Cold Forging

Cold forging provided by Tianhui cold forging manufacturers is a forming process of materials below the recrystallization temperature, forging below the recovery temperature, and forging without heating the blank is called cold forging.

Cold forging materials are mostly aluminum and some alloys, copper and some alloys, low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and low alloy structural steel, which have low deformation resistance and good plasticity at room temperature. As one of the well-known cold forging suppliers in China, we provide cold forgings with good surface quality and high dimensional accuracy, which can replace some cutting processes.

Our Cold forging by professional hot and cold die forging manufacturer WALKSON can strengthen metals and improve part strength. For more information, please refer to our cold forging process flow chart or diagram.

Advantages of Cold Forging

Cold forging is an environmentally friendly manufacturing process where the workpiece is formed at high pressure and low temperature. This cold forging process ensures that there are no bubbles, pores or any other impurities in the material, resulting in very high-quality cold forged products.

The main advantages of cold forging compared to other manufacturing methods are tight dimensional tolerances, good surface finish, low material cost, machining to obtain the required strength, and hardening without heat treatment.

Applications of Cold Forging

Cold forging is one of the most widely used chipless forming processes and usually does not require machining other than drilling. The generally accepted definition of cold forging is a block of material formed or forged at room temperature without heating the initial billet or intermediate stages.

Cold forging is becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry for the manufacture of steering and suspension components, anti-lock brake systems, axles, drills, clutch hubs, gears, pinions, pins, pedals, intermediate shafts and sleeves.

Cold Forging vs. Hot Forging

The cold forging process is a forming process performed at room temperature, i.e., cold forging temperature. The advantage of cold forging is that the surface finish of the cold forged product is good.

Whereas, in the hot forging process, heating is required to soften the metal sheet.

The main difference between hot forging and cold forging is that the high temperature of hot forging allows the metal to have a finer and more complex shape than cold forging.

Cold Forging Materials

Cold forging is the process of plastically deforming a metal material while applying significant pressure at room temperature.

In addition to improving overall material properties, other key benefits of the cold forming process include greater dimensional accuracy than forgings, superior surface quality, and no need to apply additional energy during the process, such as extreme temperatures.

Cold forging materials that Walkson can cold form include, but are not limited to:

Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, aluminum, bronze, nickel alloys.
