Piercing and Blanking Aluminum Sheet

Piercing and Blanking Aluminum Sheet

(OP)
I have a part currently being waterjet cut from sheet stock 3/16" thick.  Can anyone enlighten me to the problems we would experience in stamping these parts in a  die?  we have the press, the technology, and the orders for increasing capacity by stamping versus cutting.

RE: Piercing and Blanking Aluminum Sheet

cobra427,
what material, size, tolerance and quantity required you're looking at?

Best regards,
ct

Cobra 427,

my company makes tool steel and one of the biggest problems our customers have with aluminium is cold welding.

We use coatings for this nowadays.

Richard
