Low-Volume Irregularly Shaped Steel Stampings Using 16MnCr5 Alloy, 0.5mm Tolerance
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, established in 1998 and located in Hengshui, Hebei, China, is a professional manufacturer specializing in custom metal stamping solutions. With an annual export value exceeding US$5 million and serving markets across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond, we bring decades of expertise to every project. Our Low-Volume Irregularly Shaped Steel Stampings Using 16MnCr5 Alloy are designed for clients who require precision, reliability, and flexibility in small batch production. The use of 16MnCr5 alloy ensures excellent hardenability and wear resistance, while our strict control of ±0.5mm tolerance guarantees consistent quality even for complex geometries.
These stampings are ideal for automotive components, machinery parts, and industrial equipment where irregular shapes and low volumes are common. We understand that not every project needs high-volume runs—our process is optimized for low-quantity orders without sacrificing precision or cost-efficiency. By leveraging advanced stamping dies and skilled craftsmanship, we deliver parts that meet your exact specifications.
Key Features & Specifications
- Material: 16MnCr5 (DIN 1.7131) alloy steel – known for high strength, case-hardening capability, and durability under heavy loads.
- Precision Tolerance: ±0.5mm as standard; tighter tolerances available upon request for critical applications.
- Low Volume Flexibility: Minimum order quantity as low as 50 pieces, ideal for prototyping, R&D, or niche production.
- Complex Shapes: Capable of producing irregular contours, deep draws, offset bends, and multi-step geometries.
- Surface Finish: Options include oiled, phosphated, or as-blanked; custom finishes like zinc plating or powder coating available.
- Tooling: We use durable tool steel dies; tooling costs are shared or amortized over the order quantity to keep per-piece costs low.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Material Grade | 16MnCr5 (DIN 1.7131 / EN 10084) |
| Tolerance (dimensional) | ±0.5 mm (standard); custom tolerance available |
| Thickness Range | 0.5 mm – 6.0 mm (customizable) |

| Lead Time | 15–25 working days (depending on complexity) |
Our stamping process combines robust press equipment (from 40 to 400 tons) with precision dies to ensure repeatability. Each part undergoes dimensional inspection using calibrated gauges and CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) when required. The 16MnCr5 alloy, after case hardening, achieves surface hardness of 58–62 HRC, making these stampings suitable for wear-intensive applications.
Advantages for Your Business
- Cost-Effective Low Volumes: No need to commit to huge minimums; we support small prototype runs and medium-scale production equally.
- Material Performance: 16MnCr5 offers excellent core toughness and surface hardness after heat treatment, reducing wear and extending part life.
- Design Flexibility: Irregular shapes are our specialty—send us your 2D or 3D drawings and we will provide a stamping solution.
- Reliable Delivery: Using our factory’s long experience (since 1998) and streamlined logistics, we ship from major Chinese ports (Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Foshan) to global destinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for these stampings?
A: Our minimum order quantity is typically 50 pieces for low-volume runs. However, we can discuss smaller quantities for prototyping. -
Q: Can you achieve tighter tolerances than ±0.5mm?
A: Yes, we can achieve ±0.2mm or even ±0.1mm depending on part geometry and die design. Please specify your requirements. -
Q: Do you provide heat treatment for 16MnCr5 stampings?
A: We offer case hardening, carbonitriding, or other heat treatments as per your specifications. This is an optional service. -
Q: How long does tooling take?
A: Tooling lead time is generally 2–4 weeks, depending on complexity. We use both progressive and single-stage dies. -
Q: What file formats do you accept for drawings?
A: We accept CAD formats (DWG, DXF, STP, IGES) and PDF with dimensions. 3D models are preferred for irregular shapes. -
Q: Can you handle stampings with thickness over 6mm?
A: Yes, for thicker materials we can adjust our press capacity. Please contact us with your specific thickness. -
Q: What surface treatments are available?
A: Common options include oiling, phosphating, black oxide, zinc plating, and powder coating. We can also supply parts as-blanked. -
Q: How do you ensure quality for low-volume orders?
A: We perform first article inspection (FAI) and in-process checks. For critical dimensions, we use CMM reports. All parts are inspected before shipping.
