Steel

The use of steel in stamping punches is common in industries where strength, durability, and precision in the marking process are required. Steel is an alloy primarily made of iron and carbon. It can be further alloyed with other metals to improve its mechanical properties.

Steel stamping punches are appreciated for their hardness and wear resistance. These features are crucial for applications where punches are subjected to high pressure or abrasion during continued use. Steel also offers greater corrosion resistance than other materials, maintaining its structural integrity over time.

Due to its robustness, steel allows the production of stamping punches with precise and repeatable details, ensuring uniform and sharp marking on a variety of materials.

Machining steel to create punches usually requires specialised machine tools to accurately engrave the details required for marking.
