A cost-effective method for making tube metal parts
Also known as tubular stamping, tube stamping is a relatively new technology used to produce complex, tubular parts that are generally uncommon in the stamping world.
Tube stamping offers design advantages, greater strength-to-weight ratios and up to 30% lower manufacturing costs than screw-machined parts, die casting and aluminum extrusions. We can often implement special design features, such as hemmed or coined edges, without incurring additional machining costs.
OUR TUBULAR STAMPING PROCESS – FEATURES & BENEFITS
Our team can convert your existing machined parts into tubular stamped components to achieve the following benefits:
- Class A finishes
- Cost-savings and weight reduction opportunities
- Highly complex, tubular shapes and parts
- Varying shapes (round, oval, square, etc.) and diameters
- Value-added features such as fasteners can be installed during the stamping process
- Aesthetic design features such as hemmed edges and coined shapes
COMMON TUBULAR STAMPED SHAPES
Below is a sample of common tubular stamped shapes:
- Open, diagonal and overlap seams
- Angular ends
- Oil grooves
- Special shapes
- Flanged or nosed-in ends
- Notches
- V-joint
- Projections
- Beads
- Handles
- Bolt threads
