—- Deep Draw Fundamentals: Part 6

Moving forward with our examination of part characteristics, the next type of part would be classified as difficult. These parts typically have tapered drawn shells, average visual requirements, overall length of 3 ½ to 5 times the diameter of the shell, overall length tolerance of + or – .005, outside diameter or inside diameter tolerance of + or – .001 and material requirements of stainless steel, titanium or Monel.

Lastly, regarding the characteristics, would be the most difficult part types. These parts could have features such as radial nose shaped shells, multiple pierced or formed shells and sides pierced or thread rolled shells. Parts classified as most difficult may also have involved secondary operations. The overall length of the part will be greater than 5 times the diameter of the shell, and tolerances will be critical.

Next time we will examine the tolerances Accurate Forming can work to.
