Deep Drawn Process
Run a Reverse!
The Buckeye Deep Draw process is really a “reverse draw.”
That is, with our process, on the primary draw we combine two draws
in one operation, thus saving steps and time.
Plus, the Buckeye Shapeform Deep Draw process works with the following
materials:
- Aluminum
- Copper
- Brass
- Mild (Cold Rolled) Steel
- Precious Metals
- Any Ductile Metal

Compared to other processes, Buckeye Deep Draw Technology inherently
provides more advantages and benefits, including:
- Improved Accuracy –
Buckeye Deep Draw Technology uses a controlled movement
process delivering a refined, highly calibrated product
with tolerances in the thousandths. For example, Buckeye
supplies the military with a missile casing which features
a 7-inch interior diameter, with a tolerance of just +/-
.003 inches. This kind of accuracy is attainable even on
larger parts up to 84" in length and 12" in diameter.

- “Flexible” Hardness
– For some applications, steel may make sense. But
Buckeye's use of aluminum in the deep draw process provides
a uniform grain structure and a product that is strong,
yet ductile. This means Buckeye Deep Draw products will
absorb vibration better, and that’s critical with
sensitive electronics and other technology. By contrast,
impact produced parts are often less uniform in quality
and more brittle.

- Better Finish –
Buckeye Deep Draw Process provides a sealable finish on
products of 63 micro-inches or less. This allows for a more
complete product and the direct application of sealing gaskets
during final assembly, thus eliminating secondary operations
|
- More From Less –
While steel has historically been less expensive than aluminum,
fluctuating prices and tariffs for steel are making the
use of that raw material less and less attractive compared
to aluminum. Moreover, a pound of aluminum delivers three
times the effective material yield of a pound of steel.

Now is the time to get better-engineered
product that performs under pressure and when it really counts.

Buckeye Shapeform offers an exclusive process for precision drawn
metal parts. The Shapeform process allows you to design seamless
one piece parts with multiple diameters and wall thickness that
eliminate the need for costly secondary operations.
- Tightly held tolerances.
- Multiple diameters within a single seamless part.
- Diameters up to 12 inches, lengths up to 84 inches.
- Multiple wall thickness to eliminate vulnerable interfaces and
waste of raw materials.
- Eliminates costly secondary procedures.
- Repetitious manufacturing with repeatable accuracy.
