Improved strength and reliability through work hardening and an uninterrupted grain flow
Improved surface finish over screw machined components
REDUCED COSTS
Reduced scrap rates
High production rates
Ability to form parts to a net or near-net shape, which requires fewer secondary operations to achieve finished form
Allows multi-piece assemblies to be manufactured as a single component
Cold forming often uses significantly less raw material for the same component
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Unique and diverse shapes, including parts with multiple diameters, extrusions, blind holes and through holes
Eccentric or asymmetrical bodies possible
SIZE RANGES
Diameters: 1.27mm to 41mm (.020" to 1.6")
Lengths:
355mm (14") under the head with diameters to 38mm (1.5")
432mm (17") under the head with diameters to 22mm (.875")
Actual sizes are dependent on the complexity of the component.
