Metal Spinning for Hydraulic Fracking & Foundry Castings

Established in 1964 and incorporated in 1969, Metal Craft Spinning & Stamping is a family-owned business now into the fourth generation, continuing a hard-earned legacy of quality, service and on-time delivery.

Hydraulic fracturing operations demand the highest levels of performance and reliability.  Metal Craft’s spun metal manufacturing process makes all the difference in reliability, hitting product specifications and safety requirements.

 In environments defined by immense pressure, abrasive proppant slurries, and demanding operational conditions, components fabricated with welds or casting create inherent points of failure. Metal Craft Spinning delivers a superior solution through advanced metal spinning—forging seamless, high-strength components from a single piece of metal that maximize uptime and ensure operational safety in the world’s most challenging applications.

The Metal Craft Spinning Advantage: Strength Through Formation

At Metal Craft, we understand that the manufacturing process dictates a component’s performance under pressure. Our metal spinning process delivers metallurgical advantages that are critical for demanding applications where failure is not an option.

Seamless Integrity for High-Pressure Applications

Our components are formed, not welded. This monolithic, seamless construction eliminates the weak points where fatigue cracks and failures often originate. For equipment operating under extreme pressures, this seamless integrity provides the fundamental strength and reliability your operations demand.

Enhanced Durability Through Work Hardening

Metal spinning is a cold-working technique that refines the metal’s grain structure, significantly increasing tensile strength and surface hardness. This “work hardening” effect creates an exceptionally durable surface that resists erosive and abrasive wear. The result? Longer component lifespan, reduced maintenance intervals, and less non-productive time.

Unmatched Cost-Effectiveness and Efficiency

Our metal spinning process offers significant economic advantages. Tooling costs can be as low as 10% of those for forging or casting, making it ideal for both prototyping and full production runs. As a near-net-shape process, it generates minimal material waste compared to subtractive methods like machining, delivering crucial benefits when working with high-performance alloys.

Maximum Design Flexibility

Low tooling costs and rapid setup times allow for unparalleled design flexibility. We can quickly produce prototypes and accommodate design modifications, enabling us to partner with you to create custom-tailored solutions for your specific operational challenges.

Our Hydraulic Fracturing Component Capabilities

We specialize in forming axially symmetric components that are essential to fluid control systems at the heart of every operation. With decades of experience and state-of-the-art equipment, we have the knowledge and skills to deliver precise and durable components that fully meet your demanding requirements.

These critical flow control components work within choke valve systems to manage extreme pressure drops and direct fluid flow. Cage assemblies must withstand intense, focused erosion from high-velocity proppant slurries while maintaining precise flow characteristics. Our metal spinning process creates seamless, work-hardened surfaces that resist erosive wear and maintain dimensional stability under extreme operating conditions.

From downhole frac plugs that provide critical zonal isolation to control point assemblies that manage flow distribution, these components are essential for operational control and safety. These parts must perform flawlessly under extreme pressures while providing reliable sealing and flow management. Our seamless construction eliminates potential failure points, ensuring these critical components maintain their integrity throughout demanding operational cycles.

In environments defined by abrasion, sacrificial components are a core strategy for asset protection. We manufacture high-performance wear sleeves and liners that shield your most valuable equipment from damage. The exceptional surface hardness and smooth finish achieved through metal spinning extend the life of these critical wear parts, reducing maintenance frequency and protecting the operational readiness of your capital-intensive assets.

Effective fluid management is key to system efficiency and longevity. We produce robust diffusers and baffles that control fluid dynamics within your system. Our diffusers manage high-velocity fluid flow, reducing turbulence and cavitation. Our baffles are precisely formed to direct flow within separators and tanks, maximizing separation efficiency and improving operational stability. The strong, seamless construction of our spun components ensures they withstand constant fluid forces without failure.

“Steel Cans“ are also known as heavy-duty pressure vessels, like separators, tasked with the critical job of separating oil, gas, and water from the production flow. We produce the essential shells and heads for these vessels through metal spinning, a process that forms the component from a single workpiece. This creates a seamless, monolithic structure that designs out the welded seams—the most common points of failure under the stress of high-pressure operations. The superior structural integrity of a spun component is fundamental to the safety and reliability of these mission-critical assets.

Advanced Materials for Demanding Environments

Our expertise extends to forming a wide range of high-performance materials designed to combat the specific challenges of demanding industrial applications. We work with materials including stainless steel and aluminum alloys, selecting the right material for your specific application requirements.
