What is Progressive stamping?
Progressive stamping is a metalworking method that can encompass punching, coining, bending and several other ways of modifying metal raw material, combined with an automatic feeding system. […]
What is Metalworking?
Metalworking is the process of working with metals to create individual parts, assemblies, or large scale structures. […]
The method of Repoussé and chasing
It can take some time to create jewellery using Repoussé and chasing, although with practice, complex and delicate pieces can be made which would be virtually impossible to complete using any other method. It takes a lot of time due to the repetition of a number of time-consuming stages: the preparation of a sheet by [...]
The history of Repoussé and chasing
The techniques of repoussé date from Antiquity and have been used widely with gold and silver for fine detailed work and with copper, tin, and bronze for larger sculptures. Among the most famous classical pieces using this technique are the bronze Greek armour plates from the 3rd century BC. […]
Introduction to Repoussé and chasing
Repoussé (French pronunciation: [ʀəpuse] or repoussage [ʀəpusaʒ] is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side. […]
Introduction to Blanking– metalworking
Blanking is a shearing process where a punch and die are used to create a blank from sheet metal or a plate. The blank is workpiece ejected from the starting stock. The process and machinery are usually the same as that used in piercing, except that the piece being punched out in the piercing process [...]
How many types of bending on a press brake
There are three basic types of bending on a press brake, each is defined by the relationship of the end tool position to the thickness of the material. These three are Air Bending, Bottoming and Coining. The configuration of the tools for these three types of bending are nearly identical. […]
The reasons of using hot runner system
Competitiveness and price pressure in the injection molding industry has influenced many OEMs, molders and mold manufacturers to look for new ways to survive and thrive in their regional and global markets. […]
That is What Amateurs and Professionals would Talk
Step back for a moment and think about the voices we’ve been listening to over the past 10 years—what do you remember? Separate voices.Special interests have called for special considerations. Specific industries and associations and lobbyists represented their own interests—often with the best of intentions—that resulted in fractured, disjointed, poorly managed tactics that led to [...]
Stainless steel has come to mold industry
For years, the focus of mold base development has been toward providing a steel with higher mechanical properties for the user of the mold bases; however, when these higher strength alloys are used, machining has not been optimized for the toolmaker, […]
