When steel stamps are made from tool steels, the inherent characteristics of the steel plus the changes that are affected from its manufacturing process and heat treatment dramatically influence its long lasting durability. The chemical composition is of the utmost importance. With the correct balance of alloy metals, marking…
D-2 Air Hardening Tool Steel For Steel Stamps
There are several key mechanical properties steel stamps must possess to make them suitable for a given application. The tool steel from which the stamp is manufactured must have specific hardness, heat resistance, toughness and wear resistance in the final heat-treated product. The most important element in an alloy…
Steel Stamps for Sheet Metal Products
One of the strongest and most durable materials that can be cut or shaped with ease is sheet metal. It is used for electrical components due to its good conductivity and resistance to rust and corrosion. In the manufacturing of sheet metal objects and parts, steel stamps are used to…
Steel Stamps Identification for Disposable Medical Supplies
