The Importance of Effective Heat Treatment for Punches, Dies, Blades, and Tool Steels

August 14, 2018

Tool steels are hardened alloys. They’re shaped into sharp-edged cutting and forming profiles. However, in order to retain those rigid geometrical outlines, tool alloys need heat treatment work. With the post-manufacturing work, the super-hardened metals gain additional mechanical strength and […]

What is Sheet Metal Punching?

July 26, 2018

It’s back to basics day. What is sheet metal punching? A person who’s unfamiliar with the process infers a few facts. There are plates of metal, and they’re being held by a clamping mechanism. Suspended above that workpiece, a tool […]

Measuring Punch Accuracy in Metal Fabrication

July 11, 2018

It’s true, punch quality and features are important. However, even if the tools exceed all expectations, they’re not doing the job right if the punch tip isn’t accurately hitting its mark. To make sure that’s the case every single time, […]

Differences between Stainless Steel and Mild Steel in Punching Materials

June 27, 2018

Stainless steel is made from iron and chromium. There’s a small amount of carbon in the mix, and the chromium content hovers around the eleven percent mark. Mild steel is mainly composed of iron and carbon. The low carbon alloy […]
