SPINNING Involves rotating a metal tube or disc at high speed to create a symmetrical shape

1. Blanking and piercing Blanking  and  piercing  are  shearing  processes in which a  punch  and  die  are used to produce parts from coil or sheet stock. Blanking produces the outside features of the component, while piercing produces internal holes or shapes. The web is created after multiple components have been produced and is considered scrap material. The "slugs" produced by piercing internal features are also considered scrap. The terms "piercing" and "punching" can be used interchangeably. Piercing is a similar process to blanking wherein cylindrical pieces are punched out from a metal sheet. It uses the same machinery, except that the metal punched out is considered scrap in piercing. Blanking is a process that precisely cuts out a product from sheet metal. A punch and die are used to remove the material through massive shearing forces. The desired shape, which is punched out, is used for specific applications while the excess is treated as scrap material.

2. Fine blanking Fine blanking is a specialized form of blanking where there is no fracture zone when shearing. This is achieved by compressing the whole part and then an upper and lower punch extract the blank. This allows the process to hold very tight tolerances, and perhaps eliminate secondary operations. Advantages excellent dimensional control, accuracy, and repeatability through a production run; excellent part flatness is retained; straight, superior finished edges to other metal stamping processes; little need to machine details; multiple features can be added simultaneously in 1 operation Disadvantages slightly slower than traditional punching operations; higher equipment costs, due to higher tooling cost when compared to  traditional punching  operations and to higher tonnage requirements for the presses

3. Coining and spinning are both metalworking processes . Coining is a cold-working process that uses high pressure to deform metal into a desired shape. Spinning is a process that involves rotating metal at high speed to create a symmetrical shape. Coining Uses a closed die to deform metal into a desired shape Produces coins, medals, jewelry, and other parts Hardens the surface of the material, making it more resistant to impact and abrasion Does not require cutting or expensive machinery

4. Coining is a metalworking process that involves using a die to deform a metal sheet into a desired shape . It's a cold working process that's similar to forging, but it's done at room temperature. Coining is used to make coins, medals, and other ornamental parts. How coining works A metal sheet is cut to the desired shape and size The sheet is placed on a die A punch presses the sheet with high tonnage The sheet is deformed to fit the shape of the die Benefits of coining Accuracy : Coining can produce high-precision bending Repeatability : Coining can produce consistent results No spring back : The metal sheet keeps its shape after bending Small inside radii : Coining can produce parts with small inside radii Coining equipment Coining can be done using a gear-driven press, a mechanical press, or a hydraulically actuated press.

5. Spinning Involves rotating a metal tube or disc at high speed to create a symmetrical shape Can be performed on a vertical or horizontal lathe Can be done using CNC controls or hand processing CNC machines can automatically shape the part, trim or otherwise finish the edges, and eject the finished part Other sheet metal operations include: Stretch forming and Nibbling.

6. Metal spinning, also known as spin forming, is a metalworking process that creates hollow, axis-symmetric shapes . It involves rotating a sheet of metal at high speed while applying pressure from a roller against a mandrel. The metal deforms and takes the shape of the mandrel. How it works A sheet of metal is cut into a disk The disk is secured in a spinning lathe A mandrel is attached to the lathe's rotating chuck A roller applies pressure to the disk while it's spinning The disk bends and takes the shape of the mandrel Benefits of metal spinning Can produce complex parts, Can reduce lead time to market, Can be cost-effective for batch production, and Can produce parts with superior tensile strength.
