Types of Custom Aluminum Stamped Parts
Aluminum stamping can produce components with different shapes, profiles, and functional features.
Depending on the drawing and confirmed material specification, component configurations we can evaluate include:
Aluminum Brackets and Formed Supports
Custom aluminum brackets and supports can incorporate mounting holes, bends, flanges, and other formed features.
Important considerations include material thickness, bend radius, hole positioning, and dimensional requirements.
Aluminum Mounting Plates and Panels
Stamped aluminum plates and panels may include punched openings, mounting points, slots, and formed edges.
Flatness, hole positions, and assembly compatibility are important during manufacturing evaluation.
Aluminum Covers and Housings
Custom aluminum covers and housings are designed according to component dimensions, protection requirements, and assembly interfaces.
Their manufacturing requirements may include formed edges, mounting features, controlled dimensions, and surface appearance.
Custom Aluminum Formed Components
Some OEM components require multiple stamping and forming operations to achieve their final geometry.
The appropriate manufacturing method depends on the part design, material condition, thickness, and production volume.
Manufacturing Processes for Aluminum Components
Different aluminum stamped parts require different manufacturing methods.
Techsun evaluates component geometry, material characteristics, and production volume to select a suitable process.
Aluminum Blanking and Punching
Blanking and punching create the external profile and functional openings of aluminum components.
Punch-to-die clearance, material thickness, and tooling condition are considered to achieve suitable edge quality and dimensional accuracy.
Aluminum Bending and Forming
Bending and forming create flanges, mounting surfaces, angled sections, and other functional features.
Material temper, grain direction, bend radius, and springback are considered during process planning.
Progressive Die Aluminum Stamping
For components requiring multiple stamping operations, progressive die tooling can combine blanking, punching, bending, and forming into a continuous manufacturing process.
Tooling design depends on component geometry, material characteristics, strip layout, and production volume.

Aluminum Deep Drawing
Selected aluminum alloys and tempers may be suitable for components requiring hollow or recessed geometries.
Material ductility, drawing depth, wall thickness, and corner radii must be evaluated before selecting a deep drawing process.
For detailed information, visit our Deep Drawing Metal Stamping Services page.
Secondary Operations and Assembly
Depending on the component design and customer requirements, aluminum stamped parts may require additional manufacturing operations.
Techsun can evaluate integrated manufacturing solutions that may include:
- CNC bending
- TIG, MIG, spot, and laser welding where compatible with the specified material and joint design
- Riveting and PEM fastening
- Mechanical assembly
- Surface finishing according to project specifications
The appropriate secondary operations are determined by the finished component design, material characteristics, and assembly requirements.
Quality Inspection for Aluminum Stamped Parts
Techsun follows drawing-based inspection procedures to verify that manufactured components meet agreed project requirements.
Incoming Material Verification
Material specifications, thickness, surface condition, and available material documentation are checked against customer requirements.
First Article Inspection
Initial samples are evaluated against approved drawings, with attention to critical dimensions, hole positions, formed features, and overall geometry.
In-Process Inspection
Key dimensions and visible defects are monitored during production according to the agreed inspection plan.
Final Inspection
Finished parts are checked according to agreed dimensional, burr, surface appearance, and packaging requirements.
Dimensional inspection reports and material documentation can be provided according to project requirements.
Aluminum Materials and Specifications
Material selection influences the formability, strength, surface condition, and dimensional performance of aluminum stamped components.
Techsun reviews the material grade and temper specified on customer drawings before confirming manufacturing feasibility.
Aluminum Alloy and Temper
Different aluminum grades and tempers have different mechanical and forming characteristics.
For example, when a drawing specifies 5053 aluminum, the material designation, temper, thickness, and forming requirements must be reviewed together.
Other aluminum grades can be evaluated according to the customer’s specification, material availability, and component geometry.
Material Thickness
Material thickness influences tooling design, forming force, dimensional control, and the final component structure.
The appropriate stamping equipment and manufacturing process are selected according to the drawing and production requirements.
Surface and Appearance Requirements
For components with visible surfaces, scratches, handling marks, and tooling contact should be considered during process planning.
Any additional surface treatment requirements should be confirmed against the approved specifications.
For more information about aluminum grades and material characteristics, see our Aluminum Stamping Services page.
