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.

  • Stock thickness from .0015 to .125 and above
  • Stock width from .25 to 26 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.

Non-ferrous Metals

Do not contain iron, which gives them more corrosion resistance.

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.
