Focus processes: fine blanking and thinning deep drawing
Which materials and thicknesses suit fine blanking?
Answer
Metal Ring for Rubber Bonded Collar Material: DC01 cold steel, Zn-Ni plating Process: Stamping, forming Application: Rings for rubber-bonded collars; tight bend radius for secure rubber-to-metal bond. D-Ring With Backing Plate Material: Aluminum 6061 (4 mm) Process: Blanking + stamping Application: Mounting plates for tie-down D-rings; 65Mn Spring Steel Shim Blanking Material: 65Mn spring steel Process: Blanking, heat treatment, plating Application: Hardened adjusting shims for machinery;

- Custom Metal Shims & Shim Washers Made to Drawing | BalfordA shim is a thin metal part used to take up a gap, set a preload, correct alignment or protect a surface from wear. Custom shims are made to a drawing rather than bought from stock, because the thickness, the outside and inside profile, the hole pattern and the flatness all belong to one assembly. T...
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.
