When faced with the choice to continue outsourcing dished heads for your tank and pressure vessel production or to start making them inhouse, it is of utmost importance to decide beforehand the ideal process technology, that is the correct balance between the manufacturing costs, production time, tooling costs and energy consumption. In principle, there are two methods, cold and hot forming. For both options, there is the process line of deep-drawing and the two-step process, dishing and flanging. The deep drawing method is the best choice for repetitive pressed heads; the tools are tuned for each size and therefore the…
