| Abstract Scope |
Modern metal spinning is a CNC-controlled deformation process that is advantageous for its balance of process robustness and agility in comparison to traditional wrought processes. Additionally, metal spinning utilizes a very localized deformation area which poses advantages for traditionally difficult-to-form metals. In this processing study, physical challenges of spinning both 6061 aluminum and 304 stainless steel to the same geometry were explored. Ultimately, the process was not material agnostic; however, successful parts were made with both alloys. Differences arose in general deformation behavior, failure modes, attack angle response, starting stock dimensional changes, and edge preparation sensitivities |
