Gates, W G

The spin forming process was investigated as a source for fabricated metal shapes. For axially symmetric parts, the process is an attractive alternative to formed parts or forged machining blanks. The short procurement lead time of spin formed parts was demonstrated. Equipment vendors and commercial sources with the capability of spin forming Allied Corporation, Bendix Kansas City Division (BKC) parts were identified. Seven materials encompassing 15 product applications were evaluated and the overall cost of spin forming parts was considered.
