MATERIAL
Fine Blanking Carbon & Alloy Steel
Carbon and low-alloy steels are the backbone of fine blanking production, chosen for their predictable shear behavior and wide availability across thicknesses and hardness grades.

Process Considerations
- Shear strength and hardness are well characterized, supporting predictable tonnage calculation
- Wide grade selection lets designers balance strength, formability and cost
- Case-hardening grades support parts needing wear-resistant surfaces after blanking
- Compatible with the full HF200–HF1200 range depending on part size and thickness
Common Grades We Process
| Grade | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| C1010–C1050 (Low-Medium Carbon) | General automotive and hardware components |
| SAE 4130 / 4140 (Alloy Steel) | Higher-strength gears and structural parts |
| 16MnCr5 / SCM415 (Case-Hardening) | Gears and wear components requiring surface hardening |
