These options allow users to select the style of stamp that best fits their application.
Sharp face - Sharp face characters leave a sunk impression or indent when stamped and are the most popular character style for marking metals.
Low stress - Low stress marks are created using either round characters or dot characters. This style reduces the amount of stress placed on the part during the stamping process which serves to maintain the integrity of the part. There are a number of industries (aerospace, oil and gas, piping) that specify low stress marking for all of their components.
Reverse - Typically used for stamping molds and forging dies, reverse characters read “right” on the blank, while standard characters appear backward.
Flat face - Flat face characters create a bold impression and are typically used in forging, branding applications, and hot stamping with foil.
For the majority of applications, visibility is an important factor, so metal letter stamps also come in a variety of character sizes, most commonly 3/32”, 1/8”, 5/32", 3/16”, 1/4”, and 3/8.”
The Advantages of Steel
Steel is the ideal construction material for metal letter stamps because it is highly durable. Stamps must withstand repeated striking while creating a clear impression on the material being marked.
Steel stands up very well to repeated impact and the pressure of stamping and provides users with a long service life.
Another advantage of steel stamps is the quality of the mark itself. Metal stamps create very clear, crisp, deep marks when properly used. Since the marks are clear and the surface is permanently marked, metal stamps are often used to mark parts in industrial settings.
Steel is also cost-effective, allowing users to commission custom stamps in low quantities more economically.
