The material types of stamping die include steel, cemented carbide, steel-bonded cemented carbide, zinc-based alloy, low melting point alloy, aluminum bronze, polymer materials, etc.
At present, the materials of stamping die are mainly steel, and the common types are carbon tool steel, low alloy tool steel, high carbon and high chromium, medium carbon alloy steel, high-speed steel, basic steel, cemented carbide, steel-bonded cemented carbide, etc.

Advantages of stamping die:
1. The number of parts completed per unit time of the stamping die is several times, or even hundreds to thousands of times, of the general treatment method. Moreover, the stamping process can be combined on a set of molds to further improve production efficiency.
2. The products produced by the stamping die have the characteristics of stable quality, strong mechanical properties, tight structure, good interchangeability, good wear resistance, conducive to maintenance and mass production.
3. High utilization rate of stamping die materials, can use a variety of layout methods, such as, cross, oblique, multi-row, mixing, overcutting, etc., can reduce the material cost of the product.
4. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to heat the material during the stamping process, which not only saves energy, reduces the occupation of heating equipment and site, but also avoids the oxidation, burn and deformation of the product surface caused by heating.
5. Stamping die is widely used, can solve the general processing method can not or difficult to complete the operation, especially suitable for thin, soft, difficult, micro parts processing.
