I have a part currently being waterjet cut from sheet stock 3/16" thick. Can anyone enlighten me to the problems we would experience in stamping these parts in a die? we have the press, the technology, and the orders for increasing capacity by stamping versus cutting.
 
cobra427,
what material, size, tolerance and quantity required you're looking at?

Best regards,
ct
 
Cobra 427,

my company makes tool steel and one of the biggest problems our customers have with aluminium is cold welding.

We use coatings for this nowadays.

Regards
Richard
