Screw machining typically cuts across grain-flow lines while cold forming "forms" grain-flow lines to the part geometry, work hardening the part in the process.

Conversely, cold working is when metal is deformed below the recrystallization temperature. Warm forming, a third metal forming process, sits between the two. When to Use Hot Versus Cold Work Hot work ...

Orbital forming is a cold-forming process used on parts in which an angled peen or forming tool attached to a spindle spins 3 to 6 degrees off center and applies axial and radial forces to a ...

Metals can be processed into wires by cold forming - an extremely complex process. However, the lubricants needed for this often do not meet the requirements of the end processors. As part of the ...

The cold-forming process is simpler than the hot forming process and does not require any additional setup cost. Hence, the overall cost of cold forming is low as compared to hot forming.

While the cold-forming process isn’t ready for production yet, it will drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to build the expensive parts, McGuire said.
