6061 Al dish
6061 Al dish
(OP)
I am producing a dish of 1 m diameter and .25 m depth made out of 6061 Al. I thought of deep drawing but I am worried about puckering and the fact I only need a small quantity of these dishes? I am looking into pure stretch forming but I am not sure if this is feasible or not? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

You don't say how thick you want it to be, but so long as it is less than 18 mm thick then you should be able to spin it.
You can use a wooden former that will cost peanuts compared with a stamping tool.

You might be able to incorporate some other features in there at the same time.
