The punch, as a core precision component of stamping dies, is a hard and sharp tool used in industrial production to achieve precise cutting. It is typically made of high-hardness, high-wear-resistant materials such as high-speed steel and tungsten carbide, and its shape is usually a slender cylinder or a specially designed irregular cylinder depending on the processing requirements.
Its core function is precise and direct: at the moment the mold closes, it uses immense impact force, like a precise "nail," to rapidly punch holes or specific shapes into metal sheets. Its working environment is extremely demanding—it instantaneously withstands enormous impact force, shear force, and frictional heat, therefore requiring almost stringent requirements for dimensional accuracy, hardness, toughness, and surface finish.
