Materials

Stainless steel is one of the most commonly used metal spinning materials in manufacturing. Properties such as corrosion resistance and strength make the 300 or 400 series an optimal choice for various industries and applications.

Helander Metal Spinning Company can spin stainless steel components up to 60 inches between centers, with thicknesses up to one inch and a diameter of 100 inches.

Carbon steel is an optimal metal spinning material for industrial purposes. Metal spinning produces parts that are significantly sturdier than that of other processes or materials.

Metal spinning of carbon steel produces low-cost, strong, uniform components. Helander Metal Spinning Company can metal spin carbon steel parts measuring up to 0.375-inch in thickness.

Aluminum is a malleable, nonferrous metal ideal for a range of aerospace, transportation, and construction applications. It is known for its high corrosion resistance and considerably lower density.

Aluminum alloys are available in various forms, each providing distinct characteristics to meet the specific demands of a given application. Helander Metal Spinning Company offers aluminum spinning of parts measuring up to 1.5 inches in thickness.

Inconel is a metal alloy made with nickel and various amounts of iron and chromium. Due to its inherent properties and unique composition, producing products with Inconel requires a highly skilled technician who is familiar with the material.

An experienced craftsman can create complex parts and shapes with Inconel, resulting in high-strength components that perform exceptionally well, even in the most difficult conditions.

Hastelloy is available in over 20 different types of alloys. The nickel alloy has high corrosion resistance and consists of varying amounts of other elements, including but not limited to:

• Chromium
• Cobalt
• Copper
• Iron
• Manganese
• Molybdenum

Helander Metal Spinning Company has extensive experience working with Hastelloy C276 to produce high-quality components for a variety of applications and industries.

Titanium offers similar characteristics to aluminum, such as low density, high corrosion resistance, and a good strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum, vanadium, and other titanium alloys are often used instead of pure titanium in the metal-forming process.

Helander Metal Spinning Company has vast experience working with exotic metals such as titanium and can produce consistently strong, quality parts for a range of applications.

Copper and copper alloys are the most commonly used metal spinning materials due to their many positive characteristics. Copper is a non-magnetic metal known for its aesthetic appeal and versatility. It is ideal for applications requiring beauty, functionality, or a combination of the two.

Helander Metal Spinning Company has the expertise to produce high-quality, precisely formed copper components for various industries and applications.

Bronze is a copper alloy made by adding tin to copper. By itself, copper has various positive attributes but is not a preferred choice for industrial applications. Alloying bronze adds the necessary rigidity and strength for industrial applications.

Helander Metal Spinning Company has the experience and knowledge to spin copper products and parts of varying quantities and sizes for use across industries.

Brass has similar traits to copper, including thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability. However, this alloy is significantly stronger than pure copper. Brass is known for being ductile, low friction, and highly malleable.

Helander Metal Spinning Company offers expert brass spinning capabilities for various brass products for perfectly crafted, functional, and attractive parts.

Monel^® is made by combining nickel with varying amounts of aluminum, carbon, iron, silicon, sulfur, and manganese. Monel^® is stronger than steel and has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, maintaining its strength in extreme temperatures. It is ideal for demanding applications like aerospace, marine, oil and gas, and electronics.

We can create custom components from this and other high-performance materials, spinning components up to a maximum of 60 inches in height and with varying levels of thickness.
