COLD FORGING

A wide variety of fields of application for diverse geometries

Cold forging also described as cold extrusion - is a forming process during which steel is formed under high bonding pressure at room temperature

The advantages of cold forging as opposed to alternative manufacturing processes

• Increase in strength (R m ) via strain hardening the material without additional heat treatment
• Extremely high resilience (static and/or dynamic) due to the uninterrupted fibre course in the com- ponent
• High dimensional and shape accuracy
• Excellent surface quality
• High reproducibility precision and therefore ideal for large production quantities
• Shorter manufacturing times as opposed to a machining process
• Material-saving, time-saving, cost-saving
