Deep drawing is a sheet metal forming process used to fabricate many common items such as cans, cups, eyelets, and sleeves. Flat material – typically a metal disk or blank – is pushed into a cavity, deforming the material into the desired shape of a cup, can or bowl. This forming process is a fast, efficient, and accurate method to produce a large quantity of strong and seamless deep-drawn parts.

Rolled Metal Products is a specialist supplier of deep draw stainless steel and titanium for the most demanding drawn components. Located in the heart of the largest deep draw markets, our inventory includes a wide range of stainless steel grades used by metal stamping firms using transfer (eyelet), ICOP or progressive die set presses.

Deep Draw Parts

Typical Deep Draw Annealed Grades

Deep draw annealed grades we supply include 302, 304, 304-L, 305, 309, 310, 316-L, 409UF®, and 430, as well as Titanium and others as requested. Deep draw process material is optimized to minimize directionality and maximize ductility, as compared to standard annealed product.

Many of our items are supplied to customers’ unique specifications, often with 2D finishes for deep drawing applications. This finish aids the retention of stamping oil on the workpiece during drawing.

Type 304 & 304-L, the most common deep draw grades, can be supplied with Nickel content from 8 to 9½ percent. For the most challenging of drawn parts, the continuum of austenitic grades includes 305, 316-L, 309, and 310, allowing toolmakers and designers to increase the product Nickel content up to 22%. Both special grain size and “tight” gauge tolerances can be accommodated.

Ferritic stainless grades are also supplied for deep draw, as well as most Nickel based alloys and CP Titanium grades produced to ASTM commercial & medical specifications.

As our customers frequently produce parts in thin gauges, with large diameter-to-draw ratios, we can supply material to strict microcleanliness requirements. In addition, RMP stocks materials which meet DFARS, RoHS and many US & international material standards and specifications.
