Metal Spinning delivers high-performance, expertly crafted parts that meet your exact specifications. 

Also called spin forming, metal spinning shapes metal into axially symmetric parts by rotating a flat blank on a lathe and applying the right amount of pressure. The result is the exact piece you need—a precise, durable shape that completes your project.

Metal Spinning produces high-quality parts quickly and without breaking the budget. This metalworking process offers:

What is metal spinning?

Metal spinning is a metalworking process that uses a lathe to rotate a metal disc or tube and shape it into an axially symmetric part by applying localized pressure. This method is used to produce a variety of shapes, including cones, cylinders, and hemispheres, without welding or seams.

What materials can be spun?

A broad range of materials can undergo the metal spinning process:

  • Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for automotive and aerospace applications.
  • Brass and Copper: Excellent for decorative and conductive parts.
  • Stainless Steel and Carbon Steel: Offers superior strength and durability, suitable for industrial applications.
  • Specialty Alloys: Such as Inconel and Hastelloy, used in high-performance and high-temperature environments.

 

How does metal spinning compare to other forming processes?

Metal spinning is often more cost-effective and versatile than stamping or casting. It is ideal for producing symmetrical parts with smooth surfaces and can achieve tighter tolerances than some other methods. Additionally, it offers lower tooling costs and quicker lead times.

What shapes and sizes can be achieved?

Metal spinning can create a variety of shapes including:

  • Conical: Tapered parts like funnels and cones.
  • Cylindrical: Tubes and cylinders.
  • Hemispherical: Domes and rounded parts.

We can handle parts up to 102 inches in diameter and possibly up to 0.50 inches in material thickness.

What tolerances can be achieved with metal spinning?

Tolerances for metal spinning can range from 0.015" to 0.250". Tighter tolerances can be achieved depending on the material and part specifications. We work closely with customers to meet specific tolerance requirements for their applications.

Can metal spinning be combined with other processes?

Yes, metal spinning can be integrated with other metal-forming processes such as:

  • Hydroforming: For complex shapes.
  • Machining: For precision details.
  • Welding: For assembly of multi-part components.
What industries use metal spinning?

Our metal spinning services cater to a wide range of industries, including:

  • Aerospace & Defense: Components like heat shields and combustion chambers.
  • HVAC / Air movement: Components like reducers, fan panels, duct fittings.
  • Agriculture: Cab parts, exhaust parts, and grain handling parts for equipment.
  • Automotive: Parts like wheel rims and hubcaps.
  • Food Processing: Equipment like kettles and fryers.
  • Energy: Components for oil & gas, nuclear, and renewable energy sectors.
  • Medical: Parts for MRI machines and other medical devices.
What are the lead times for metal spinning projects?

Lead times for metal spinning projects can vary based on the complexity and volume of the order. However, our efficient process typically allows for turnaround times ranging from a few weeks for small runs to several weeks for larger, more complex orders.

Do you offer prototyping services?

Yes, we offer prototyping services to help you develop and refine your designs before committing to full-scale production. Our prototyping capabilities ensure that your final product meets all specifications and performance criteria.
