Explanation of terminology of stamping factory-hardware

Walking into the stamping factory, some of the industry jargons communicated by some engineers and masters made me feel confused. So what do these terms mean? Xiaoshuo sorted out a few for your friends' reference: Dig: The habitual name of the mold maker, which means the wire cutting frame. For example: digging a knife edge, digging into a block, etc. Soft material: In the stamping die, it refers to die steel with a hardness of about HRC35 and a relatively low hardness, such as 45# steel, A3, Q235, etc. You can knock out a pit with a slightly harder thing on it. This material is very soft, so it is used to be called 'soft material' because it has better seismic performance and is generally used to make stampings. The upper and lower support plates, upper and lower feet, and upper and lower mold seats of the mold. Hard material: in the stamping die, it refers to the die steel with hardness (after heat treatment) about HRC58-62 or above, such as: Cr12, Cr12Mo1v1, Cr12Mov, Skd-51, Skd-11, W6Mo5Cr4V2 (tungsten steel), these The steel material has high hardness (but it is also relatively brittle, you may break a piece if you don't pay attention, 55), and it is generally used to make the knife edge of the stamping die, punch or other parts that require higher hardness. Hardware, 15 years of ingenuity focused on stamping processing plant, 5000 square meters production workshop, 20000+ sets of stamping die customization and production experience, monthly processing capacity of 100+ sets of stamping dies, daily production capacity of 3 million, 16 quality inspection procedures strictly control quality. Quickly solve your time-critical problems, quickly solve your product accuracy problems, and quickly solve your mass production quality problems.
