The Power of One-Piece Construction: How Weld-Free Metal Parts Improve Strength and Outperform Traditional Fabrication
The Power of One-Piece Construction At Toledo Metal Spnning Company, we have been forming metals since 1929. With nearly a century of experience, we have mastered a wide range of processes including laser cutting, metal spinning, deep drawing, machining, rolling and seam welding, to build strong and durable high-performance parts. But what truly sets us
The History of Deep Drawing
What is Deep Drawing? Deep Draw forming with conventional tool and die technology is the conforming of sheet metal, commonly referred to as a blank, around a plug in either a hydraulic or mechanical press. The edges of the blank are restrained yet allowed to slide by a precise pressure between two tool surfaces; normally in
What is Hydroforming?
What is Hydroforming? Hydroforming is a metal forming process where complex and structurally sound parts with tight tolerances that can be made from various metals. A water-based fluid force, oil, gas, or a flexible elastic polymer membrane, is highly pressurized up to 10,000 PSi is applied onto a piece of metal, or blank, to change
The Draw Ratio
Clarifying Elements to the Deep Draw Design Process – The Draw Ratio When it comes to tool design, the most important formula is The Draw Ratio, also known as Limiting Draw Ratio (LDR). The formula is: LDR = D / d D = blank diameter d = cup ID or punch diameter This ratio shows
What is the Difference between Deep Drawing and Hydroforming?
What are the differences of Deep Drawing and Hydroforming? Hydroforming is a specialized Deep Drawing process also known as Sheet Hydroforming. Sheet hydroforming allows various materials to become complex and structurally sound parts. It allows for asymmetrical or irregular shaped geometries, while conventional Deep Drawn parts are symmetrical and uniform throughout the entire shape. Another
Deep Drawing VS Metal Stamping
The Difference Between Deep Drawing and Stamping Deep Drawing and Stamping are similar manufacturing processes that are often confused with one another. Each process produces strong and durable parts with high accuracy and tolerances. Deep Drawing and Stamping each require a design process, with considerations of how the materials will affect the manufacturing process, production
Deep Drawing and Stamping with Copper
Deep Drawing and Stamping with Copper Deep Drawing is one of our most popular processes at Toledo Metal Spinning Company. We are able to run large numbers of parts in a short amount of time, with extreme accuracy and precision. Copper has great malleability, meaning it can be stretched without breaking, which is ideal for Deep
Deep Drawing and Stamping With Aluminum
Deep Drawing and Stamping With Aluminum Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in the world. Typical aluminum applications:Â 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 and Stamping with Stainless Steel
Deep Drawing and Stamping with Stainless Steel Stainless Steels are the ‘easiest’ materials for us to deep draw and stamp. The most common gauge we press is 304, followed by 316. This is because Stainless Steel 304 is less expensive than other alloys, has excellent corrosion resistance, and value. It is very easy to sanitize,
Deep Drawing VS Press Forming
The Difference of Deep Drawing and Press Forming It is commonly misunderstood that Deep Drawing and Press Forming are two different processes. Many do not know that deep drawing is a type of press forming! Press forming as, a broad term, involves drawing a sheet of metal into a specific shape using hydraulic or mechanical
Deep Drawing 101
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,
