Cold forging

Cold forging, also called cold forming is a process that takes place near room temperature. It’s done by placing the workpiece in-between two dies, and pressing the dies until the metal assumes their shape.

Cold forged parts are produced by using mechanical or hydraulic presses, or automated multi-station cold forming machines where the pre-formed part is transferred from one tool station to the next at high speed with each station performing a specific cold forming process

Cold forging is a reliable and cost efficient process and it is used to produce parts of superior mechanical properties without (or minimum) wasted material. Cold forging can be very efficient for mass production.

Cold forging can be used for shaping different types of material. We offer product from various types of high carbon steel alloys to softer metals like aluminum.
