SIZING

Offshore Solutions (OSI) offers an exceptionally wide range of secondary processes that are applied to metals formed in hot or cold processes. Offshore Solutions' Supplier Quality Engineers determine the availability of the process within the metal forming facility, as well as the quality. If the internal secondary processes do not meet OSI standards then the processes are carried out in OSI-audited and qualified off-site secondary processing facilities. Offshore Solutions has audited, qualified and worked with QS-9000 and ISO certified secondary processing facilities in China for over 12 years. OSI is dedicated to managing your project on-site in China and delivering parts to you at lower prices but the same quality, service and terms as a domestic supplier.

Sizing is the squeezing of a specific area of a ductile casting, a forging, or a powder metallurgy to bring it to the desired thickness.

This allows the use of lower cost processes and yet achieve the tolerances that may be needed on a part.

This is useful for areas such as bosses, flanges and similar parts that need to be of a certain specified thickness.
