MATERIAL SELECTION 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.

• Stock thickness from .0015 to .125 and above
• Stock width from .25 to 23.5 inches
• Ferrous and Non-Ferrous
• Precious and Noble Metals
• Pre-plated
• Mylar
• Wire

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.

• Steel Stampings

NON-FERROUS METALS
Do not contain iron, which gives them more corrosion resistance.

• Aluminum Stampings
• Copper Stampings
• Aluminum-Clad Copper Stampings
• Aluminum Alloy Stampings
• Brass Stampings
• Phosphor Bronze Stampings
• Beryllium Copper Stampings
• Nickel Alloy Stampings

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.

• Precious Metal Stampings

NOBLE METALS & OTHER MATERIALS
Known for their resistance to oxidation and corrosion.

• Titanium Stampings
• MP35N Stampings
• Niobium Stampings
