Cold Heading Re-processing Parts

Cold Heading Re-processing Part Advantages

• Improved Precision and Tolerance: Cold heading creates parts by deforming metal at room temperature, which is efficient for bulk production but may not achieve the tight tolerances required for certain applications. Re-processing, such as additional machining or finishing, allows for the precise adjustment of dimensions and surface finishes, ensuring that the parts meet exacting specifications.

• Enhanced Material Properties: While cold heading strengthens the metal by work hardening, re-processing can further optimize material properties through techniques such as heat treatment or surface hardening. This ensures that the parts achieve the desired hardness, strength, and durability for demanding applications.

• Better Surface Finish: Cold heading may leave parts with rough or irregular surfaces. Re-processing steps like grinding, polishing, or coating can significantly improve the surface finish, reducing friction and wear, and enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the parts.
