—-Accurate Forming LLC Deep Draw Fundamentals – Materials: Aluminum

There are a number of different raw materials that are suitable for the deep draw process. Today we will examine deep drawing with Aluminum.

Accurate Forming works with Aluminum for applications with OEM’s in the fields of marker tubes, battery storage, welding sticks, decorative and many more. Grades of aluminum that Accurate Forming works with are 1100, 3003, 5052 and 6061.

Aluminum is a non-magnetic material that offers very good corrosion resistance with a lighter weight as opposed to stainless steel or carbon steel. Because of the softness of aluminum, a lower tonnage press will be required during the deep draw process. Aluminum is ductile as well.

Aluminum can be finished in a variety of ways including anodizing and powder coating.

Aluminum when used for the right applications is a valuable raw material. Please contact Accurate Forming at (973)827-7155 or at [email protected] or visit our website at www.accurateforming.com to learn more about what Accurate Forming can do for you.
