Applications and Industries Utilizing Custom Metal Stampings

The metal stamping manufacturing process plays a vital role across all industries due to its ability to rapidly produce high-quality precision components. Using state-of-the-art technology and over 100 years of experience, AMG works closely with our clients to develop cost-effective solutions that can replace or complement machined parts used throughout a vast range of industries and applications.

The Benefits of Metal Stamping Across Industries

With the help of experienced engineers, lean manufacturing, and a deep understanding of the specifications and desired outcomes, custom metal stampings provide several advantages over other manufacturing techniques. By applying the latest advancements in stamping simulation, we can create custom stamping solutions with reduced lead times, improved material utilization, lower labor requirements, and consistent quality throughout high-volume production requirements.

Automotive and Transportation

The automotive and transportation industry has enjoyed the many benefits of metal stamping as early as the 1890s, when a German manufacturer began using custom metal stampings in the production of bicycles. Its unique, cost-effective ability to rapidly produce large volumes of high-quality components revolutionized industrial manufacturing. Recent innovations in metallurgy and metal stamping processes further reduce costs with improved strength-to-weight ratios, tighter tolerance capabilities, and greater fabrication efficiency. 

Agriculture and Off Road

Highly specialized stamping processes, such as progressive die stamping, use the latest technology to fabricate complex components from a single sheet of metal. This is particularly beneficial for durable components used within axle, transmission, and exhaust assemblies for agricultural and off-road applications. With careful design considerations, metal stamping can reduce or replace the need for machining services. This helps lower costs by reducing material waste and labor requirements while increasing production speed and efficiency.

Power Generation and Transmission

Metal stamping is widely used throughout the power generation and distribution industries due to its lower lead times and scalability. When restoring power to storm rashished areas, for example, production on vital components must ramp up to quickly meet increased demand and just as quickly return to normal to prevent overstock complications. As a one-stop shop with comprehensive capabilities, AMG ensures on-time delivery of high-quality components for time-sensitive applications.

Military

Reliable quality and precision are paramount in any application used to support our armed forces. Maintaining a strict ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system (QMS) and cutting-edge inspection equipment is key to ensuring these vital components meet all quality requirements and specifications. Expert design support and a thorough understanding of our client’s expectations allow us to prevent quality issues and ensure absolute precision.

Medical

Nickel alloys, steel alloys, and titanium are widely used in custom metal stampings for medical applications due to their high strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. The same properties that make these exotic metals ideal for the medical industry also make them particularly difficult and costly to machine. Metal stamping, however, provides a cost-effective solution through progressive high-speed dies, which are capable of reaching tight tolerances within specialty alloys.

The Versatility of Custom Metal Stampings

Metal stamping’s extensive capabilities allow for a staggering range of applications across all industries, from small components used in medical device manufacturing to complex assemblies used in power generation. AMG works closely with our clients, developing a complete understanding of their requirements and producing rapid results that exceed expectations.
