The named steel-stamp lineup includes YC601 LETTER STEEL STAMP, YC609 Low-Stress/Dot-Stress Stamps, and YC610 INTERCHANGABLE STEEL STAMP KIT, alongside the broader letter, number, dot, reverse, and custom stamp families. YC601 Letter Steel Stamps are designed for industrial marking, die stamping, and metalworking and produce clear, right-reading A-Z letter impressions on hard surfaces including un-heat-treated metals, stainless steel, industrial parts, and molds. YC601 uses CR-V (6150) chrome-vanadium steel with dual heat treatment: the character head reaches HRC 58-62 for lasting clear marks, while the striking end is tempered to HRC 38-46 to absorb impact and reduce cracking. A double-bevel design supports visual alignment and precise striking, the font and size are marked on the stamp side for quick identification, and the surface is sandblasted to improve anti-slip grip and durability. The patented stamping guide box uses its lid as a locating tool and its body as the carrier: inserting the stamp through a lid hole keeps the stamp vertically aligned and flush with the workpiece, reducing the need to hold the stamp by hand while striking. That guide-box design is intended to address three practical issues at once, providing alignment guidance, keeping the user's hand away from the hammer impact point, and producing more consistent marking depth as the stamp drops vertically and sits flat against the surface. The YC601 guide case also includes a viewing window for easier positioning, can be rotated freely through 360° without a directional limit, and uses a patented PP three-hole locating lid that holds each stamp upright and square to the workpiece during striking. Marking is performed one character at a time, and the three-hole arrangement is designed around the lid shape rather than for simultaneous three-character stamping. YC601 sizes span character heights from 1.0mm (3/64") to 19.0mm (3/4"), with listed models YC601-1, YC601-1.5, YC601-2, YC601-2.5, YC601-3, YC601-4, YC601-5, YC601S-6, YC601-6, YC601-7, YC601S-8, YC601-8, YC601-10, YC601-12, YC601-16, and YC601-19. Across these sizes, listed square-shank dimensions range from 6.35mm to 19.05mm and listed shank lengths range from 60mm to 98mm, with 16mm and 19mm character sizes supplied in blow-molded BMC packaging. The company also states that chrome-vanadium steel is heat-treated to 58-62 HRC for resistance to chipping and repeated striking, while character depth and edge sharpness are precisely controlled to produce full, clear impressions without burrs. For customized programs, Young Cycle offers OEM/ODM collaboration for custom logos and special patterns made to customer requirements, extending the standard stamp families into customer-specific marking content. The patented functional lid can also act as a support seat, providing an alternative to hand-held striking and supporting deeper, more even marks while keeping the user's hands away from the striking point. Taken together, the YC product range supports industrial identification and traceability through standard A-Z letter stamps, number, dot, reverse, low-stress or dot-stress formats, interchangeable kits, and OEM/ODM custom patterns, with patented positioning hardware intended to improve alignment, safety, and consistency during manual striking.
Company profile
Young Cycle Industrial Co., Ltd. is a Taiwan-based specialist in steel-stamp manufacturing, founded in Taichung in 1986 and focused on the field for roughly four decades. The company markets worldwide under the YC brand, with a range that covers letter, number, dot, and reverse steel stamps as well as OEM/ODM custom production. Material selection, production, and piece-by-piece inspection are controlled in-house, and the company states that every stamp is checked through a visual-recognition system before shipment to prevent duplicate characters. Young Cycle traces its development to a 1986 founding idea centered on durable, sharply engraved, dependable steel stamps, with investment in selected materials, rigorous manufacturing processes, and individual inspection even when the market was strongly price-driven. After first building customer trust in its local market, the company expanded internationally, and YC-brand steel stamps are now exported to the United States, Central and South America, Europe, Asia, and other markets. Through direct exports and domestic and overseas trading partners, YC steel stamps are marketed in more than 100 countries, with shipments by sea and air freight and official storefronts on Alibaba and Taiwantrade for inquiries. The company's patented stamp-guide-box technology is protected by invention patents in Taiwan, the United States, France, and Vietnam and utility-model patents in Germany and China, forming a six-country patent and utility-model portfolio. Named patent records include Taiwan Invention No. I765831, USA US 12,251,947, and Vietnam No. 59417. For steel material, Young Cycle identifies SAE 6150 spheroidized chrome-vanadium alloy steel supplied by China Steel Corporation in Taiwan, with an EN 10204:2004 Type 3.1 mill test certificate and stated key composition of C 0.50%, Cr approximately 1.0%, and V approximately 0.16%. The company also describes continuous production and ready stock as a way to avoid waiting for a new order before manufacturing and to support shipment in the shortest possible time.
