Metal Stamping Process In Automotive Plant’s

The Metal Stamping of Automotive Components is an activity characterised by constant technological modifications and short lead times in order to improve the quality and to reduce the manufacturing costs. An automotive plant in today’s world produces 40~50 panels per model of a car and that requires 100~150 dies. Metal Stamping processes to be used for a panel depend on the design. They extensively used blanking, drawing, piercing, forming, notching, trimming and hemming. The variations in blank dimensions, the environmental conditions and material properties make the predictability and reproducibility of a Steel Stamping forming process difficult. Steel Stamping is a process heavily based on experience and involves trial and error loops.
