What Is Steel Blanking?

Steel Blanking

Steel blanking is a metalworking process used to cut out flat, pre-determined shapes from a sheet or coil of flat rolled steel. In this process, the steel sheet is fed into a press machine equipped with a die, which shears the material into precise, uniform blanks-flat pieces of steel that are typically used as the starting point for further manufacturing operations like stamping, forming, or assembly.

The advantages include improved efficiency, accuracy, and reduced material waste by ensuring specified cuts to maximize the number of blanks that can be cut from a single piece of metal. This can streamline production while saving costs. The steel blanking process is used in various industries, including automotive, appliance, and construction.;
