Hydroforming for the Defense Industry

For manufacturers in the defense industry, precision and quality are two of the most important factors to consider when working with a metal processor. It is essential that parts are formed and finished correctly before they are added to the defense equipment. Everything from tanks to helicopters and even stealth bombers require precision-formed metal parts to operate correctly.

Durable, Quality Parts for Defense Industry Manufacturers

The defense industry requires high standards for mission-critical components. With each part produced, Jones Metal helps defense manufacturers meet and even exceed these exacting requirements. Jones Metal does this by using the hydroforming process to create components that are durable, dependable and made to stand up to the punishing service requirements of the defense industry. With hydroforming, even parts with complex forms can be molded to precise size, depth and shape parameters.

At Jones Metal, our hydroforming processes can accommodate blanks up to 32.5 inches to form parts with depths up to 14 inches and diameters to 27 inches. We also operate at forming pressures up to 10,000 psi, tackling material gauges up to 3/8 inches (steel) and 1 inch (aluminum). We have deep experience working with many varieties of metals, including stainless steel, brass, copper, lead and titanium; plus a variety of clad metals and state-of-the art alloys including hastelloys, inconels, cobalt and nickel alloys.

Whether you are interested in producing exhausts, housings, engine covers or any other piece of defense equipment, hydroforming is an ideal option.
