Stamping is a manufacturing process in which external force is applied to materials-such as sheets, strips, tubes, and profiles-using a press and a die to induce plastic deformation or separation, thereby producing a workpiece (stamped part) with the desired shape and dimensions. The primary raw materials for stamping are hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel sheets and strips.
Based on material deformation characteristics, stamping processes can be categorized into two main types: separation processes and forming processes.
Separation Processes
Separation processes involve separating the raw material along a specific contour to produce a stamped part with the required shape, dimensions, and cross-sectional quality. Please refer to the table below for the specific classifications and characteristics of separation processes.
Forming Processes
Forming processes involve inducing plastic deformation in the raw material-without causing fracture-to produce a stamped part with the required shape and dimensions. Please refer to the table below for the specific classifications and characteristics of forming processes.
