Shaping and stamping metals
Do you know how the metal parts are made. There are various methods to shape the metal like
Press Forming - Press forming is any process that uses a hydraulic press to shape the metal.
- Annealing is a process of sheet metal fabrication that softens the metal through heat and cold. - Bending is the process that uses strain to either cut of bend the sheet metal.
- Cold forming is the term used to describe any sheet metal process that occurs at room temperature. These processes are done to increase the hardness and strength of the sheet metal.
- Cold rolling is a process where the sheet metal is rolled through rollers and compressed to establish hardness.
- Drawing is the process where metal is punched to form cylindrical shapes. It stretched the metal and forms a permanent shape.
- Forging is shaping sheet metal by hammering or pressing
Plus few more. Hot stamping is defined as a dry printing process, which uses controlled heat, pressure, and precision timing to transfer a color pigment from foil to surfaces of varied shapes and materials. This process forms a permanent bond between the part and the foil, and creates a dry print.
