Metal spinning is a versatile forming process utilized for creating axially symmetric components across various industries. It involves rotating a pre-sized metal disk at high speeds while applying force to shape it using specialized spinning tools. When considering your metal spinning project, it’s crucial to understand the range of metals available.
We’ve previously walked through our 7 Design Tips for Your Metal Spinning Project and today we are taking a more in-depth look at what materials are common and not so common. At Excell, we offer a diverse selection of common and uncommon materials, each with its unique properties, uses, and industries they serve. Let’s explore them:
At first glance these materials may look similar, but as you can see each offers its own characteristics and performance enhancements. It is important that your projects application and needs are assessed before choosing a material to ensure the best outcome, this can be done by collaborating with your metal spinners.
At Excell, our team is ready to help you choose the right materials and tooling for your project for your production parts. We will be able to make recommendations to maximize both quality and your cost savings.
As a leading expert in the field of Metal Spinning, and the leading organization in the UK Metal Spinning Industry, Excell’s services have been widely sought after worldwide. With the vast skills and knowledge required, we can ensure quality products are delivered on time and to your requirements!
