Cold Forging for Repeatable Metal Forms

Cold forging shapes material through mechanical force while it remains at or near room temperature. It is considered when a component can be formed effectively without the elevated-temperature stage used in hot forging.

What Makes Cold Forging Different

The absence of a hot-forming stage changes how the material responds during deformation. The choice between cold forging and another forming route depends on material characteristics, geometry, deformation requirements, dimensional expectations and production volume.

Suitable Component Requirements

• Repeatedly produced formed metal components
• Defined shapes achievable through controlled deformation
• Parts where a cold-forming route suits the selected material
• Forged components intended for subsequent machining or finishing
• Customer-specific production based on drawings and specifications

Cold Forging Within a Complete Production Route

Forging may establish the basic component form while later operations achieve final dimensions or functional features. Dipak Sales also lists turning, drilling, milling, tapping, heat treatment, finishing, coating and assembly among its manufacturing services.
