Cold forging can include many processes such as cold heading, old drawing, coining, bending, cextrusion, punching, thread rolling and more to yield a diverse range of part shapes.
Example Part Shapes: shaft-like components, cup-shaped geometry's, hollow parts with stems and shafts, parts with radial flow like round configurations with center flanges, rectangular parts.
The material used for cold forging is usually steel rod, wire, or bar. Material options range form lower-alloy and carbon steels to 300 and 400 series stainless, selected aluminum alloys, brass and bronze. Most cost-effective in the range of 10 lbs. or less.
