13 Mechanical Design Considerations for Metal Stamping Parts

 The metal stamping process is a versatile manufacturing process used to produce high volumes of custom metal parts efficiently and cost-effectively. However, to reap the benefits of  metal stamping service s, the parts must be designed properly with stamping in mind. Here we will discuss the critical mechanical design principles and considerations for designing parts for metal stamping. Material Selection The material used for metal stamping  significantly impacts the part design. Ductile materials like low-carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass are commonly stamped. Sheet thickness typically ranges from 0.5mm to 3mm for most stampings. Thicker materials up to 6mm can be stamped in some cases.  When selecting the material, consider factors like: - Strength and hardness required - Corrosion resistance needed  - Magnetic properties  - Weight and density - Formability and ability to bend without fracturing - Cost and availability Understanding the formability, flexibility, an

Selecting the Right Stainless Steel Alloy for Metal Injection Molding Parts

Stainless Steel Optional for MIM The most commonly metal injection molded stainless steels are 304 and 316/316L due to their excellent corrosion resistance and easier fabrication. Precipitation-hardening alloys can achieve very high strength through aging but are more difficult to MIM. Some common stainless steel alloys are used in metal injection molding (MIM) , including: 304 Stainless Steel 316L Stainless Steel 17-4 PH Stainless Steel 420 Stainless Steel 440C Stainless Steel 430 Stainless Steel 316 Stainless Steel MIM-Stainless Steel Material Comparison Austenitic grades offer the best corrosion resistance, martensitic grades have the highest hardness and strength, and ferritic grades provide an economical option when hardness is not critical. Here is a brief comparison of standard stainless steel alloys used in metal injection molding (MIM): 304: Austenitic stainless steel. Excellent corrosion resistance and good formability. Lower strength and hardness. It is commonly used for con
