Precision Stamped Stainless Steel Hardware Components

Stamping presses cut and form sheet or coil in fast, repeatable strokes. Progressive dies perform several operations at successive stations as the strip advances, which suits small, complex parts at high volume. Single-stage dies cost less and fit simpler parts or lower quantities. We design dies around your part, run trial strips, and adjust forming stations until the first articles match the drawing.

301 and 304 stainless are common for stamped hardware; 301 can be supplied in spring tempers for clips and retaining parts, while 304 offers better general corrosion resistance. Stamped edges have a burr side and a shear zone, which matters for parts that touch hands or wires; deburring by tumbling handles this. Parts can be passivated, polished or electroplated after stamping.

First articles from new dies are measured fully, and production is monitored with in-process checks at set intervals to catch die wear. Critical dimensions such as hole positions and form heights are 100% checked on key characteristics. Typical uses include cable clips, battery contacts, hinge plates, mounting brackets, spring washers and appliance hardware.
