"Cold forging" refers to the processing of metallic materials such as carbon steel, non-ferrous metals, and alloy steel, formed at room temperature, which is below the recrystallization temperature, using molds. By controlling the flow of the internal structure of the material (plastic flow), it is possible to obtain high precision and high strength shapes that are equivalent to or similar to the desired processing shape (net shape). As a result, resource-saving and environmentally conscious manufacturing can be achieved, such as reducing secondary processes. [Types of Cold Forging Processing (Partial)] ■ (Forward/Backward) Extrusion Molding ■ Upsetting Molding ■ Punching Processing ■ Drawing Processing ■ Shaping Processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
