Copper Material for Stamped Parts
Copper is a common material used in the production of precision stamped parts. Popularly used in many industries, copper's characteristics make it an ideal material to use for a number of applications. We offer copper as a material for a number of stamped parts.
Copper Characteristics
Copper has many characteristics that make it an ideal material to use for precision stamping. See what copper can offer when it comes to this process.
- Outstanding Electrical Conductivity: Copper is perfect for electrical contacts, connectors, and circuit components since it is one of the best electrical conductors.
- Better Heat Conductivity: Copper is a popular material for applications needing thermal management, such heat sinks and HVAC components, because it dissipates heat efficiently.
- Corrosion Resistance: Long-term endurance is ensured by copper's resistance to corrosion in a variety of conditions, including exposure to air, moisture, and certain chemicals.
- Ductility and Malleability: Because copper is so pliable, it may be used to create delicate motifs and complicated shapes in stamped parts without breaking or cracking.
- Alloy Versatility: For specific uses, copper alloys like bronze (copper-tin) and brass (copper-zinc) offer improved machinability, strength, or resistance to wear.
- Recyclable Material: Copper is an environmentally friendly material since it can be recycled 100% of the time without losing its qualities.
Quality Assurance
At Wiegel, quality is our utmost priority. We conduct a feasibility review on the part to ensure manufacturability at the start of every program. A run-at-rate study is also implemented on the first run to ensure quality before large-scale production. This enables our quality and production management teams to monitor controls closely and make sure jobs run smoothly. Manufacturing continues once testing checks out, and the first batch of conforming parts is produced.
Our quality management system is comprised of sophisticated quality technology and controls, continuous improvement programs and a superior quality laboratory and management team. Throughout our production plant, we deploy camera vision systems and sensor technology, in which we design and fabricate unique to every production program. Our vision system technology operates in coordination with our stamping production machinery to thoroughly inspect and identify part features and dimensions with automated camera imaging. This quality control process ensures every part produced with our stamping equipment always yields 100% quality and zero defects.
Power your application more effectively with high-performing busbars from Wiegel. With a dedicated team, innovative equipment, and superior quality control, we provide exceptional services tailored to each customer’s unique needs.
