Types of Metal Materials for Deep Drawn Metal Parts
Aluminum Stamping
Aluminum is among the more common metals for metal stamping. Known for excellent corrosion resistance, durability, malleability, and ductility, aluminum is a low-cost, sustainable metal for deep drawn parts. These valuable traits make aluminum highly versatile, and it is often used in metal alloys to enhance strength. Aluminum provides reliable solutions for trades including the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, automotive, electronic, and construction industries. Applications can range from medical instruments and cooking utensils to aircraft components. Hudson Technologies works with several grades of aluminum, including 1100-0, 3003-0, 5052-0, and 6061-0.
Stainless Steel Stamping
As one of the most desirable construction materials, stainless steel is excellent for deep drawn metal parts. In addition to increased corrosion resistance, reliable resistance to extreme temperatures, and superior strength, stainless steel presents an aesthetically pleasing finish. Deep drawn stainless steel parts are used in all types of applications, particularly for projects in the automotive, chemical, and food and beverage industries. Hudson Technologies offers stainless steel in grades 304L, 316L, 347, and 350, composed of 16–26% chromium and up to 35% nickel to meet industrial requirements.
Cold-Rolled Steel
Cold-rolled steel is formed through unique manufacturing processes, which give it distinct and versatile characteristics compared to hot-rolled steel. Cold-rolled steel undergoes additional processing, including extensive shaping, to increase its strength, hardness, and durability. These properties allow cold-rolled steel to form deep drawn metal parts with extremely tight tolerances and precise dimensions. The high-strength traits make cold-rolled steel excellent for a range of applications, from heavy load-bearing industrial projects to smaller consumer goods and furniture uses. Hudson Technologies uses cold-rolled steels including grades 1008-1010 for deep drawn metal parts.
Copper Stamping
Copper is known for its superior resistance to corrosion and water. Its formability, ductility, and malleability make it a highly versatile metal material. Additionally, copper has well-documented antimicrobial properties, making it highly beneficial in the food and beverage and medical industries. Also used in construction, aerospace, and electronic industries, copper can be used to manufacture components including solar units, air conditioners, transformers, motors, cables, and more.
Brass Stamping
Desired for increased resistance to water and corrosion, brass presents an attractive finish, making it ideal for applications demanding aesthetics. Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper, with differing properties based on the ratio of its components. Brass 70/30 (yellow cartridge brass) and 85/15 (red brass) are known for solderability and drawability, making them excellent alloys for plates and solders. Deep drawn metal parts made from brass can be used for many applications, most often for bearings, fasteners, valves, and electronics across multiple industries.
Nickel Silver Alloy 2
Made from a blend of nickel, copper, and zinc, nickel silver alloys feature excellent resistance to electrical stimulation while maintaining conductivity and corrosion resistance. They are also highly malleable and machinable, expanding their versatility for various uses. Applications range from electronic battery cases, lead wires, and heating coils to fasteners, jewelry, and musical instrument components.
Cupronickel 715 for Deep Drawn Parts
Cupronickel 715 primarily consists of copper and nickel, and is often reinforced with manganese and iron. Featuring high resistance to corrosion in seawater, drawability, and ductility, Cupronickel 715 is excellent for deep drawn metal parts. Resistance to corrosion in seawater makes this metal material popular for fishing and marine applications, including propellers, hulls, and crankshafts. Additional uses include coin and medal minting, as well as various industrial applications in the aerospace, electrical, and chemical trades.
HyMu80
As an alloy of nickel, iron, and molybdenum, HyMu80 features unique electromagnetic resistance. This resistance makes HyMu80 ideal for electronic shielding for sensitive devices and equipment. As a magnetic shielding alloy, HyMu80 is used for deep drawn parts in the aerospace, medical, and military industries to protect electronics, transformer cores, toroids, and other critical devices.
Titanium Stamping
Titanium offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Its strength and corrosion resistance rival those of aluminum, and its lightweight characteristics make it highly popular for military, architectural, and aerospace applications. Additionally, titanium is biocompatible, meaning it is resistant to corrosion from bodily fluids and ideal for use in the medical industry. Common titanium deep drawn metal parts include landing gear components, fasteners and springs, tubing, and similar components. Hudson Technologies works with a variety of titanium alloy grades, including 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 23.
Monel®
Monel® is a specialty alloy consisting of nickel and cobalt, which gives it increased strength and resistance to both corrosion and extreme temperatures. As a specialty metal, Monel is more expensive than standard alloys and is often only used when other metal materials won’t suffice. Monel is used in more demanding operating conditions, such as those found in chemical processing or the oil and gas industries. Additionally, Monel is widely utilized in the marine industry for critical components like valves, wiring, and piping.
Hastelloy®
Although it is a less common metal material, Hastelloy® is highly valuable for certain applications. Hastelloy alloys consist of various combinations of molybdenum, chromium, and nickel and offer numerous beneficial physical characteristics. With high drawability, excellent resistance chemicals like acid catalysts and halides, and high temperature tolerances, Hastelloy deep drawn metal parts are ideal for certain chemical and processing environments.
Kovar®
Kovar® is a low-expansion, vacuum-melted specialty alloy made from iron, nickel, and cobalt. Popular for manufacturing deep drawn metal parts in the medical industry, Kovar components are used in several medical applications, including laser and X-ray tubes, radiation devices, and hermetic seals. Consistent quality and excellent drawability make Kovar an ideal metal material for deep drawing applications.
Inconel®
As a durable nickel-based metal alloy, Inconel® is used for a wide range of applications. Inconel is highly resistant to corrosion and intense heat, maintaining durability in even the harshest environments. Popular in the aerospace, medical, chemical, automotive, electronics, and marine industries, Inconel is suitable for deep drawn parts including propeller blades and rotors, pressure vessels, and heat exchanger tubing. Hudson Technologies handles Inconel in grades 625 and 718.
Haynes 242
Haynes 242 is a specialty metal alloy consisting of nickel, molybdenum, and chromium. This unique blend results in excellent oxidation resistance and low thermal expansion. Durable under harsh conditions, Haynes 242 is most commonly used in the aerospace industry for deep drawn metal parts like containment and seal rings, pumps, and rocket nozzles.
17-7 PH
17-7 precipitation-hardening stainless steel (17-7 PH) is an alloy of stainless steel offering superior hardness and strength. 17-7 PH is corrosion-resistant, easily formable, and resistant to fatigue and deformation. These traits make this alloy beneficial for chemical processing equipment, power boilers, and durable fasteners and springs, especially in the aerospace, oil and gas, and chemical industries.
