Flow forming is an advanced metalworking process used to manufacture high-strength, lightweight cylindrical components such as automotive wheels, aerospace parts, and pressure vessels. It involves the incremental deformation of a rotating preform using rollers that apply controlled force, elongating and thinning the material while maintaining structural integrity. Our capabilities include fabricating cylindrical, symmetrical parts from 1/2” to 48” in diameter, and lengths up to 90” long, for a broad range of industries, including aerospace, defense, power generation, nuclear fuel containment, food processing, and microelectronics, among others.

CYLINDERS

Need custom cylinders with exceptional dimensional accuracy and tight tolerances? By leveraging precision metal flowforming, we can create cylinders with superior surface finishes and complex geometries, ideal for aerospace drive shafts, hydraulic cylinders, and industrial rollers.

HOUSINGS

Achieve lightweight yet incredibly strong housings with PMF Industries’ custom flowformed solutions. Our expertise in metal forming delivers intricate shapes and seamless construction for demanding applications like aerospace gear housings, medical device enclosures, and industrial pump housings.

CONES & FUNNELS

Optimize flow and performance with custom flowformed cones and funnels. These custom components achieve precise geometries and smooth transitions, essential for aerospace nozzles, filtration systems, and chemical processing equipment.

VESSELS

When your application demands high strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, choose our custom flow-formed vessels. These custom metal components are seamlessly constructed with uniform wall thicknesses, ideal for aerospace fuel tanks, energy storage tanks, and chemical processing vessels.

COMPLEX ASSEMBLIES

Streamline your production with our complex flowformed assemblies. We serve the aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors, combining “flowforming” with machining, welding, and heat treating to deliver complete solutions for landing gear, weapon systems, and specialized machinery.
