Industrial uses of spinnings and stamped/drawn parts are numerous. TMS can spin up to 3/16” stainless steel. The company can also draw up to a 48” blank. Heavy conical shapes, large cylinders, thick cups and hemispheres are found on the shop floor at TMS on a daily basis.
Metal fabrication is essential for manufacturing nearly all equipment, infrastructure, and machinery required for oil exploration, extraction, and refining. These processes demand exceptionally durable metal applications designed to withstand harsh environments and long-term use. This process involves shaping metals into essential components such as pipes, storage tanks, drilling equipment, and offshore platform structures using techniques like rolling, welding, metal spinning, stamping, bending, and machining.
Secondary Metal Fabrication Processes At TMS, our secondary metal forming processes consist of: Beading and Edge Rolling Trimming Welding Metal Finishing and Polishing Each process can be done manually or automated, depending on the part. Beading and Edge Rolling Beading is very similar to edge rolling. During the beading process, a radius is added to
Importance of Craftsmanship in the Oil and Gas Industry Metal Forming in the oil industry Metal forming is used to create nearly all of the equipment and infrastructure in the oil industry. Metal forming refers to the process of shaping metals into various shapes and components such as pipes, storage tanks, drilling equipment, and offshore
All You Need to Know About flanging Flanging: A Technical Definition Flanging is bending the metal of a surface, whether it is a blank, sheet metal, funnel, or a cylindrical shape, to a 90 degree angle. This is done by metal spinning or deep drawing a flange into the application, or by utilizing a flanging
What is Seam Welding? Seam welding is the process of joining two similar or different materials together, at the seam, by electronic current and pressure. The gap creates an electrical resistance between the materials, which causes them to heat up at the seam. This process is most common with metals, because they conduct electricity easily,
Laser Cutting 101 What is laser cutting and how does it work? The laser beam is a heat source which can melt metals rather quickly. When the concentrated beam comes into contact with the material, in this case, metal, the beam’s energy is absorbed into the metal, causing it to melt. However, the laser beam
Deep Drawing and Stamping With Aluminum Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in the world. Typical aluminum applications: Beverage Cans Kitchen Appliances Automobile frames Aircraft and Spacecraft Components Televisions and Computers Cooking Utensils Aluminum is very durable, yet lighter in weight compared to other metals. Because of this, you can find aluminum
Deep Drawing: Key Variables Impacting Metal Flow Common Materials Used at Toledo Metal Spinning Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Steel Copper Brass Aluminum Key Variables and Parameters for a Successful Deep Draw Blank Size Material Thickness Part Shape Part Geometry Draw Radii Draw Ratio Lubricants Die Surface Finish Die Temperature Draw Bead Height Draw Bead Shape
The Basics of Sheet Metal Forming with a Hydraulic Press What is the Deep Drawing Metal Forming Process? Deep drawing is a popular manufacturing process as compared to others because of its ability to form a one-piece construction, rather than turning to welding, or a multi-piece assembly involving multiple step processes. It is more timely,
