Each material is chosen for its unique attributes. For example, steel is valued for its corrosion resistance and durability, while aluminium is preferred for its lightweight and formability.

Choosing the Right Pressing Materials

Choosing the right pressing materials is critical because:

Tailored Performance: Each material offers unique properties that have different strengths depending on their application.
Production Efficiency: Certain materials are more cost-effective than others, but more premium materials may be needed due to harsher environments.
Long-Term Durability: Selecting materials that are best suited for the intended environment enhances the product’s lifespan and reliability.

Key Considerations

When selecting pressing materials, you must consider the following:

Application Requirements: Assessing the end needs—whether related to load-bearing capacity, environmental exposure, or aesthetic specifications.
Material Properties: Evaluating tensile strength, hardness, ductility, and, where necessary, thermal and electrical characteristics.
Manufacturing Compatibility: Ensuring materials can be effectively cut, bent and welded to maintain process efficiency and integrity.
Cost and Availability: Balancing budget constraints with the reliable supply of materials.

Process Material Selection

Different pressing techniques require specific material characteristics:

Deep Drawing: Materials must offer high formability and sustain constant pressure.
Progressive Stamping: Materials should endure multiple operations without compromising quality.
Compound Pressing: Suitable materials must be capable of forming complex designs with multiple bends and angles.
