Parts and products that are made from different materials undergo numerous processes to alter and improve their properties. Some of the processes are intended to make their overall properties to be stronger and more resistant to elements. Others, alternatively, are done to change their surfaces. One process that a lot of parts and products undergo […]

There are a lot of forming processes that are normally utilised by manufacturers of various materials. One of these processes is punching. Punching is a type of forming process that forces a tool through the workpiece to effectively create and cut a hole. Some materials that usually undergo the punching process are sheet metal, vulcanised […]

Shear blades are often utilised in different fabricating equipment that can be found in metal fabrication plants and other similar locations. One of the reasons why these blades are maximised is due to their versatility and effectiveness. Additionally, they can come in a wide variety of sizes, allowing them to process any types and kinds […]

Tool steel is a type of carbon alloy steel. As you can guess from the name, it is often used to make, modify or repair hand tools or machine dies. Tool steels are notable for their hardness, resistance to abrasion and deformation. They can retain a cutting edge at very high temperatures which is why […]

Several businesses, particularly those that fabricate or manufacture products, maximise blades when it comes to various processes. Some of the blades are used in various conversion techniques, which include trimming, scoring, slitting, and perforating materials. The processing of food products such as meat, chicken, seafood, and others also utilise these sharp tools. Ultimately, blades are […]

Computer numerical control (CNC) machining is a type of manufacturing process that utilises pre-programmed software in determining the movement of tools and pieces of equipment. With this type of manufacturing process, stock material such as metal, plastic, and wood can boast a wide variety of shapes and designs that are needed for different industries. To […]

Punches or punch tools are small and narrow hard metal rods that feature a narrow sharp point or flat face on one end and a broad flat surface at the other. The narrow part of these tools is normally pointed against a target surface, effectively cutting, drawing circles, or punching some holes on a specific […]

Manufacturing industries that are involved in making different types of cutting tools, hand tools, machine dies, and others typically maximise the properties of tool steels. Tool steels are carbon alloy steels that are known for their hardness, abrasion resistance, and ability to retain shape at high temperatures. Most of these materials are produced through different […]

The whole process of punching may be straightforward. However, a successful punching can be difficult to achieve if some of the required elements are not optimised for the said process. And so, fabricators that maximise punching should know the basic principles to achieve satisfactory results. Knowing these principles can also help the fabricators become more […]

Punching has been very helpful in providing holes in sheet materials. After all, this forming process utilises a punch press that forces the punch through the workpiece by creating a hole. Some examples of sheet materials that can undergo the punching process include sheet metals, paper, vulcanised fibre, and some types of plastic sheets. Principles […]
