Metal Spinning
Metal spinning, commonly known as spin forming or metal turning is a metalworking process by which a disc or tube of metal is rotated at high speed and formed into an axially symmetric part. Spinning can be performed by hand or by a CNC lathe. Metal spinning does not involve removal of material, as in traditional metal turning, but forming (molding) of sheet material over an existing shape.
Typical applications include:
- Rocket Nose Cones
- Cookware
- Gas Cylinders
- Brass Instrument Bells
- Public Waste Receptacles
- Ductile Metal
