COLD HEADING PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES

Cold heading is a deformation process that shapes metal by applying compressive forces at room temperature. This versatile technique shapes 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 punches, ul

Cold heading processes encompass a variety of manufacturing techniques utilized to shape metal components by applying compressive forces at room temperature. These processes depend on the inherent plasticity of metals, allowing them to be modified without melting. A key characteristic of cold heading is the elimination of heat, resulting in enhance
