Warm & Cold Forging
Warm & Cold Forging
Warm & cold forging are metalworking techniques used to shape metal parts, each with specific uses and benefits. The selection between them depends on the material, part complexity and desired final properties.
Warm Forging
Warm forging shapes metal parts using heat below the recrystallization temperature but above room temperature, enhancing malleability and formability. It’s ideal for aluminum, brass, and specific steel alloys, especially for complex shapes and precision components.
Cold Forging
Cold forging shapes metal parts at or slightly above room temperature through pressure or impact, enhancing strength, durability, and density while aligning grain structure. It offers advantages like reduced energy consumption, faster cycle times, and higher production rates.
