Metal pressing is a pivotal manufacturing process that shapes and forms metal sheets into a variety of complex components and products through the application of high pressure. This technique is extensively utilized in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, construction, and consumer goods. The process involves multiple techniques to create precise, durable, and intricate parts efficiently and consistently.
The metal pieces are placed in a press machine where a high-pressure die is used to shape the metal. Various techniques are employed during this stage:
Deep Drawing: Involves pulling a metal sheet into a die to create a deep, hollow shape, such as a can or a container.
Bending: The metal is bent to create angles and curves.
Punching: Holes and cutouts are created in the metal sheet using a punch press.
Coining: Applies a high-pressure stamp to create detailed features and patterns on the metal surface.
