What kind of coil is used to form sheet metal?
Why use Magnepress instead of a hydraulic or mechanical press? For answers to more general questions, click here. Answers What sheet forming shapes can be done? Lots of them. Click here for some examples. What sheet materials can be formed? Any highly electrically conductive metal is a great candidate; these include aluminum, low-carbon steel, and copper. Less conductive metals, such as stainless steel, can be formed using either: 1) more energy, or 2) an aluminum, steel, or copper “driver” to move the stainless steel. The driver can then be either removed or left on as an integral part of the assembly. What kind of coil is used to form sheet metal? To create the required magnetic forces, the coil does not need to be spiraled and cylindrical like a coil spring. The coil can also be flat, either in the form of a two-dimensional spiral (like an electric stove top) or a two-dimensional zig-zag. Place the face of the coil on one side of a metal sheet, and a die on the other, and the coil’s
