Swaging is not only a great process, it was also "net-shape process", before
there was a name for it
Key Benefits
Improvement in grain structure and flow
Very stable and repeatable
Low cost solution to machining
Capabilities
Swaging in General
We have swaged everything from hypodermic needles all the way up to 4340
VAC-remelt 6" in diameter with a 3/4" wall. From titanium bicycle parts and
softball bats to boiler tubes that were over 24 feet long. Wire rope
assemblies for satellites that were small enough that a dozen of them would
fit into your watch pocket, to slings that used 3/4" stainless cable.
We can swage what you need. Take a look!
Cold Rotary Swaging
The quickest, least expensive and most dimensionally stable, cold
swaging is the process of choice for light to medium reductions in tube
diameters and light reductions or "rounding-out" of solids. Also the
method used for most attachments of terminals and ends to wire rope.
Finished surface quality is improved to that of a burnished look as a result
of the cold working of the outer surface of the material. Useful for
alloys ranging from aluminum and copper to many stainless and plain steels.
Hot Rotary Swaging
A process utilizing induction heating equipment to rapidly heat
the material to a plastic state just prior to swaging. Used in
applications requiring heavy wall thickness, tough or thick materials
or reduction angles that exceed the realm of cold swaging. Surface
finishes are somewhat rougher than cold swaging and costs are somewhat
higher, but well worth it considering the increased capability.
Engineered Swaging
For those items that are somewhat unusual, either as a result of
configuration or material. Using a combination of swaging, machining
and other manufacturing processes we can create parts that others can only
dream of. When no one else can do it, this is where we start. Reserved
for those discriminating Engineers.
