Clean Edge Blanking

Clean-Edge® Blanking is the process of stamping high-tensile, pre-tempered material to create a maximum edge condition with minimal shear and controlled breakage. This process reduces stress risers on the blanked edge, thus highly increasing fatigue life.

Process advantages of Clean-Edge® Blanking
