Creating parts for machines and original goods demands an expert’s approach. Relying on a company specializing in steel progressive stamping procedures is essential for your success.

CEP Technologies Corporation supports you with carbon steel metal stamping services that eliminate obstacles for your team. Learn more about how we guide you through our process from start to completion.

What Is Steel Progressive Metal Stamping?

Teams operating in production and manufacturing need consistent methods for cutting and shaping metal. Steel progressive metal stamping services from CEP allow teams to press steel sheets into unique shapes and thicknesses.

Our representatives work with you to understand your requirements and will create progressive tools and dies to accommodate your needs. Your original components are created in one of our facilities, and we get them to you, regardless of where in the world you operate.

CEP works by feeding the type of steel material you select into machines. The material makes contact with a progressive die. Each station is responsible for one aspect of the production process, which might include piercing, bending and coining. Clients rely on us for steel progressive metal stamping services because we can create steel parts for machines and technology quickly and consistently.

Types of Steel Used in Progressive Die Stamping

CEP works with more than one variety of steel to keep your options for original parts open.

  • High-carbon steel: Work with CEP for parts made with 0.60% to 1.00% carbon content. High-carbon solutions offer increased hardness after exposure to heat.
  • Low-carbon steel: A low-carbon steel sheet has a carbon makeup between 0.05% and 0.30%. Due to its exceptional ductility, low-carbon steel materials are recommended in situations where bending and welding are priorities.
  • Cold-rolled steel: Consider cold-rolled steel stamping when components require a smooth surface and tight tolerances. Cold-rolled steel can be annealed, and the metal sheets are compatible with a range of surface finishes.

Benefits of Steel for Progressive Stamping

Clients of CEP choose carbon steel progressive stamping services for several benefits.

  • Cost-effectiveness: CEP works with carbon steel materials, leaving opportunities to cut costs once a die is made. Our team carefully feeds carbon steel into stamping machines, reducing unnecessary waste.
  • Formability: Steel is available in high-carbon and low-carbon concentrations, depending on the desired malleability and performance characteristics of your finished product.
  • Finishing options: Speak with CEP about finish choices for steel stamped components. We have experience plating carbon steel with additional materials, like zinc, nickel and tin.
