Progressive Die Stamping of a Heat Shield for the Automotive Industry

The automotive heat shield shown here was engineered for high-performance use in a turbocharger application. Due to the extreme thermal environments of engine manifolds, the component was manufactured from 321-stainless steel for its superior durability, strength, and heat dissipation characteristics. As a specialized provider of automotive metal stamping services, Aranda Tooling delivers the precision required for critical engine-area components.

High-Volume 321-Stainless Steel Stamping & Turbocharger Component Manufacturing

Manufacturing this component required high-precision progressive die stamping on a 200-ton punch press. The finished shield cover features an outside diameter of 83.44mm and a height of 23.57mm, held to tight tolerances of ±0.075mm. To meet stringent OEM quality standards, every part undergoes integrated laser etching. This barcode includes the date of manufacture, serial number, and vendor code, ensuring full batch traceability throughout the supply chain.

Today, we produce over 100,000 of these stainless steel heat shields annually,
maintaining consistent quality across massive production runs. Our ability to handle specialized alloys like 321-stainless while maintaining high throughput makes us a preferred partner for complex automotive programs.
