The Categories of Magnesium Stamping Die

1.Classification Based on Process Properties

1.Riveting mold: Connect or overlap parts in sequence to form a whole.

2.Blanking die: Separation of materials along closed or open contour lines, such as cutting die, punching die, cutting die, etc.

3.Forming mold: The blank or semi-finished product is directly copied into the shape of a magnesium alloy stamping mold, and the material only produces local plastic deformation, such as bulging molds, necking molds, etc.

4.Bending die: causes the blank of the sheet metal to undergo bending deformation along a straight line or bending curve, obtaining a certain angle and shape, such as a regular bending die, curling die, etc.

5.Drawing die: The blank of the sheet metal is made into an open hollow part, or the shape and size of the hollow part are changed.

2.Classification Based on the Degree of Process Combination

1.Transfer mode: Utilizing a robotic arm transfer system to achieve rapid transfer of products within the mold and improve efficiency.

2.Single process mold: Only one stamping process is completed in one stroke.

3.Composite mold: Two or more processes are completed at the same workstation in one stroke.

4.Progressive mold (continuous mold): With two or more workstations, two or more processes are completed sequentially.

3.Classification Based on Processing Methods

1.Compression mold: Using pressure to make metal blanks flow and deform into shape, such as extrusion molds.

2.Punching and shearing mold: completes work through shearing action, such as cutting mold, cutting mold, etc.

3.Bending mold: Bend the flat rough embryo into a certain angle and shape.

4.Drawing mold: Make a flat rough embryo into a seamless container with a bottom.

5.Forming mold: Changing the shape of the rough embryo through local deformation, such as convex forming molds.

The above method mainly classifies magnesium alloy stamping molds. Due to different processing requirements, technicians need to choose the correct processing method.
