Understanding the Basics of Cold Forming Cold forming, also known as cold heading, is a highly efficient, high-speed manufacturing process used to shape metal at room temperature. By applying compressive force through dies and punches, manufacturers can create intricate components—often without removing any material—resulting in superior strength, dimensional accuracy, and minimal waste. What is Cold Forming? Cold forming is a chipless metal forming process that reshapes metal wire or rod into a specific configuration without the need for heating. The process relies on plastic deformation—forcing the metal beyond its yield strength but below its melting point—to permanently alter its shape while maintaining its internal grain structure. Unlike machining or hot […]
