Custom Metal Spinning for Stronger, Lighter, and More Efficient Marine Components
Strength and corrosion resistance are critical for marine industry fabrication, but so is efficiency. Many marine manufacturers still rely on traditional welding, unaware that metal spinning offers a faster, stronger, and more cost-effective alternative.
At Wenzel Metal Spinning, we help marine fabricators and manufacturers create custom parts that outperform welded assemblies with smoother finishes, seamless strength, and reduced waste.
Why Metal Spinning is Revolutionizing Marine Industry Fabrication
With facilities near both the Great Lakes and the Gulf Coast, Wenzel proudly offers marine industry fabrication solutions to commercial and recreational customers nationwide.
Our spun parts are used in:
- Barge unloading systems
- Aquaculture equipment
- Pontoon boat components
Whether you need a prototype or a full production run, Wenzel delivers consistent quality every time.
Precision Machining for the Marine Industry
Traditional welding joins multiple parts together, creating seams that can corrode and fail under harsh marine conditions. Metal spinning, on the other hand, shapes a single piece of metal into your desired form, which eliminates weak points and provides unmatched durability.
Benefits of metal spinning for marine fabrication include:
- Seamless strength – No welds means fewer corrosion points and longer part life.
- Cost-effective production – Less material waste and faster turnaround.
- Lightweight precision – Ideal for marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel components.
- Custom fit – We spin parts to your exact specifications — not the other way around.
If you’re designing for the marine environment, metal spinning can help you achieve better performance at lower cost.
Custom Metal Spinning for Your Marine Project
Unlike traditional manufacturers who make you adapt to standard part designs, Wenzel Metal Spinning builds every component to your specifications.
Whether you’re fabricating a pontoon, tank system, or custom marine assembly, we’ll deliver custom spinnings on time and within budget.

If you’ve been relying on welded or cast parts, it’s time to discover a better way. Let us show you how custom metal spinning can improve performance, reduce costs, and deliver superior marine-grade quality.
Marine Industry Fabrication | FAQs
Metal spinning is a process where a flat metal sheet is shaped into a round, symmetrical part using high-speed rotation and pressure. For the marine industry, it’s used to create strong, seamless components like tank heads, cones, and boat parts that resist corrosion.
Unlike welding, which joins multiple pieces together, metal spinning forms the entire part from a single sheet of metal. That means no seams, welds, or weak points, resulting in a better strength-to-weight ratio and smoother finishes.
It’s often the smarter welding alternative for marine fabrication projects that demand strength, precision, and durability.
Wenzel commonly works with marine-grade aluminum (5000 Series, especially 5052-H32) and stainless steel.
- 5000 Series Aluminum offers excellent corrosion resistance, light weight, and weldability.
- Stainless steel provides superior strength and durability in saltwater environments.
Both materials are excellent for components exposed to moisture, salt, and constant movement.
Yes, we offer custom metal spinning and spin to your exact specifications instead of forcing you to adapt to standard parts. Our engineers will help you choose the right alloy, thickness, and shape to optimize performance for your marine application.
