When should the Cold Forming process be considered? The part has multiple diameters High production quantities of the part are needed Significant raw material costs are associated with the part Part aluminum strength and reliability are important manufacturing criteria The Value of Cold Forming: standard Because raw materials extrusions are often times the most expensive component of manufacturing a part, Cold Forming is a low-cost alternative Cold Forming capabilities often reduce part costs while improving part quality and productivity. Generally the wire is feed into the forming machine by means of feed rolls, aluminum cropped to length by a shearing action then progressively cold formed. During the cold forming process, un-heated parts are forced into die cavities standard by forming punches extrusions to achieve a desired configuration, the friction between the forming tools and the material being formed aluminum results in an increase in temperature of the work-piece resulting in a work hardening effect.

After the standard head is formed, the end of the fastener shank opposite the fastener head is spun in a chamfer tool. This removes a small amount of extrusions metal from the end of the fastener shank creating a 30-45 degree chamfer angle on the end of the aluminum fastener shank. This chamfer acts as a thread relief when mating with internally threaded products. The fastener is then standard moved to a thread roller where the extrusions threads are formed into the fastener shank, ending the cold forming process. Strength and cost are two main considerations aluminum when choosing between cold forming and machining. When a part is cold formed the grain flow lines are neither cut nor broken but follow the contour of the upset. This process increases the tensile strength of the part. Cold formed parts as compared to machined parts are stronger standard and tougher both statically and in fatigue, therefore producing a higher quality end product.

However, cold forming machine setup costs vary depending on the complexity extrusions of the product to be produced and can be exorbitant. With higher volumes (5,000 pieces or more), it is easier to absorb these set up costs, but with lower volumes (1,000 pieces or less), machining may be a more cost effective method. However, if stock is available in a part previously manufactured at a longer aluminum and standard and extrusions and aluminum length, we can often cut-off a portion of the screw thread length and re-chamfer the end to form the desired standard part at a lower cost and shorter lead time than machining from scratch. extrusions The most important factor in creating a quality product is the aluminum selection of raw material (cold forming wire). As an example you might need a product cold formed in 302HQ (18-8) stainless wire to the federal specification QQ-S-763. Although this is a very standard extensive specification, there are still min./max. tolerances and no preference as to how wire must be drawn to form the raw material. In critical applications, this can be a very real problem because there is a wide range of quality with raw materials. The goal in drawing wire is to create a wire with as little impurities/imperfections as possible. extrusions The lower aluminum the impurities the higher the tensile strength. The old adage standard and extrusions "you get what you pay for" applies here.
