Stamping processing is a method of metal cold deformation processing. Stamping elbow is a production technology that utilizes the power of conventional or stamping equipment to directly deform the sheet metal in the mold, thereby obtaining the shape, size, and function of product parts. Sheet metal, molds, and equipment are the three essential elements of stamping processing. So, it is called cold stamping or sheet metal stamping, abbreviated as stamping. It is one of the main methods of metal plastic processing and also belongs to material forming engineering technology.
Compared with other methods of mechanical and plastic processing, stamping has many advantages in both technical and economic aspects. The main manifestations are as follows.
(1) Stamping generally does not have chips or broken materials, consumes less material, and does not require other heating equipment, making it a material saving and energy-saving processing method with lower costs for stamped parts.
(2) During stamping, because the mold determines the size and shape accuracy of the stamped parts, and generally does not damage the surface quality of the stamped parts, and the lifespan of the mold is generally long, the quality of stamping is not chaotic, the interchangeability is good, and it has the advantages of; Same" The characteristics.
(3) The production of stamping processing is convenient to operate and easy to achieve mechanization and automation. This is because stamping relies on stamping dies and stamping equipment to complete the processing. The number of strokes of a regular press can reach dozens of times per minute, while high-speed pressure can reach hundreds or even thousands of times per minute, and each stamping stroke may result in one stamping part.
(4) Stamping can process parts with a wide range of sizes and complex shapes, such as small stopwatches for clocks, large car longitudinal beams, cage covers, etc. Combined with the cold deformation hardening effect of materials during stamping, the strength and stiffness of stamping are relatively high.
