Stamping Challenges & How We Solve Them
1. Stainless Steel — Springback & Tool Wear
Stainless is strong and work-hardens fast, so it springs back a lot and wears out tools quickly. Fix: over-bend a bit, open up the die clearance, and use tough tooling like DC53 or tungsten carbide with a TiCN coating.
2. Brass / Phosphor Bronze Springs — Springback & Conductivity
Springback messes with contact force, and heat or dirt can kill conductivity. Fix: dial in the bend angle, do a stress-relief anneal, and keep things clean with the right lube so the surface stays good.
3. Aluminum — Burr Control
Aluminum is soft and gummy, so it makes big burrs and sticks to the die. Fix: keep edges sharp, run tighter clearance (6–8% of thickness), use the right lube, and stay on top of die maintenance.
4. Carbon Steel — Springback & Dimensional Consistency
Carbon steel is easy to form but still springs back, especially at higher strength grades. Fix: compensate the bend angle, keep clearance consistent, and use good lubrication to keep dimensions stable.
5. Galvanized Steel — Coating Damage & Flaking
The zinc coating can crack, flake, or rub off during forming, which hurts corrosion resistance. Fix: use larger bend radii, reduce die friction with proper lube, and polish die surfaces to protect the coating.
Process Selection Guide
We offer flexible mold solutions—single-station, compound, and progressive dies—selected based on your product volume, precision, and cost budgets:
1. Single Dies – Ideal for small batches or large parts. In only 2 weeks, you can get T1 samples.
2. Compound Dies – Well-suited for medium-volume parts. Combine multiple operations in a single press stroke with greater efficiency.
3. Progressive Dies – Fully automated, ideal for high-volume parts. High precision, high consistency, and high stability are always our requirements.
| Process Type | Best For | Volume | Tooling Cost | T1 Lead Time |
| Single-Station Die | Simple parts, low volume | 1K–10K pcs | Low | 2 weeks |
| Compound Die | Flat parts, high precision | 10K–100K pcs | Medium | 3–4 weeks |
| Progressive Die | Complex parts, high volume | 100K+ pcs | High | 4–6 weeks |

Why Choose Us?
1. Use High-Strength and High-Toughness Mold Materials
Our molds are engineered using premium mold materials such as SKD11, DC53, and tungsten carbide. This ensures stable performance and long service life.
2. Use Precision Components & Systems
Forming Components (such as punches and dies) – Precision-ground to maintain exact part geometry to ensure the mold gap is very small.
Positioning Systems (pilot pins, stop pins) – Ensure consistent material alignment stroke after stroke.
Guiding Systems (guide posts, bushings) – Maintain alignment and reduce wear during high-speed operation.
Support Structures – Provide the rigid framework essential for precision stamping.
3. Use Standard Mold Accessories
ISO/TC 29/SC 8, DIN ISO 18084, VDI 3357, VDI 3386, VDI 3349, and ANSI B5.25 can be used in the mold design. It’s easier to repair and maintain.
