Cold Forging Technology Offers Key Advantages Faster Processing for High-volume Productivity Lower Material Costs by Eliminating Waste Superior Strength and Integrity of Formed Parts Enhanced Appearance and Surface Finishing This Tech Bulletin provides an overview of Cold Forging processes and how they can be leveraged to deliver higher productivity, lower costs and improved quality. Cold forging technology is applicable for a wide variety of parts that require high-volume production and critical strength parameters in the automotive, medical aerospace, consumer products and other industry sectors. Topics addressed in this Tech Bulletin include: • Overview of Cold Forging • Higher Productivity for High-volumes • Material Savings and Cost Reduction • Improved Part Integrity and Strength • Enhanced Appearance and Surface Finishing • Application Considerations • Materials suitable for Cold Forging • Summary • Future Tech Bulletins Overview of Cold Forging Cold forging is basically an “impact forming” process that deforms a piece of raw material plastically, under high compressive force, between a punch and a die using suitable equipment such as a machine press. Some basic cold forging techniques include Extrusion (forward, backward, forward backward), Coining, Upsetting, and Swaging. These techniques may take place in the same punch stroke or in separate operations, depending on the specific application requirements. In essence, cold forging is a displacement process that forms the existing material into the desired shape as compared with conventional machining, which uses a removal process to take away material to create the desired shape. As seen in the following sections, this distinction offers several significant advantages. The final section provides some of the key factors tha
