Flow forming sheet metal.

Using flow punch forming technology the flowform screw causes the sheet metal to heat using a combination of axial force and relatively high screwdriver speed. We form one piece component shapes which nobody else can. Sheet metal forming involves forming and cutting operations performed on metal sheets strips and coils. 3d cad files are converted into machine code which controls a machine to precisely cut and form the sheets into the final part.

Sheet metal fabrication is the process of forming parts from a metal sheet by punching cutting stamping and bending. Classification of basic sheet forming processes bending deep drawing shearing. Metal spinning and flow forming have noteworthy differences in the initial blank or preform used mainly because the final workpiece produced by each process has different requirements. Tools include punch die that are used to deform the sheets.

The roller deforms the workpiece forcing it against the mandrel both axially lengthening and radially thinning it. Precision metal forming as the world s premier flowforming manufacturer pmf can produce component shapes beyond the means of conventional metal forming at a more economical price. The surface area to volume ratio of the starting metal is relatively high. Once the material has been penetrated the polygonal shape of the screw forms a metric female thread.

Steel technology has advanced to increasing the possibilities for this lower cost material flow forming sheet metal and wenzel metal spinning is interested in working with our customers to find the best way this very versatile material can work for you. Flow forming is an incremental metal forming technique in which a disk or tube of metal is formed over a mandrel by one or more rollers using tremendous pressure.
