Coining spheres are precise, spherically shaped parts formed from specially alloyed materials. They often are used as jointing components instead of more conventional flat preforms when either: 1) the part geometries surrounding the preform are better joined using a spherical shape rather than a flat shape, or 2) the alloys involved are not capable of being stamped into a flat shape.

Typical Alloys
The alloys most commonly requested by Coining customers can be found in Datasheet below. Please contact us for other available alloys. Purities are typically 99.99%. Higher purities may be available upon request.
Typical Diameters
Coining can easily manufacture spheres in diameters ranging from 0.001" (0.025mm) to 0.080" (2.0mm). Tolerances by weight are typically +/- 5%. Please contact us for specifics and availability of other sizes.
Packaging
Various packaging options are available based on customer needs. Non-contact desiccant is used as required. An inert argon atmosphere is available on request.
