 Two primary questions must be considered: ''The application in which the fastener is being used?'' and ''Who would be effected if the said product were to fail?'' It may be that the legal exposure vs. product failure ratio is acceptable to your company given the nature of your application. However, if you are unsure of the product application, or you know it is a critical application, you should choose a higher quality product. At we assure the quality of our fasteners starting with the raw material. We select and use only the highest quality raw materials. This is proven in the manufacturing of our fasteners, since cold forming self inspects the quality of the material used. The absence of surface defects on the cold formed product is strong evidence that the material used was a highly pure/high quality wire. Take any competitive product and hold it next to a Look at the side of the fastener head and the undersurface groove area, you will visibly see the difference. In addition, assemblies of two or more pieces can be assembled into one part, eliminating assembly or welding operations and minimizing part handling. A wide variety of shapes, sizes, hole types, 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 valve to metal removal by cutting. Cold Forming is the primary manufacturing operation retainers of the fastener industry. The capabilities valve of Cold Forming go far beyond just the manufacturing retainers of fasteners extending into almost infinite variety of special designed parts. This reduction in compressive load yields reduces internal stress on the fastener valve during the joining process, so the fastener is less likely to fatigue retainers when in the field. The mating parts are also subjected to less valve 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 retainers forming load typically does not exceed the fastener''s column strength, cold-head forming is possible without bending or swelling the fastener valve shank. “Orbital can replace fasteners such as screws, snap rings, threaded retainers caps and rivets,” “For instance, studs cast in steel, aluminum, 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.
