Deep drawing Metal Stamping manufacturing technology is defined as the stretching of sheet metal stock, commonly referred to as a blank, around a plug. The edges of the metal blank are restrained by rings and the plug is drawn into a top die cavity to achieve the end shape that is desired. There are many shapes that can be made through deep drawing and stamping such as cups, pans, cylinders, domes and hemispheres, as well as irregular shaped products and features.
Any material in the annealed or solution heat treated condition can be deep draw formed. Materials having the best drawing qualities are 6061 aluminum, 321 stainless steel, and unalloyed titanium. Other metals may be processed using the deep drawing stamping techniques these include:
- Steel, Cold rolled
- Copper
- Steel, Galvanized
- Steel, Hot Rolled, Cold Rolled
