Metal Stamping - Deep Drawing
Login to get an online quote for Deep Drawing or conduct an advanced search of our network.
Deep drawing is the manufacturing process of forming sheet metal stock, called blanks, into geometrical or irregular shapes that are more than half their diameters in depth. Deep drawing involves stretching the metal blank around a plug and then moving it into a moulding cutter called a die. Common shapes for deep drawn products include cylinders for aluminum cans, rifle cartridges, artillery round casings and cups for baking pans. Irregular items, such as enclosure covers for truck oil filters and fire extinguishers, are also commonly manufactured by the deep drawing method. Square shapes can also be formed using the deep drawing process although sharp corners are not possible.
Your kitchen sink is a perfect example of deep drawing technology as it is both deep and seamless. Deep drawn parts manufactured for industry range from tiny eyelets used as reinforcements, to large enclosures that house industrial production equipment.
