Due to the cost of hard tooling for stamping and fine blanking, significant volume is required to justify the expense.

The advantages of fine blanking are:

Application areas are stamping, deep drawing, cold extrusion, fine blanking, cold forging, form pressing and rolling.

Fine blanking is a specialized form of blanking where there is no fracture zone when shearing.

TPI produces CRCA strips including special extra deep drawing, high tensile, medium carbon, high carbon finding application in industries such as Bearings, Automobile, Auto Ancillaries, white goods, fine blanking and General Engineering.
