| What Is Sheet Metal Stamping? |

Common Sheet Metal Stamping Process
There are basically only three components to sheet metal stamping—the sheet metal, die, and press machine—but any single part can require multiple steps to arrive at its final form. The following guide explains a few common processes that might occur during metal stamping.
· Forming: Forming describes the process of transforming the flat metal into another shape by applying force. It is accomplished in one of several ways, depending on the design specifications for the part. With a series of operations, the metal can be altered from a relatively simple shape into a complex one.
· Blanking: Blanking is the most basic technique and initiates when the sheet or blank is fed into the press where the die cuts out the desired shape. The resulting piece is called a blank. The blank may be the desired part, also known as a fully finished blank, or it may continue to the subsequent step of forming.
· Drawing: Drawing is a more complicated operation and is how vessels or deep depressions are formed. Tension is used to carefully draw the material into a cavity to change its shape. Though the material might stretch while it’s drawn, technicians try to avoid stretching as much as possible to keep the material intact. Sinks, cooking equipment, and oil pans for vehicles are usually made with drawing.
· Piercing: Piercing is almost the opposite of blanking, but instead of saving the blanks, technicians use the material around the outside of the punched area. As an example, think of cutting biscuits from a rolled-out circle of dough. During blanking, the biscuits are saved; during piercing, on the other hand, the biscuits are discarded, and the hole-riddled remains are the desired outcome.
Materials
Though virtually any metal, including gold, can be stamped, sheet metal is by far the most common. The type of metal used depends on the type of part that’s needed and its desired properties, such as corrosion- and heat-resistance.
Sheet metal stamping can produce parts from the following materials:
· Stainless steel
· Low- and high-carbon steel
· Aluminum
· Titanium
· Brass
· Bronze
· Copper
· Inconel
· Nickel alloys

| Why Can Aluminium Powder Coatings Fail? |

Polyester powder coating is should protect aluminium, providing a long-lasting, tough coating. But in certain circumstances, it may not last as long as it should.
Why should this be the case? The reasons are normally due to problems during the powder coating process.
If something goes wrong during the process, the aluminium surface can end up with various issues:
Filiform corrosion – worm-like filaments appear under the powder coating finish, lifting it away from the metal, due to less effective pretreatment methods before applying the powder coating
Orange peel effect – the finished surface is not smooth due to a faulty application of the powder coat
Failure of the powder coating to stick to the surface – because of either the insufficient pre-treatment or faulty application of the powder coating layer.
Properly and carefully applying powder coating to aluminium surfaces should prevent corrosion.
But it’s also important to clean and maintain these surfaces once they have been coated. This is especially true in situations where they will face exposure to outdoor weather conditions. One example is powder-coated aluminium window frames.
There are remedial measures you should take if powder-coated aluminium surfaces become damaged and are therefore susceptible to corrosion.
One solution is to touch up any damaged areas with colour-matched liquid paint. This can work where there has been fading due to oxidation, or where there are scratches or blemishes.
Wear and tear can reduce the overall effectiveness of powder coating, so it’s important to keep on top of it.
Where there are more serious signs of corrosion, the best solution is to get the part or product re-coated.
But with a professional application of powder coating to aluminium surfaces in the first place, these types of issues are far less likely to come up.

If you apply powder coating to aluminium surfaces, this will help to protect them from corrosion.
But although powder-coating provides long-term durability, it is not completely invincible to the impact of the elements.
Therefore, the short answer is that powder-coated aluminium doesn't rust, but it can corrode if the powder coating fails

Astm Spec 304 Stainless Steel Sheets
DESCRIPTION of astm-spec-for-304-stainless-steel-sheets
may be because I am engaged in the industry of Astm Spec 304 Stainless Steel Sheets, so I am usually more sensitive to this. I plan to buy an electric car a few days ago. I usually commute to work because I am engaged in the industry of anti-skid plates. So I’m usually more sensitive. I planned to buy an electric car a few days ago. I usually feel out of breath when I commute to and from work every time I squeeze the bus. I went to the electric car market to take a look. What surprised me was It turns out that the pedals of the tram are made of plastic. I don't know when many of them are replaced by the metal Astm Spec 304 Stainless Steel Sheets. So I asked the owner of the reason for using metal anti-skid plates instead of plastic pedals. Ordinary iron plate, stainless steel plate, aluminum plate, aluminum alloy plate, rubber-metal mixed plate, etc. The owner said that the anti-skid effect of stainless steel anti-skid plates is good, the service life is long, and the appearance is beautiful and generous, which has great advantages over plastic anti-skid plates. I believe that in the future when people pay more and more attention to the quality of life, Astm Spec 304 Stainless Steel Sheets will definitely become a bright spot in electric vehicles, and it will also become a bright spot in Anping wire mesh industry.

A lot of products use aluminum, and a lot of items on this site use aluminum plates. Ever wonder how aluminum plates are manufactured? Ever ask yourself how the plates you are using for your business first came about?
![[Image: anodized-aluminum-sheet.jpg]](http://www.thick-aluminum-plate.com/images/aluminumsheet/anodized-aluminum-sheet.jpg)
The journey for aluminum plates and sheets start with the mining of the mineral used to create this metal. Bauxite, which is the raw material where aluminum comes from, is in clay-like type soil. This is usually found only a few meters underneath the ground and is most abundant around the equator.
Once the bauxite is mined, it is washed off of any clay sticking to it then ground up and prepared for the extraction of aluminum oxide, or alumina. In order to extract the alumina from the crushed bauxite, a process that involves a mixture of hot caustic soda and lime is used. The result of the heating of the crushed bauxite and the purification of the resulting crystals is the alumina needed for the creation of aluminum metal.
The next step in this process is the creation of the aluminum metal. This is done with the help of carbon and electricity. In a process called electrolysis, using negative and positive cathodes made of carbon, the alumina is then converted to a liquid state with the creation of CO2. This liquid aluminum is then poured into different forms that produce sheet ingots or slabs, which are then used to create aluminum plates and sheets.
In the production of aluminum plates, the sheet ingots or slabs are first smoothed for these to get that mirror-like shine that aluminum is known for. These are then rolled through a rolling machine after being heated to 400ºC and this comes out as a thin sheet of metal. This process is called hot rolling. The sheets produced here are rolled into coils in preparation for the next stage.
The next stage for these aluminum sheets is called cold rolling. This is where these sheets are flattened into different thicknesses to suit the many applications these are to be used for and to suit the needs of various clients. These are also stored in rolls, just like the rolls that were produced after hot rolling.
These rolls undergo different finishing processes where different types of aluminum are produced. This is where annealing, surface treatments and many more are done. Before these are shipped out to the respective companies that ordered them, inspection is conducted to ensure that these aluminum plates and sheets are of the right quality

The aluminium plate production process
Even as experienced aluminium stockists, we still find Aluminium Plate production impressive, you can check it out for yourself here. The rolling process kicks off with massive, pre-heated metal sheet ingots weighing as much as 20 tons.
The ingots tend to be around six feet wide, twenty feet long and over two feet thick. They’re fed into a breakdown mill and rolled back and forth until the metal reaches the right thickness. To make the finished item as strong and durable as possible, the plate is heat-treated then cooled rapidly in a process called ‘quenching’.
Stretching and straightening the metal at this stage relieves the build-up of internal stresses, then the plate is trimmed to size and ‘aged’ at a predetermined temperature to give it the properties required.
Aluminium Plate destined to become sheet or foil gets trimmed after leaving the breakdown mill, then put through what’s called a ‘continuous mill’ to make it even thinner before it is coiled and heated again in a furnace to soften it ready for ‘cold rolling’. Cold rolling is often the final stage in the sheet production process but for other applications, extra heat treatment increases the material’s strength even more.
