Metal stamping parts refer to molds used for steel/non-ferrous metal plates at room temperature, which are formed into specified shapes by providing the required pressure for processing with a press machine. Compared with other methods of mechanical processing and plastic processing, stamping processing has many unique advantages in both technical and economic aspects. The main manifestations are as follows.
1. The production efficiency of metal stamping processing is high, and the operation is convenient, making it easy to achieve mechanization and automation. This is because metal stamping relies on stamping dies and stamping equipment to complete the processing. The number of strokes of a regular press can reach dozens of times per minute, while high-speed pressure can reach hundreds or even thousands of times per minute, and each stamping stroke may result in a stamped part.
2. During metal stamping, because the die ensures the size and shape accuracy of the metal stamping parts, and generally does not damage the surface quality of the stamping parts, and the life of the die is generally long, the quality of metal stamping is stable, the interchangeability is good, and it has the characteristics of "identical".
3. Metal stamping can process parts with a large size range and complex shapes, such as small stopwatches for clocks, large car longitudinal beams, covers, etc. In addition, the cold deformation hardening effect of materials during metal stamping results in high strength and stiffness of metal stamping.
4. Metal stamping generally does not generate chips or debris, consumes less material, and does not require other heating equipment, making it a material saving and energy-saving processing method. The cost of metal stamping parts is relatively low.
