Metal spinning, also known as spin forming or metal turning, is a precise metalworking process that forms axially symmetrical components by rotating a metal disc or tube at high speed over a mandrel. Unlike traditional machining, metal spinning does not remove material but molds it over a pre-shaped form, making it both efficient and material-saving. The process can be performed manually or with CNC lathes for greater precision and repeatability. Metal spinning is widely used in both artisan and industrial applications, producing everything from decorative household items and architectural lighting to aerospace components, rocket nose cones, cookware, and gas cylinders. It supports a wide range of ductile metals including aluminum, stainless steel, Inconel, Hastelloy, and other high-strength alloys. The size and complexity of the finished parts are limited only by the equipment used, allowing for the creation of deep or wide components with seamless construction.
