Spinned Aluminium Products

Metalspinning can be accomplished using a wide variety of materials fromsoft tempered aluminum and copper to structural plate steel andstainless steels.

The mandrel/chuck can be made from wood,steel alloys, or synthetic materials. The choice of material isdictated by the hardness of the material to be spun and by how manytimes the tool is expected to be used.

Thebasic hand metal spinning tool is called a Spoon, though many othertools (be they commercially produced, ad hoc, or improvised) can beused to effect varied results. Spinning tools can be made of hardenedsteel for using with aluminium or solid brass for spinning stainlesssteel/mild steel. Commercially, rollers mounted on the end of leversare generally used to form the material down to the mandrel in bothhand spinning and CNC metal spinning. Rollers vary in diameter andthickness depending the intended use. The wider the roller the smootherthe surface of the spinning, the thinner rollers can be used to formsmaller radii.

Othermethods of forming round metal parts include hydroforming, stamping andforging or casting. Hydroforming and stamping generally have a higherfixed cost, but a lower variable cost than metal spinning. Forging orcasting have a comparable fixed cost, but generally a higher variablecost. As machinery for commercial applications has improved, parts arebeing spun with thicker materials in excess of 1" thick steel.

Metalspinning ranges from an artisan's specialty to the most advantageousway to form round metal parts for commercial applications. Artisans usethe process to produce architectural detail, specialty lighting,decorative household goods and urns. Commercial applications range fromrocket nose cones to public waste receptacles.

MetalSpinning is a process by which circles of metal are shaped overmandrels (also called forms) while mounted on a spinning lathe by theapplication of levered force with various tools. It is performedrotating at high speeds on a manual spinning lathe or performed by CNCcontrolled automated spinning machines. The flat metal disc is clampedagainst the mandrel and a series of sweeping motions then evenlytransforms the disc around the mandrel into the desired shape.
