METAL FORMING PROCESSES & PRODUCTS

Amalco has been deep drawing, hydroforming, and dip brazing complex, custom metal parts for OEMs throughout the world for over 110 years. We have the machinery and the expertise to manufacture your most demanding, difficult to-make metal parts on-site in our 60,000 square foot facility located in Mountainside, New Jersey.

As a vertically integrated company, Amalco has the in-house experience, manufacturing capabilities, engineering support, tool/design expertise, and stringent QC processes in place to meet — and exceed — your critical design and delivery requirements.

Visit our comprehensive parts gallery to see examples of the many customized products we’ve made for our customers, including deep-drawn and hydroformed parts.

METAL FORMING PROCESSES

Deep Drawing

As a metal forming process, Amalco’s deep drawing capabilities are in high-demand. This method involves drawing a sheet-metal blank around a punch as it’s pulled through a die. Deep drawing allows for multiple draws, too; so even though it only achieves 43% reductions per draw, greater depths can be formed with multiple draws. Deep drawing is ideal for complex cylinders, enclosures, and irregular shapes.

Hydroforming

Amalco also offers metal spinning (which is sometimes known as spin forming) as a secondary operation. Commercial metal spinning is the metalworking process used to further customize shapes that would be impossible to form through deep drawing or hydroforming alone.

Spin forming is an effective production method for prototypes as well as high-quantity production runs. It’s relatively easy to make alterations with spin forming, too — which is why it’s known as a particularly cost-effective metal forming process.
