Cold Forming Benefits
- Speed
- Net / Near net shape to eliminate or reduce secondary operations
- Consistency / dimensional accuracy
- Quality / surface finish
- Material savings & elimination of scrap
- Improvement in mechanical properties, greater strength-to-weight ratio, unbroken grain flow
Because of these benefits, Cold forming can be considered instead of Hot Forging, Casting, Powdered Metal, Machined Parts, Weldments and Stampings, or Reinforced Plastics / Composites.
