Stamping (metalworking)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stamping is a metalworking process by which sheet metal strips are punched using a press tool which is loaded on a machine press or stamping press to form the sheet into a desired shape. This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produce the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages.
The most common stamping operations are:
- Piercing
- Fine blanking
- Bending
- Forming
- Coining
- progressive stamping
- Deep Drawing
- Embossing
- Extrusion
