Blanking is a metal production process, during which a metal workpiece is removed from the primary metal strip or sheet when it is punched. The material that is removed during metal blanking is the new metal workpiece or blank. There are various types of blanking and piercing: lancing, perforating, notching, nibbling, shaving, cutoff, and dinking. Capewell also offers the service of metal blanking.
The process of metal blanking has become prominent in the steel manufacturing industry because of its ability to make highly specialized parts that minimize waste and cost. With metal blanking, the goal is to use what is stamped/punched out rather than what is left after going through the die. Simply, the punched-out piece IS the part.
Moreover, when punching or blanking of advanced high strength sheet metals, stresses and shock waves increase a lot on the cutting edges of the tools.
With the powder metallurgy process, the microstructure of the ASP tool steels is much refined with a very even distribution of finer primary carbides. This results in an improved combination of toughness, strength and hardness in comparison to conventional tool steels when metal blanking is applied.
Capewell’s metal blanking process provides a very efficient response when the limits of conventional materials are exceeded.
Trust Capewell with all of your metal blanking needs.
