Blower Housing

  • Volume 50-75 per order
  • Material Used ASTM E8/B557 6061-0.090 Thick Aluminum Sheet
  • Material Finish Brushed & Alkaline Etch
In this instance, a customer in the aerospace industry commissioned us to fabricate a custom housing unit used as an aircraft blower housing. Tooling for the part was designed and developed in-house. After circle shearing from 0.090" thick 6061 series ASTM E8B557 aluminum sheeting, the unit was precision formed with our metal spinning process and hand levers, with additional spinning to produce the designed end flanges. All outside diameter surfaces were machined for final detailing and refinement. The unit was further subjected to a heat treating process, and completed with a distinctive brushed polish and alkaline etching procedure. Optical inspections were implemented to verify dimensions and ensure quality.
Overall measurements of the competed housing were 7.125" in length and 6" outside diameter, and it was constructed holding a tight .005" tolerance throughout. The customers requested timeline of 4 weeks was fulfilled, delivering the unit after a 3-12 week turnaround time. Typical timeline for this process is 6 to 8 weeks, with 50 to 75 units shipped per order to the customer in Wichita, Kansas.

Burner Shroud

  • Material Used 16 ga Low Carbon Steel Sheet
  • Material Finish Raw Spun Finish
Holding the tightest tolerance of .005" throughout, the final dimensions of the shroud were 2.75" in length and 4" outside diameter. The part exhibited a raw spun finish. Turnaround time for this project was 6 to 8 weeks, shipping 200 units per order to the customer in North Ridgeville, Ohio. We have a relationship of over 40 years with this customer, a testament to our superior customer service and high client satisfaction rate.

Bulkhead Can

  • Material Used ASTM E8/B557 6061-0 Temper .050 Thick Aluminum Sheet
  • Material Finish Brushed Chemical Film
Selecting .050" thick 6061-0 temper aluminum sheeting, the initial form was precision cut with a circle shearing process, and the material was then hand spun with levers to fulfill the net product shape. The flange mounting holes and center hole were punched while the OD flange was trimmed to print specifications. The part was then subject to a Scotch Brite polish to achieve a brushed finish. The bulkhead can was heat treated to "T4" and then a chemical film was applied to complete the part.
Dimensions for the finished bulkhead can were 7.250" in diameter and 2.5" in height, and it was constructed holding tolerances of .005" to +.005" -.000". Measurement accuracy and product integrity were verified with visual inspection as well as Faro gage inspection processes. This project was completed after a 6 to 8 week turnaround time and shipped to the customer in Archibald, Pennsylvania. We also handle the heavy volume production requirements of this contract, producing 400 to 600 units per month with a miniscule 0.5% rejection rate

Fuel Float

  • Material Used .060" Thick 6061-0 Temper Aluminum
  • Material Finish Scotch-Brite
The aerospace industry is known to be demanding, and our client was amazed at the quality and prompt delivery of the prototypes. These parts were particularly difficult because they had several different material thicknesses on the outer shells that were key to their function. What's more, we were kept to a weight limit for the completed components, which we controlled via close tolerancing on the material thickness.
Before we ever went into production of the prototypes, we helped the customer with design upgrades to guarantee the products would be efficiently produced. We began production of the fuel floats, which are used within an aircraft fuel tank, by circle shearing .060" thick 6061-0 temper aluminum. The aluminum circles were then spun and worked on our hand spinning lathe, during which the blanks were pressed against a spinning mandrel that was locked in the lathe chuck until the blanks assumed the finished shape of the mandrel. Using metal spinning, we were able to quickly and efficiently produce prototypes that would have been much more expensive if they were made using any other process. We then completed the project on our Bridgeport milling machine and CNC lathe, before die punching and finishing it with a non-woven nylon web impregnated with resins and minerals to improve the finish and increase the product life. The fuel floats were 3.5" in diameter, 3" high, and manufactured to exacting tolerances of .003", which was particularly demanding because this tolerance was maintained on a two-piece part. Following dimensional and visual inspections, we now deliver between 5 and 25 of these floats to our customer in Ravenna, OH in only six to eight weeks.

Retainer Ring

  • Material Used 316L Stainless Steel
  • Material Finish Machined Finish
This unit was intricate in design, a complicated part that was constructed utilizing our manual spinning lathe, CNC lathe, and machinist's lathe equipment. The 316L stainless steel retainer ring was circle sheared and hand spun to exacting specifications, implementing machining to reach tolerances of .003". The part was left with a machined finish, and fully inspected to verify dimensional requirements.
The retainer ring measured 1.25" in length with a 7" outside diameter, and was completed within a 6 to 8 week turnaround time. This part is produced in small runs, with 7 units completed per order and shipped to the customer in Middleburg, Ohio. At Elyria Metal Spinning, we have the capabilities to handle small run to large volume production, manufacturing complex parts in customer specified quantities

Venturi Tube

  • Material Used ASTM B210 6061-0 3" OD x .049 Wall Aluminum Tubing
  • Material Finish Brushed/Polished
The saw cutting tube was drawn from ASTM B210 6061 series 0 3" OD x .049" wall aluminum, and the part was constructed employing hand spinning techniques to meet the specified contours. All outside diameter surfaces were refined with precision machining techniques, and the part was trimmed to length. A deburring procedure was carried out for the effective smoothing of the unit, and the brushed finish was achieved with a scotch brite polish.
Completed dimensions of the tube were 15 " in length and 3" in diameter, produced while holding a tight 0.005" tolerance. Accuracy and dimensional integrity were ensured with in process and postproduction visual inspections. Turnaround time for this project was 6 to 8 weeks, with 50 to 75 units shipped per order to the customer in Addison, Texas.
