Blanking

By die cutting a part’s exterior shape, the process of “blanking” entails punching, cutting, or shearing a piece out of stock into a preset shape. A huge sheet of material is blanked down into manageable pieces for the subsequent stamping operations, such as drawing and forming. A piercing procedure is frequently done in conjunction with the blanking process.

Edge-to-edge tolerances for all Maxsteel blanks at all of our plants in Mississauga, Canada are +/-.010 broad and +/-0.15 length.

The most popular sizes that Maksteel offers range from.0295 ga to.375 ga. Aluminum, carbon steel, stainless steel, and other ferrous and nonferrous metals are also available.
