In order to produce successful metal stamping, fabricators must remember some core fundamentals:
• Do understand the possibilities and limitations of metal stamping
• Don’t overdesign; metal stamping tolerances must be reasonable and not too tight
• Do design properly by considering feasibility and service life
• Don't designate every dimension as a “critical dimension”
• Do match material with design characteristics for ideal metal stamping
• Do avoid secondary operations that will compromise metal stamping integrity
• Don't expect secondary operations such as heat treating, painting and plating to compensate for a
flawed metal stamping design
• Do remember specific forming characteristics for a given metal stamping material
• Don’t expect a metal stamping to perform like a casting
Keeping these factors in mind will result in more successful metal stamping and a longer-lasting product. Contact info@wiscoind.com or 800-999-4726 for professional metal stamping from ISO 9001: 2000 with Design-certified Wisco Industries, Inc.
