Sheet metal stamping, as an important metal processing technology, applies external force to a metal sheet through a mold to achieve rapid changes in its shape and size. The purpose of this brochure is to introduce in detail the principles, processes, advantages and application areas of sheet metal stamping, and to help you gain a comprehensive understanding of this highly efficient and precise metal forming technology.
1.Overview of Sheet Metal Stamping
Sheet metal stamping is the cold or hot stamping of sheet metal using a mold, which forms parts or assemblies of the desired shape and size through plastic deformation. This technology is widely used in automotive, aerospace, electronics, home appliances and many other fields, and is one of the key technologies to realize the mass production of metal parts.
2. Sheet metal stamping process
Mold design: According to the shape, size and accuracy requirements of the parts, design the stamping mold, including convex die, concave die, crimping ring and other key components.
Plate preparation: choose suitable metal plates, such as steel plate, aluminum plate, copper plate, etc., and carry out the necessary pretreatment, such as cutting, cleaning, oiling, etc..
Stamping process: the sheet is placed in the mold, and through the pressure effect of the stamping machine, the sheet is plastically deformed to form the required shape.
Subsequent processing: Subsequent processing such as deburring, leveling, surface treatment, etc. are carried out on the stamped parts to improve their quality and aesthetics.
3. Advantages of sheet metal stamping
Efficient production: sheet metal stamping can realize rapid and mass production of parts and improve production efficiency.
High precision: through accurate mold design and manufacturing, it ensures that the stamped parts have high dimensional and shape precision.
High material utilization rate: During the stamping process, the utilization rate of sheet metal is high, which reduces material waste.
Low cost: compared with casting, forging and other processes, the cost of sheet metal stamping is lower and suitable for mass production.
Strong adaptability: sheet metal stamping is suitable for the production of a variety of metal materials and complex shaped parts, with strong adaptability.
4. Application fields of plate stamping
Automobile manufacturing: a large number of stamping parts for automobile body, chassis, engine and other parts, such as doors, roofs, hoods and so on.
Aerospace: stamping parts of key components such as aircraft skin, wing beam, landing gear, etc., which require high strength, light weight and high precision.
Electronic and electrical appliances: shells, brackets, connectors and other parts of electronic products, requiring good conductivity, corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
Home Appliance Manufacturing: Shells, liners and other parts of home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc., requiring good molding and durability.
5. Quality control of sheet metal stamping
Mold Maintenance: Regularly clean, lubricate and inspect the mold to ensure its precision and life.
Plate selection: Select the appropriate metal plate according to the requirements of the parts to ensure its performance and quality.
Stamping parameter optimization: optimize the stamping process and improve the quality of the parts by adjusting the pressure, speed, stroke and other parameters of the stamping machine.
Quality inspection: inspect the stamped parts in terms of size, shape, surface quality, etc. to ensure that they meet the design requirements.
