Aluminum sheet stamping
Different methods involved in the aluminum metal stamping process include:
- Blanking: Blanking is the process of using a die to cut workpieces out of an aluminum sheet metal piece. The process creates clean blanks that can be subjected to further processing using a stamping press or other machinery types.
- Piercing: Piercing implements a punch and die to create notches, slots, or holes into the part. Piercing produces tight tolerances that create cleaner cuts than drilling and is more efficient than laser cutting
- Drawing: This process uses tensile force to shape components into desired shapes and thicknesses. This is done by slowly stretching the blanks over a die to manipulate them into a new shape. It is commonly used to create electronic components.
- Forming: Forming is a universal term referring to the techniques and processes used to shape or form blanks.
