Aluminum Stamping Parts

Most press shops have equipment for forming steel, and most of these machines are suitable for aluminum. The mold design rules that are mainly formulated for steel must be modified to form aluminum alloys. The key variables encountered by aluminum stampings are the formability of the aluminum blank, the geometry of the part, and the settings of tools and presses, including lubrication and precise control of the pressure of the blank support

Advantages of aluminum stamping parts

The advantages of using aluminum in stamping products include ductility. Aluminum has a low melting point, so it can be flexibly formed in the entire product design, so it is very suitable for power storage, beverage containers, batteries, consumer electronics, pharmaceuticals and decoration industries.

Aluminum is commonly used in solar technology and similar applications, and reflects light and heat. Aluminum stamping products are also used in the aerospace, industrial, marine, medical, construction, automotive, lighting and electronics industries. Aluminum can be recycled without deterioration, making it highly sustainable. It has anti-corrosion properties because it generates a natural oxide coating, and is resistant to moisture and most chemicals.

Aluminum is also very light and strong. With its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, it is vital to the automotive and aerospace industries. Other advantages are that it is non-magnetic, does not burn, increases in strength as the temperature decreases, is non-toxic, and is an efficient heat/electricity conductor.

Because aluminum has lower formability than steel, product design features (such as radius, drawing, corners, steps, and transitions) must be carefully selected because they all affect each other, thereby affecting the cost and cost of aluminum stamping parts. quality.

The stamping machine must be carefully designed, especially if the previous parts were made of steel, the different properties of aluminum must be taken into account. A thin layer of aluminum oxide is formed on the surface of the aluminum sheet, which decomposes during the forming process, thereby wearing the cutting and forming tools. This oxide film is very hard, fragile and tightly bonded, and it is easy to break. This will allow highly bonded metal to metal contact, which usually requires surface treatment to protect the tool.

Stamping equipment can be divided into two types. Mechanical presses and hydraulic presses. The mechanical press has a mechanical flywheel to store energy and then transfer it to the punch and the workpiece. Hydraulic presses use hydraulic systems to transmit controlled forces.

The full-service metal stamping workshop can develop your aluminum stamping project from the conceptual stage to full-scale production. When the parts you need are not available, custom stamping is important. Custom aluminum stamping can include mold design services and mold engineering services to customers. Mold design services can eliminate wasted resources, improve quality and shorten turnaround time.
