Small Metal Parts

From the medical devices improving patient health to the vehicles moving individuals and energy powering communities, small metal parts make up for their lack of size with profound impact. Ensure your end product performs optimally with precision, high-quality miniature metal components from Berrien Metal Products.

Small Metal Parts Services

We are a fabricator specializing in build-to-print, Original Equipment Manufacture and prototyping of metal parts that can fit in the palm of your hand, or roughly two-and-a-half cubic inches. Our services include:

• Stamping
• Welding
• Grinding

Stamping is a fast and cost-effective solution for manufacturing large quantities of complex small metal parts. Our team of highly trained operators uses high tonnage presses and stamping dies to forge sheets of metal into complete or semi-complete parts. This manufacturing process allows stamping, folding, drawing, or piercing of a product in a single or series operations, improving production speed, accuracy, and quality. Benefits of stamping include:

• Highly automated
• Quick results
• Create many geometries with a single process
• Improved repeatability
• Low cost per part

When welding, separate metal parts are heated and enter a molten stage that makes it easier to join them together permanently. Because of the size limitations of small metal parts, welding them is challenging when performed by untrained or inexperienced personnel. At Berrien Metal Products, our expert welders can join the most complex shapes and exceed the most difficult-to-achieve welding criterion from a variety of metals using tungsten inert gas, or TIG, and metal inert gas, or MIG, welding with a high degree of deliverability.

• All welding fabricators are American Welding Society certified
• Specialize in critical or small precise welds
• MIG welding
• TIG welding
• Air- and water-tight welding

Small metal parts often make up assemblies that move, rotate or come in contact with process media, making dimensional tolerances and material surface finish quality critical. Berrien Metal Products specializes in high-precision grinding, which allows us to achieve sub-micron level tolerances and surface finishes on miniature components. Grinding also eliminates burrs, shavings and other imperfections that otherwise can damage mating parts or increase injury risks.

• Precise dimensional accuracy
• High production efficiency
• Consistency
• Removes metal burrs and shavings
• Uniform material surface finish

While our production team regularly manufactures unique and dimensionally complex small metal components from a variety of material types, we work most often with the following:

• Carbon steel
• Galvanized carbon steel
• Stainless steel
• Aluminum

Small Metal Parts Applications

Engineers reduce the size and weight of their designs using tiny metal parts, resulting in end products that are smaller, lighter and easier to use. Common industries that benefit from high-quality miniature components include:

• Aerospace
• Oil and gas
• Appliance
• Petrochemical
• Medical
• Nuclear
• Automotive
• Furniture
• Construction
• General industrial

Often, a company’s success relies heavily on its supply chain partners. At Berrien Metal Products, we are dedicated to doing what it takes to meet client needs on time and within budget.
