Custom Carbon Steel Stamping

At Tempco, we provide commercial and industrial customers with custom carbon steel metal stamping services. Our engineers use our in-house state-of-the-art equipment to produce superior-quality carbon steel components with tight tolerances in low-to-medium volume runs. With quick turnaround times, exceptional customer service, and competitive pricing, Tempco is your source for all your carbon steel stamping needs.

Progressive Die for Carbon Steel Stamping

Tempco uses progressive dies to make high-volume production of complex metal components a streamlined process. This metalworking device is designed to convert a flat strip of raw metal material into completed parts that conform to print specifications. The process combines multiple stamping operations into a single die set for maximum efficiency and precision. Progressive die stamping ultimately reduces labor costs and lead times, allowing for faster delivery of high-quality parts in large volumes.

Cold Rolled Steel vs. Hot Rolled Steel

In our progressive die-stamping processes, we use both cold-rolled & hot-rolled steel. These materials have different attributes or benefits that are advantageous with varying applications. Hot-rolled steel is more malleable and has a scaly surface finish, while cold-rolled steel provides increased strength with an aesthetically pleasing exterior finish. The team at Tempco will work with you to determine which materials will best suit your application's requirements.

Carbon Steel Metal Stamping Capabilities at Tempco

Tempco's carbon steel metal stamping capabilities use industry-leading tools and dies to produce top-quality components. We use small punch presses for small precision metal stampings and large punch presses for more complex custom projects. Our stamping dies are custom-made tools with a stamping press to cut or form steel sheet metal into its desired shape. Most stamping tools are custom-manufactured and made from tool steel, which is hard enough to cut most other types of metal while maintaining the tolerances the stamped part requires.

All Tempco's stamping dies are made by our in-house tool and die shop. Our tool and die makers have the expertise to create high-precision steel stamping tools that will accurately reproduce even the most complex part shapes.

Carbon Steel Stamping Processes

We utilize a wide range of processes to achieve the exact stamped parts you need, including:

• Steel Blanking: A fabrication process where a punch and die are used to cut pieces, referred to as blanks, from sheet metal for further processing. Steel blanking produces minimal burrs, which helps reduce finishing costs and lead time.
• Piercing: Uses similar machinery as blanking and involves using a punch and die to create holes, slots, and notches in sheet metal. It creates tight tolerances, produces a cleaner cut than drilling, and is more productive than laser cutting.
• Steel Forming: Includes different processes where force is applied to sheet metal to modify its geometry. Steel-forming processes create thin, flat pieces that can be formed into complex shapes.
• Drawing: A process where tensile force is used to stretch, or draw, sheet metal blanks over a die until the desired thickness and shape is achieved. This precision metal stamping process is used to create fluid handling, aircraft parts, electronic components, and more.

Steel Stamping for Parts of All Sizes

We can produce high-precision, highly detailed custom carbon steel stampings in nearly any size requirement. Our stamping presses have capacities of up to 440 tons. We can create parts as thin as 0.002" while maintaining tolerances that often exceed industry standards. We serve customers in all industries, delivering short- to medium-run metal stampings for parts and components of all shapes and sizes.

Additional Custom Fabrication Services

In addition to custom metal stamping, we offer a range of other sheet metal fabrication services and value-added services to give our customers high-precision parts, components, and assemblies that match their application requirements. We provide precision sheet metal fabrication, laser cutting, welding, secondary machining, and more. Whatever your metal manufacturing requirements entail, Tempco is your one-stop solution for top-quality metal forming capabilities.
