History and Future Outlook of Hot Stamping

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Hot stamping can be traced back to traditional Japanese sword making techniques of thirteenth–fourteenth centuries [1]. The earliest patent about “Preßhärten” (Press hardening) was granted in 1914 in Switzerland. The technique described in this patent has been used in agricultural products since 1930s [2]. Hot stamping, as we know it today differs from these applications since the quenching is done at the press die to reduce distortion. Although hot stamping has been commonly used since early to mid-2000s, the beginning was in 1970s.
