[Carbon Steel / High strength Steel / Aluminum / Stainless Steel]
Helping our customers choose the optimal metal for every project.
MOTEC produces precise, high quality deep drawn parts using a wide range of deep draw stamping materials. We work with raw materials up to 4.5mm (0.177”) thick and can create parts up to 280mm(11.2”) long. We will work with you, as needed, to determine the best material for your parts based on application, performance and manufacturing requirements.
Carbon Steel
Carbon steel often ranks as the metal of choice for deep drawn stampings. It can be used to manufacture a large variety of parts at low per-piece costs, Low carbon steel exhibits a number of desirable characteristics for the metal stamping process, including:
- • Excellent formability, depending on the specific grade used
- • Excellent value, with lower cost than stainless steel and most other stamping materials
- • Low carbon steel work-hardens, thus providing better structural characteristics after forming
Aluminum
There are many reasons why aluminum may be the best stamping material for your deep drawn parts. Aluminum stampings frequently find a use in parts for power storage, beverage containers, batteries, and heat sink applications, among others. Aluminum exhibits numerous beneficial characteristics for deep drawn parts:
- • Lightweight, with a specific gravity roughly 1/3 of low carbon steel
- • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- • Non-magnetic
- • Aluminum does not rust, making it ideal for corrosion-resistant parts
- • Heat treatable
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel stamping is substantially different that other metal stamping processes, making it vitally important to find a stamping provider with appropriate experience and expertise. Generally chosen for deep drawn stampings when parts call for high wear resistance, stainless steel has a high tolerance.
Stainless steel offers the following desirable characteristics for metal stamping:
- • Very strong, with a high strength-to-weight ratio
- • Naturally corrosion resistant
- • Most stainless-steel grades are non-magnetic; specialty magnetic grades are available
- • Stainless steel is heat treatable
- • Very good wear resistance
- • No need for plating
