1. Stamping is a method of forming and processing workpiece (stamping piece) with required shape and size by applying external force to sheet, strip, pipe and profile by press and die. Stamping and forging belong to plastic processing (or pressure machining). The stamping blanks are mainly hot rolled and cold-rolled steel plates and steel strips. 60 to 70% of the steel products in the world are sheets, most of which are stamped into finished products. The car body, chassis, fuel tank, radiator fin, boiler drum, container shell, electrical machinery, electrical core silicon steel sheet, etc. are stamped. Instruments, household appliances, bicycles, office machinery, household utensils and other products, there are also a large number of stamping parts.
Stamping is a kind of production technology that can make the sheet metal be directly deformed and deformed in the die by the power of conventional or special stamping equipment, so as to obtain a certain shape, size and performance of product parts. Sheet metal, mold and equipment are the three elements of stamping process. According to the stamping temperature, it can be divided into hot stamping and cold stamping. The former is suitable for sheet metal processing with high deformation resistance and poor plasticity, while the latter is carried out at room temperature, which is a common stamping method for sheet metal. It is one of the main methods of metal plastic processing (or pressure processing), also belongs to the material forming engineering technology.
The die used for stamping is called stamping die, or die. Punching die is a special tool for batch processing material (metal or non-metal) into the required stamping parts. The punching die is very important in stamping. Without the punching die that meets the requirements, the batch stamping production will be difficult; without the advanced punching die, the advanced stamping process will not be realized. Stamping process and die, stamping equipment and stamping materials constitute the three elements of stamping processing, and only when they are combined can stamping parts be obtained.
2, punch press is a punch press. In the national production, stamping process is more and more widely used because it has the advantages of saving materials and energy, high efficiency, low technical requirements for operators and can make products that can not be achieved by machining through various die applications.
Stamping production is mainly aimed at sheet metal. Through the mold, can be blanking, punching, forming, drawing, dressing, fine punching, shaping, riveting and extrusion parts, and so on, widely used in various fields. For example, we use switches and sockets, cups, cupboards, saucers, computer boxes, even missile planes. There are a lot of accessories that can be produced by punching machines through molds.
