How is a solenoid valve housing manufactured?
Answer
For engineers evaluating a new program, the useful references on this site are the solenoid valve housing manufacturing page, which explains material sourcing, the two forming routes, coercivity control and magnetic annealing; the solenoid valve manufacturing case studies , which show real programs such as the DC04 deep-drawn housing , the deep-drawn magnetic isolation sleeve , the stainless steel sleeve and the brass flat washers ; and the metal parts stock and samples library, where engineers can evaluate real manufactured parts. Manufacturing capabilities such as deep drawing and precision stamping describe the forming side of the system.

What an engineer still needs from you
- material and material condition (grade, temper)
- material thickness, plus the key diameter, height and wall thickness
- tolerances, burr direction and the visual acceptance standard
- annual volume - it decides whether tooling is single-hit, progressive or transfer
- surface finish, and any secondary machining, annealing or plating
Need a DFM feasibility assessment for your project?
Send the engineering drawing (STEP or PDF) with the material grade, thickness and annual volume. Balford engineers then check it against the process window - draw ratio, wall thickness, tolerances, blank and tooling route - and come back with what is feasible and what is not. An answer on this page cannot replace that review.
