Materials

When stamping complex parts, it is crucial to select a raw material that meets part specifications and ensures optimal performance.

Material Section Criteria

Material selection involves evaluating:

  • Thickness and width of the material
  • How well metal stamping can form to specification with that material
  • How the part will perform in the application and operating environment
  • Material cost and availability
  • Material properties

Material Specifications

We stamp a wide range of materials to meet the exact material specifications needed for each unique application.

Material Types

A variety of materials are used for stamping metal parts. Learn more about the unique applications for each material type by clicking on the links below.

Ferrous Metals

Magnetic, contain iron and have limited resistance to corrosion.

Precious Metals

Often used as a plating or coating on stamped parts. Designing a stamping process that conserves metal is critical due to its high cost and at times limited availability.

Noble Metals & Other Materials

Known for their resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
