METAL FORMING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

Cold heading is a deformation process that shapes metal by applying compressive forces at room temperature. This versatile technique produces various components with precise dimensions and enhanced mechanical properties. The core principle of cold heading involves the gradual reduction of cross-sectional area through multiple passes over forming t

Cold heading processes encompass a spectrum of manufacturing techniques utilized to manufacture metal components by applying compressive forces at room temperature. These processes utilize on the inherent ductility of metals, allowing them to be deformed without melting. A key characteristic of cold heading is the elimination of heat, resulting in
