Heavy Gauge Metal Stamping is a word that refers to metal stamping that uses a raw material that is thicker than average. A stamping press with a higher tonnage is required to create a metal stamping made from a thicker grade of material.
Stamping thin metals, such as those used in the automobile and appliance sectors, has evolved into an art form. This is the outcome of improving the tests used to determine mechanical characteristics and formability.
Blanking and forming thick metals, on the other hand, is still an art that necessitates a high level of knowledge in terms of material selection, press selection, tool design and construction, and lubricant selection. The inherent features of thick metals need unique rolling mill techniques, which is one of the main reasons for this. As a result, the product is less homogeneous, necessitating the use of special stamping techniques to compensate for variances in material characteristics and formability.
