Blanking

Blanking is the process of creating a flat, geometric shape (or “blank”) through feeding a coil of material into a press and die.

Blanking can cut materials into most 2D shapes, but is most commonly used to cut material into simple geometries that will be shaped in subsequent processes. Oftentimes multiple sheets are blanked in a single operation. Blanked parts typically require secondary finishing to smooth out burrs along the bottom edge.

Our blanking services give our customers the opportunity to save on shipping costs by only sending the net weight and leaving the rest behind. This also saves you time as it cuts down on steel that you end up scrapping during your first operation.

National Material is eager to serve our existing customer base with metallurgists on staff and our team of service experts. Our goal is to continue our combined legacy of excellence and innovation by providing value from start to finish.
