Benefits — Dimensional
Precision Flowforming is capable of dimensional accuracies well beyond other forming methods. Since flowforming tooling is subject to little or no wear, the CNC controlled process offers consistent and repeatable accuracies part to part, lot to lot.
PRECISION: The all-around dimensional controls for diameters and walls offered by precision flowforming will reduce or eliminate your need for secondary turning, grinding and honing operations.
- The high degree of roundness, straightness and concentricity achievable by our flowforming process will often reduce or eliminate the necessity for straightening and balancing your finished component.
- The very fine surface finishes generated by flowforming on the inner and outer diameters will, in most cases, also void your requirement for honing and/or polishing.
THIN walls: Precision flowforming can generate economically and without difficulty your very thin and precise wall thicknesses regardless of the diameter size of the component. If you have had to contend with the difficulties and costs of managing the deflection of a thin metal body under turning or grinding operations, you will come to greatly appreciate our precision flowforming process.
varied WALLs: Unlike any other type of forming process (i.e. extruding, forging, impact extruding, deep drawing, pilgering, drawn over mandrel, etc.), flowforming can vary the wall thickness of a component at any place and as many times as desired along the length of the flowformed component without additional cost.
HARDENED METALS: Flowforming offers you the unique possibility of forming to size a pre-hardened workpiece, thus eliminating the difficulties and high costs associated with final machining, grinding and honing of a hardened and distorted hollow component. Our precision flowforming method of manufacturing, allows us to achieve high dimensional accuracies and at the same time guarantee conformance to your required mechanical properties right off the flowforming machine.
