www.mcmaster.com has the tubing. I think you can spin a flange with a
little experimentation in the tooling. Annealed 300 series stainless spins
fairly well.

I'd like to find a small supply of straight sections of smooth, seamless,
drawn ss tubing with 1/8" i.d. and 3/16" o.d. I'd prefer not to have to
straighten coiled tubing.
Usable section lengths could be as short as 4" or up to 3 feet in length.

The i.d. can be slightly under .125" but not oversize.
The o.d. could be slightly oversize but not enough to require multiple
turning cuts.

Type 3xx or 4xx would be suitable.

I'd like to try forming a flange on an end of some of the tubing pieces.
Would 416 allow an end to be formed (similar to a pop rivet head) by
spinning, or would this need to be done as a stamping process?

Any recommendations appreciated, and thanks in advance

WB
