: balance clamps, base weights, brackets, brake flanges, bushing seats, conveyor flights, engine bases, flywheel shrouds, framed hangers, friction plates, gear and sprocket blanks, lock tabs, reinforcement plates, retainers, spring seats, upright bars, wear and swivel pads, wheel or backing rings and yoke guides.

Types of Metal Stampings
Deep
drawn stampings converts flat sheet metal into three-dimensional
shapes—including cylindrical, shell-like, cup-like, rectangular and
square shapes—whose lengths (depths) exceed the radius of the part.
As the flat metal moves over the die, the metal blank is restrained
on either side of the die opening by a blankholder; the metal stampings
punch then pushes the secured blank into the die stampings cavity,
creating the desired shape.
Fourslide
stampings is a specialized metal stampings process that allows
fourslide stampings to produce complex stamped parts from strips
and wires with multiple bends and twists, as well as metal parts
requiring bends greater than 90°. Fourslide stampings work with forming,
sliding tools, regulated by cams, that glide into the metal stampings
blank from four directions at right angles to one another, bending
the metal around a vertical mandrel.
Medical
stampings are metal stampings and metal stamped parts manufactured
specifically for use in the medical industry.
Progressive
die stampings utilizes several die stampings workstations, unlike
the usual single metal stampers workstations, through which the sheet
metal sequentially moves to complete multiple operations of the die
stampings process.
Short
run stampings produces between five and ten thousand pieces,
and the cost of the dies themselves is greater than the cost of the
parts produced. Labor costs are higher per piece, materials are more
costly, setup time is greater and other cost factors are higher in
short run stamping than conventional metal stampings, because of
the greater number of metal stampers and operations involved.
Common Terms Related to Metal Stampings
Alloy – A compound consisting of more than one
metal or the combination of a metal and a nonmetal. The resulting compound
consists of properties different from those of the metal stampings components.
Annealing – The metal stampings procedure whereby a metal is
softened through heating and cooling treatments.
Base Metals – Common metal stampings consisting of inexpensive
metals, such as aluminum, zinc, lead, nickel and tin, that are easily

Blanking – The process of punching, cutting or shearing predetermined
shapes out of metal stampings stock.
Bottoming Stamp – A metal stamp or weld mark that signifies

Brazing – Metal stampings that join two metals by filling the
space between the metals with a nonferrous metal, the melting point
of which remains lower than the two metals joined together.
Burrs – Jagged edges or protuberances on the surface of metal

or other industrial applications.
Cam – A mechanism that moves or works at an angle to the metal

Insert Molding – The injection of molten plastic into the surrounding
area of metal stamping parts in order to combine the stamping parts
