Ammunition Cold Forming Tools
Type: Cold Forming Tools for Ammunition Components
Sizes: Custom pointed dies based on customer drawings
Description: Ammunition cold forming tooling, made in carbide or steel, for high-volume production of jackets and casings for the US and its allies
Customized Ammunition Forming Tools
Hyperion Materials & Technologies produces carbide and steel ammunition cold forming tools. Cold forming tools for ammunition components create jackets and casings. In military ammunition production, consistent tolerances are required of each component. Hyperion’s cold forming tooling reaches tolerances within 0.005 mm, enabling mass production without sacrificing quality.
Meet Demand with Reliable Ammunition Forming Tools
Supplying US defense forces with military ammunition requires cold forming tools that perform well over long durations. Hyperion’s manufacturing facilities have state-of-the-art technology to produce ammunition forming tools that function with the reliability required for defense applications. Machining capabilities include:
- Mirror Polishing: CNC grinding and electrical polishing methods produce finishes of 0.02 RA and below. The mirror-like surface finish on the interior of ammunition forming tools is vitally important to increase the lifespan of tooling. Mirror finishes also prevent sticking and galling, which slow production and output.
- Complex Geometries: CNC machinery, including lathes, grinders, and 3- and 4-axis milling machines, enable the precise manufacturing of any required shape for jackets, casings, and other cold formed parts of the projectile. Hyperion machinists grind and polish the inner shape in a single step to create perfect tangents between the core and radius of the tool, with tolerances down to 0.005 mm, so each part functions reliably across large production runs.
- CMM Inspection: Tightly controlled quality processes improve Hyperion’s ammunition forming tools. CMM Inspection is built into the final stage of the production process, to identify unseen micro fissures before they impact your production line.
Cold forming tools with complex, precise geometries enable ammunition manufacturers to deliver highly reliable ammunition across lots and batches.
