Advantages: Cold forming services are capable of producing near net shape parts in a variety of metals.
Material is not removed during the process, producing little scrap compared with conventional machining
Can be a high production rate process
Cold forming imparts strength to parts through grain redistribution
Cold forming can increase the strength of weaker material through cold working, often matching the characteristics of superior metals that must be hot formed
Good interior and exterior surfaces can be produced
Limitations of Cold Forming Services
Not suited to low volume runs
There are limits on diameter to length ratios
Galling of surfaces can occur without appropriate lubrication
Applications: Cold forming services are used to make many parts in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
