- It may not be cost-effective for low-volume production.
Sheet Metal Stamping Materials
Unlock the potential of your designs with our diverse material selection for sheet metal stamping:
Steel: Select from CRS steel options like 1008, 1010, or 1018 for robust cold-forming capabilities.
Stainless Steel: Choose from 301, 304, and 316/316L for varying tensile strength and temperature-resilient corrosion resistance.
Copper: Opt for C110 for excellent electrical conductivity combined with easy formability.
Brass: Consider brass 230 (85/15) or 260 (70/30) for their unique blend of formability and resistance against corrosion.
Shengen's Types of Stamping
At Shengen, we provide a comprehensive range of stamping methods to cater to your precise manufacturing needs. Our team of experts will carefully analyze your 3D model and technical drawings to match your project with the most suitable stamping technique.
- With multiple dies and sequential steps, Progressive Die Stamping allows us to create intricate and deep parts that would be difficult to achieve with single dies alone. This method is particularly advantageous for high-volume production and large amounts, making it a favored choice in industries like automotive.
- Like Progressive Die Stamping, Transfer Die Stamping involves a workpiece attached to a metal strip, moving through the stamping process. The workpiece is removed and conveyed to the next stage, ensuring efficient production.
- Our Deep Draw Stamping technique is perfect for creating stampings with deep cavities, such as enclosed rectangles. This process results in rigid and durable components as the metal undergoes extreme deformation, leading to a more crystalline structure.
- Fourslide Stamping shapes legs from four axes, offering design flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and faster manufacturing times, making it popular in the aerospace, medical, automotive, and electronics industries.
- Hydroforming represents an evolution of stamping, wherein sheets are placed on a die with a bottom shape, and an oil-filled bladder applies high pressure to press the metal into the desired shape. This quick and precise technique allows for the simultaneous hydroforming of multiple parts, though a trim die is required to cut the pieces from the sheet afterward.
- Blanking involves cutting pieces from the sheet as an initial step before forming. Fine blanking, a variation of blanking, ensures precise cuts with smooth edges and a flat surface.
- Coining, another variation of blanking, creates small round workpieces by applying significant force, which hardens the metal and removes burrs and rough edges.
- Punching is the reverse of blanking; it involves removing material from the workpiece instead of cutting to create a workpiece.
- Using our Embossing technique, we can create captivating three-dimensional designs on the metal, either raised above the surface or through a series of depressions.
- Bending allows us to shape the metal on a single axis to create profiles in U, V, or L shapes. Conversely, flanging is used for tabs or specific workpiece parts instead of the entire region.

Finishing Options for Sheet Metal Stamping
Choose from a variety of finishing options for your Sheet Metal Stamping project, including powder coating, anodizing, and Electroplating.
Name | Description | Materials | Color | Texture |
---|---|---|---|---|
Anodizing | Anodizing improves corrosion resistance, enhancing wear resistance and hardness, and protecting the metal surface. Widely used in mechanical parts, aircraft, and automobile parts, precision instruments, etc. | Aluminum | Clear, black, grey, red, blue, gold. | Smooth, matte finish. |
Bead Blasting | Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments. | ABS, Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel, Steel | n/a | Matte |
Powder Coating | Powder coating is a type of coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint which is delivered via an evaporating solvent, powder coating is typically applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. | Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Steel | Black, any RAL code or Pantone number | Gloss or semi-gloss |
Electroplating | Electroplating can be functional, decorative or corrosion-related. Many industries use the process, including the automotive sector, in which chrome-plating of steel automobile parts is common. | Aluminum, steel, stainless steel | n/a | Smooth, glossy finish |
