Deep Drawing 101 Why Deep Drawing? One of the main reasons we choose deep drawing over other manufacturing processes is to keep a one-piece construction, rather than turning to welding, or a multi-piece assembly involving multiple step processes. It is more timely, cost-effective, and efficient to utilize our deep draw presses. To classify a part
Deep Drawing VS Press Forming What is 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
Why is Metal Recycling Important? Metal Recycling has a Positive Impact on the Environment Recycling reduces the amount of waste that goes into landfills, and reduces the need to mine for new materials, which helps to reduce our carbon footprint. To put it in perspective, mining destroys the environment, large parts of mountain ranges and
Deep Drawing: Key Variables Impacting Metal Flow Material Type Materials we use at Toledo Metal Spinning include: Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Steel Copper Brass Aluminum Some of the most important aspects of Deep Drawing are as follows: Blank Size Material Thickness Part Shape Part Geometry Draw Radii Draw Ratio Lubricants Die Surface Finish Die Temperature
Deep Drawing and Stamping With Aluminum Aluminum Aluminum is one of the most commonly used metals in the world. Some of the most typical uses are seen in: Beverage Cans Kitchen Appliances Automobile frames Aircraft and Spacecraft Components Televisions and Computers Cooking Utensils Aluminum Foil Aluminum is very durable, yet lighter in weight compared to
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,
All You Need to Know About flanging A technical definition of flanging 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
