When flattening for your metal stamping project, first need perfect flatness – that condition which exists when all points on a surface lie in the same plane. In order to achieve perfect flatness, you first need to know the flatness tolerance for the surface you’re working with. WHAT IS FLATNESS TOLERANCE? Flatness tolerance is the … Flatness Tolerances for Metal Stamping [FREE CHART]
Carbon steel is a popular choice for metal forming and metal stamping products for the wide variety of finishes and rigidity. When choosing a cold rolled carbon steel strip, it’s important to know what softness is best for your project. Below are the varieties of carbon steel strip you can choose for your project, and for which … How to Choose the Right Carbon Steel Strip for Metal Forming
Practical tolerances for our Short Run Metal Stampings vary according to the design of the part. Generally, all dimensional tolerances compared to costs can be illustrated by the following diagram “A”. Reading from right to left, we illustrate that within the more generous limitations, the cost increases slowly—but, as the permissible variance is reduced, the … Practical Tolerances for Short Run Metal Stampings
Practical experience has proven that dimensioning and measuring practices must both be understood and agreed on by all parties to achieve a workable, mutual standard. Formed sheet metal parts present a unique problem in that angular tolerances as well as the flatness conditions interact with single plane dimensions because of the flexibility of sheet metal, … Dimensioning Practices for Press Brake
The Tonnage Formula is the pressure required in tons to cut a blank or contour using a flat faced punch with no shear. Tonnages can be calculated for forming, bending, cutting, drawing, and blanking operations. Having the ability to calculate the tonnages for a sheet metal project is vital for the completion and success of … How to Calculate Tonnage [FREE FORMULA]
