Advantages of Aluminum
Why Use Aluminum for Progressive Stamping
Aluminum offers unique advantages that make it ideal for progressive stamping applications across numerous industries.
- Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio (up to 3x lighter than steel)
- Natural corrosion resistance through oxide layer formation
- Excellent thermal and electrical conductivity
- Superior formability and workability
- 100% recyclable with minimal quality degradation
- Non-magnetic and non-sparking properties
- Maintains strength in low-temperature environments
For applications requiring lightweight, corrosion-resistant components with good conductivity, aluminum metal stamping provides an optimal balance of performance and cost-efficiency.
Limitations to Consider
Lower tensile strength compared to steel
Higher material cost than some alternatives
More challenging welding requirements
Potential for springback during forming
Some alloys are not heat-treatable
Commonly Used Aluminum Alloys for Metal Stamping
Each alloy offers specific properties that make it suitable for different applications and forming requirements.
| Alloy | Key Properties | Formability | Common Applications |
| 1100 | 99% pure aluminum, excellent corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity | Excellent – highly ductile | Decorative parts, cookware, chemical equipment, heat exchangers |
| 3003 | Manganese-alloyed, moderate strength, good workability | Very good | Kitchen equipment, storage tanks, general sheet metal work |
| 5052 | Magnesium-alloyed, high fatigue strength, excellent corrosion resistance | Good | Marine components, appliance parts, electronic chassis |
| 6061 | Heat-treatable, good weldability, moderate strength | Moderate | Structural components, automotive parts, aerospace applications |
Aluminum Metal Stamping Process
The aluminum metal stamping process involves several precise steps to transform raw sheet metal into finished components.
Design & Engineering
Our team creates detailed CAD models and simulations to optimize part design for manufacturability and performance.
Forming Operations
The blank undergoes various operations including bending, drawing, embossing, or coining to create the desired shape.
Tooling Development
Custom dies and tooling are precision-machined to exact specifications, ensuring consistent part quality.
Piercing & Cutting
Holes, slots, and other features are added through precision cutting operations.
Material Selection
The appropriate aluminum alloy is selected based on application requirements and forming characteristics.
Quality Inspection
Parts undergo dimensional verification and quality checks to ensure they meet specifications.
Blanking
Sheet aluminum is cut to create the initial form (blank) that will be further processed.
Finishing
Optional surface treatments like anodizing, painting, or powder coating may be applied.
Stamping Operation Types
Progressive Die Stamping
Ideal for high-volume production, it performs multiple operations as the aluminum sheet advances through a series of stations within a single die set. It’s perfect for complex parts requiring multiple forming steps.
Transfer Die Stamping
For larger aluminum components, it uses automated systems to move parts between separate dies. This provides flexibility for complex geometries while maintaining production efficiency.
Fine Blanking
When exceptional edge quality and tight tolerances are required, fine blanking produces aluminum parts with smooth, perpendicular edges. This eliminates secondary operations for critical components.
