Sheet Metal Hot Stamping Process

The hot stamping process takes lightweight material hardeneds and strengthens it to form needed shaped parts.

Sheet metal hot stamping process. The process converts low tensile strength metal to a very high strength steel 150 to 200 kilopounds per square inch ksi. The result is a high strength lightweight steel part. The metal boron steel is heated to over 1700 degrees fahrenheit and quenched in the die itself. Metal stamping is a cold forming process that makes use of dies and stamping presses to transform sheet metal into different shapes.

Hot metal stamping is the process of forming metal using extreme heat. Stamping also known as pressing is the process of placing flat sheet metal in either blank or coil form into a stamping press where a tool and die surface forms the metal into a net shape. Hot stamping metal forming metal stamping is mostly used in the automotive industry to form pieces of steel or aluminum into car components parts. Hot stamping also called hot forming or press hardening is the process of forming metal while it is very hot in excess of 900 c degrees and then quenching it cooling it quickly in the die.

Metal stamping or stamping is the manufacturing technique used for the transformation of metal sheet where the piece is subjected to a compression load between two moulds this load is applied through hydraulic or mechanical presses that provide a great capacity and versatility to apply the most efficient and productive processes depending on the requirements of each project. Stamping includes a variety of sheet metal forming manufacturing processes such as punching using a machine press or stamping press blanking embossing bending flanging and coining. Hot stamping allows us to press complex parts with high tensile strength creating a form in a single lightweight piece a growing requirement in automotive and aerospace applications. Because these of this alignment features are absolutely essential to a create a robust stamping process and restrain the sheet metal feed stock in the same position every time.
