- Deep Drawn Metal Stamping Manufacturer | BalfordMaterial First-stage draw ratio Note Low carbon steel (DC01–DC04) 1.8 – 2.0 DC04 for the deeper draws; DC01 needs more stages Stainless steel (304, 430) 1.6 – 1.8 Higher work hardening, so more stages and more annealing Pure iron (DT4E / DC04 iron grades) 1.8 – 2.0 Good ducti...
What an engineer still needs from you
- material and material condition (grade, temper)
- material thickness, plus the key diameter, height and wall thickness
- tolerances, burr direction and the visual acceptance standard
- annual volume - it decides whether tooling is single-hit, progressive or transfer
- surface finish, and any secondary machining, annealing or plating
Next step. Send the drawing for a manufacturability review, or send the part data for a process and cost route.
