More About the Process
Flow Forming
Flow forming is a metal forming process used to manufacture precision rotationally symmetrical components using rollers and a specially designed mandrel. As the rollers apply controlled pressure, the material is gradually formed to the required shape, allowing for very thin walls, tight dimensional tolerances and an excellent surface finish.
This technology enables the efficient production of tubes, sleeves, housings and other complex components from a variety of metal materials.
Advantages:
- High material utilization
- High process repeatability
- Precision manufacturing
- Ability to produce complex geometries and thin-walled components
Working Range:
- Diameter: 20–350 mm
- Wall thickness: 0.13–2 mm
