 PRESS TOOL
STOCK MATERIALS
 STOCK MATERIAL

• The material out of which stampings are made is known as

STOCK MATERIALS.

• Stampings can be made from metallic or non metallic materials.

• Metallic materials include ferrous and non ferrous metals.
• Ferrous metals :
Hot rolled steels
Cold rolled steels
Stainless steels
Spring steels etc.
• Non ferrous metal :
Copper
Brass
Bronze
Aluminum
Tin
Zinc etc.
•Non metallic materials :
Plastic
Rubber
Wood
Cloth
Paper etc.
Forms of stock material

UNIT STOCK
STOCK STRIP
COIL

UNIT STOCK
 Stock materials which are fed individually into the tool for
processing are called unit stock.
STOCK STRIP.
• Stock strips are fed into the tool.
• They are advanced through the required advance distance at
each press stroke for a series of repetitive operations.
PIECE PART
A piece part is a product of a tool.
It may be a complete product in itself one component of a product.
Hot rolled steel sheets

 They are used for manufacturing where scaling and discolouration are
not objectionable.
 The surfaces are painted after operation (if required).

Pickled and oiled sheets

 Immersing hot rolled sheets in acid solutions results in smooth clean

scale free surface.
 Oiling protects the surface against rusting.
 Pickled and oiled sheets are used in the manufacture of parts for
 household appliances, automobile parts. toys etc.
The sheets can take long lasting painting due to the absence of scales.
Medium carbon steels.

 These are hot rolled carbon steels having 0.4 to 0.5% carbon.
 They are hard, tough and resistant to abrasion.

COLD ROLLED SHEETS

 They have a smooth deoxidized finish.

 This provides excellent base for paint lacquer or enamel coating.
 The thickness of the sheet is uniform.
 They are available in six grades of hardness.
 HARD.

 Hard sheets and strips cannot bend in either direction of the grain
without cracks or fracture.
 Such sheets are used for producing flat blanks that require resistance to
bending and wear.
 THREE QUARTER HARD.

Three quarter hard strips can be bend to an angle 60" from flat only
across the grain.
 HALF HARD.

 Half hard steel strips can be bent to 90° across the grain.
 QUARTER HARD.

This can be bent over flat (180°) across the grain and to a sharp right
angle along the grain.
 SOFT.
• Soft grades of steel can be bent over flat (180°) both across and along
the grain direction.
 DEAD SOFT.

This grade of steel is used for severe forming and drawing operations.
DEEP DRAWING STEEL SHEETS.
 They are cold rolled low carbon steels.
 They are thoroughly annealed, deoxidized and oiled.
 Deep drawing steel sheets are used for difficult drawing, spinning and forming
operations.

SILICON STEEL.
 Silicon steel is used for electrical laminations.

STAINLESS STEEL.
They are used where corrosion resistance is a requirement
NON FERROUS METALS:-
 Copper and its alloys are widely used as a stock material.
They are good conductors of heat, electricity and also are highly
non – corrosive.
Copper alloys include:
Beryllium copper Be 2%,Co 3%,Cu 97.7%
Red brass Cu 25%,Zn 15%
Low brass Cu 20%,Zn 20%
Cartridge brass Cu 70%,Zn 30%
Yellow brass Cu 65%,Zbn 35%
Muntz metal Cu 60%,Zn 40%
Phosphorus bronze. Zn 4%,Sn 4%,Cu 27.65%,Pb 35%
OTHER NON FERROUS METALS USED ARE:
Aluminum and Aluminum alloys.
Magnesium and Magnesium alloys.
RARER METALS.
 Rarer metals like zirconium, tantalum, vanadium,
tungsten and
molybdenum and their alloys are used in press working.

PRECIOUS METALS.
 Precious alloy like that of gold, silver, platinum etc. are
used for manufacturing laboratory equipment and for
electrical industry.
CLAD METALS.
 It consists of a core of one metal and a covering layer of dissimilar
metals
PREPARATION OF STOCK.
 In steel mills the metal is formed into large sheets by rolling.

 The sheets are cut into strips in a shearing machine.

 Slitting machines are also used to cut the sheets.
