This document discusses stamping as an efficient and low-cost manufacturing process, particularly for automotive parts where 70% are stamped. It outlines key areas where stamping is used like automotive components, household equipment, and miscellaneous goods. The document also describes the different types of lubricants used in stamping like mill oils, blank wash oils, and spot lubricants as well as recent developments in stamping lubricants including hydroforming lubricants, dry film lubricants, and water-based fluids.
