 In addition, assemblies of two or more pieces can be assembled into one part, eliminating assembly forged or welding operations and minimizing part handling. A wide variety of shapes, sizes, hole types, forged head styles and more can be achieved through the cold forming process. View our Capabilities page for more information on what we can do for you. Cold Forming is a high speed manufacturing process that produces parts by metal flow due to machine applied pressure as opposed to metal removal by cutting. Cold Forming is the primary manufacturing operation of the fastener industry. The capabilities of Cold Forming go far beyond just the manufacturing of fasteners extending into almost infinite variety of special designed parts. This reduction forged in compressive load yields reduces internal stress on the fastener forged during the joining process, so the fastener is less likely forged to fatigue when in the field. The mating parts are also subjected to less stress during the manufacturing process. The process also achieves a smooth finish and in some cases, eliminates cracks caused by traditional riveting. Also, since the effective forming load typically does not exceed the fastener''s column strength, cold-head forming is possible without bending or swelling the fastener shank. “Orbital can replace fasteners such as screws, snap rings, threaded caps and rivets,” “For instance, studs cast in steel, aluminum, forged zinc, or even those molded into plastic, can be orbitally formed.” We are the ultimate online resource for many different metal working jobs. We have the most knowledgeable employees and the best equipment available so we can get the job done right.
