Cold forging
Cold Forging Technology
Cold forging is an advanced manufacturing process used to produce metal parts with extreme precision, without requiring any prior heating of the material. This technology is particularly used in sectors that demand mechanical components with tight tolerances and optimized mechanical properties, such as automotive, aerospace, and precision tooling.
Unlike hot forging, cold forging is carried out at room temperature, which offers several advantages: better dimensional stability, no oxidation, and optimized mechanical properties of the parts thanks to the controlled work hardening of the metal.
- High dimensional accuracy : the parts produced require little or no post-machining, thereby reducing costs and production time.
- Integrated multi-operation processes : up to 5 successive operations can be carried out in a single pass, improving manufacturing efficiency.
- Optimized production rate : cold forging makes it possible to produce large series with a high level of repeatability.
- Ability to produce thin-section parts : ideal for components requiring low mass while maintaining high mechanical strength.
