Stamping processing refers to the production technique wherein sheet metal undergoes deformation directly within a die under the force exerted by conventional or specialized stamping equipment during the stamping process.
This results in obtaining product components with certain shapes, dimensions, and properties.
It can be roughly divided into two categories: separation processes and forming processes (further divided into bending, deep drawing, and shaping).
Separation processes involve separating the stamped part from the blank along a certain contour line during the stamping process, while ensuring that the quality of the separated section of the stamped part meets certain requirements.
Forming process is a method to induce plastic deformation of stamped blanks without damaging them and transform them into the required final shape, while also meeting dimensional tolerances and other requirements.
There are two methods of stamping: cold stamping and hot stamping, depending on the temperature conditions during the stamping process.
This choice depends on factors such as material strength, ductility, thickness, degree of deformation, equipment capabilities, as well as considering the material's initial heat treatment state and final usage conditions.
