What is metal spinning?

metal spinning process

Metal spinning is a metalworking process used to make axially symmetrical hollow parts by rotating tubes, pipes, or discs with high speed and deforming over a pre-shaped mold by applying force. This process does not remove metal from the part. It uses a lathe machine, CNC, or rotating machine to clamp and rotate the parts. … Read more

What is Hardening

Heating of metal for hardening process

What is Hardening? Hardening is a metallurgical metalworking process used to increase the hardness of a metal. The process starts with the heating of metal at a critical transformation temperature and quenches in a molten salt bath/water. Hypoeutectoid steels are heated from 30 to 50-degree c above Upper Critical Temperature (UCT), while hypereutectoid steel heats … Read more
