What is Metal Stamping Process?
Metal stamping is a precision manufacturing technique that involves shaping flat metal sheets or coils into specific components by placing the material between dies and applying force through a press. This process is highly versatile, capable of producing parts with a wide range of shapes and features. Depending on the complexity of the part, multiple stamping operations—such as bending, piercing, and drawing—may be necessary to achieve the desired form. The metal stamping process is known for its high production speed, consistency, and ability to produce intricate shapes with tight tolerances, making it an ideal choice for mass production.

Take advantage of our complimentary mold sampling service, which allows you to assess mold design and product functionality at no extra cost. Our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities for stamping molds enable us to provide customized metal stamping solutions efficiently, delivering parts in virtually any shape or size with short lead times.
Metal Stamping Forming Materials
At Plantmetal, we offer an extensive selection of materials for our custom metal stampings. If you have specific material requirements, our experts are readily available to assist you in finding the perfect solution for your needs.
Copper
Our copper offerings include C110, known for its exceptional electrical conductivity and ease of forming, making it ideal for various applications. We also provide C510 phosphor bronze, a high-strength, wear-resistant copper alloy. Due to its superior electrical conductivity, copper is extensively used in electronic and electrical equipment.
Brass
We offer Brass 230 (85/15), commonly known as red brass, and Brass 260 (70/30), referred to as yellow brass, as prime materials for manufacturing stamped parts. These alloys are highly regarded for their excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and outstanding mechanical properties, making them ideal for a wide array of applications.
Stainless Steel
We work with a variety of stainless steel grades, including 301, 304, and 316/316L. Grade 301 stainless steel is known for its exceptional tensile strength, making it suitable for high-stress applications. Grade 304 offers a balance of strength and enhanced corrosion resistance, particularly at elevated temperatures. Grade 316/316L provides the highest level of corrosion resistance among these options, making it ideal for demanding environments, though it comes at a higher cost.
Aluminum
We utilize top aluminum alloys such as 3003, 5052, and 6061 in our stamping processes. These alloys are favored for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, outstanding corrosion resistance, and superior thermal and electrical conductivity. These properties make aluminum an ideal choice for stamped components in industries like automotive, medical, and electronics.
