What Is Fineblanking?
Fineblanking is a hybrid metal forming process combining the technologies of stamping and cold extrusion. Triple-action presses combined with specially designed tooling produce parts impossible to make with any other stamping process.
Fineblanking yields parts with the characteristics:
- Cleanly sheared straight edges, with little or no diebreak.
- Small holes relative to material thickness
- Thin web sections
- Excellent flatness
- Components made from rolled stock from 0.005" to more than 0.750" (0.13mm - 19mm) thickness.
