Sheet Metal Stampings Using Aluminium

Custom metal stamping with any metal material.

Sheet metal stampings using aluminium.

Aluminum s oxide layer is also very abrasive and can really tear up tool steel. Not all aluminum behaves the same way. Zetwerk is iso 9001 2015 and as9100d certified. Aluminum metal stamping is a cold working process that utilizes work hardening of the material to accentuate the metal s beneficial qualities.

Metal stamping is a cold forming process that makes use of dies and stamping presses to transform sheet metal into different shapes. Precision metal stampings too. Stainless steel aluminum cold rolled steel hot rolled steel pre galvanized steel annealed steel brass copper. Keep in mind that numerous types of aluminum and aluminum alloys are used in today s stamping industry.

In addition to custom washers spacers and shims boker s has been providing quality precision metal stampings since 1919. Sheet metal stamping zetwerk provides high quality stampings produced using range of aluminum copper and steel alloys. Incremental sheet metal forming may be performed on aluminum steel titanium and or other suitable metals. We perform all necessary secondary operations on the stampings such as machining welding surface treatment etc.

Our stamping plants are iatf 16949 2016 certified. Heating up the aluminum just shy of the melting point and allowing it to cool will anneal the material. Pieces of flat sheet metal typically referred to as blanks is fed into a sheet metal stamping press that uses a tool and die surface to form the metal into a new shape. Aluminum parts that have been stamped provide greater physical strength than unworked raw aluminum material.

The sheet of material may be incrementally shaped into a shape of a part using a stylus. Some types such as the 1000 series are very ductile while others can be very hard. While it does not rust conventionally it forms a white powdery substance called aluminum oxide which is used to make grinding wheels. That means the same abrasive that you have been using to grind your tool steel die sections can be present on the aluminum sheet surface.

The sheet of material may be secured relative to a tool in an incremental sheet metal forming machine. Our state of the art facility allows us to provide precision metal stamping manufacturing with various kinds of metal including. Boker s stamping capabilities covers a complete range of sizes up to 12 x 12 flat with thickness from 005 to 190 and deep draws up to 3 deep and 8 in diameter.
