Hot Spinning

Heating the workpiece extends what spinning can do: heavier walls, harder alloys, and the ability to close a tube down into a neck.

Neck forming shapes and reduces the diameter of a tube or container while the metal is hot, which is how gas cylinders, pressure vessels, and cylinder liners get their closed ends.

  • Designed to support

    • Aluminum liners for Type-3 composite cylinders

    • High pressure gas cylinders

    • Domes and end caps

    • Conical and shear formed sections

  • Used For

    Parts that cannot be formed cold, and any part that has to be closed at one or both ends.
