Material Types
- Stainless and heat resisting steels
- Mild steels
- Maraging steels
- Precipitation hardening steels
- Exotic alloys (titanium, niobium,etc.)
Sizes
- 1" to 24" diameter
- Unlimited lengths from 2" to 82" in forward
flow, unlimited backflow
- Wall thicknesses from .010 to .300

Preforming Capabilities
PMF can produce preforms*
in-house by:
- press forming (deep drawing)
- welding
- machining (of solid round bar, tubing or forgings)
*A
preform is the shape required prior to flow forming
With these
facilities PMF can provide the most appropriate
preform from a design and cost standpoint.

Complementary capabilities -
FlowformingPlus™
Flowforming rarely offers the complete answer to your design
requirements. That's why we consider it as part of a total
manufacturing approach that includes:
- press forming
- laser cutting
- machining
- welding
- finishing (mechanical and electropolishing) operations
In this way, PMF can provide the most complete solution to
your design requirements.
