Cold forming, also known as cold heading, is one of the most efficient ways to produce high-volume metal parts with exceptional accuracy. Because the process shapes metal at or near room temperature, the material becomes stronger through strain hardening while maintaining a clean, consistent surface finish. This makes cold forming ideal for fasteners, bolts, and other precision components.
However, cold forming also places extreme pressure on tooling. That’s why manufacturers rely on carbide dies, specifically cold form dies, to withstand repeated high-force impacts without losing dimensional integrity. Carbide provides unmatched wear resistance and compressive strength, helping operations maintain accuracy even in demanding, high-speed environments.
We engineer precision cold form dies that deliver long tool life, reduced maintenance, and consistent part quality, cycle after cycle. Looking for custom tooling support? Our engineering team can help optimize your cold forming process. Get started today and request a quote!
