The cold extrusion forging method still continues to be one of the most commonly used methods in the manufacturing of metallic conditions. But why is that? Well, the answer is simple- the many benefits the process offers mostly to the manufacturers.

Cold extrusion forging is a metal forming technique that works on blanks at room temperature. This simply means no heating of blanks before forging. But what are the major benefits that come with this cold forging technique? Here are the benefits:

Great Strength

Cold extrusion forging produces parts that have high strength when compared with casting and other forming techniques. It does not matter the material you are cold forging, but the fact remains it will be stronger. This is one of the reasons most manufacture are going for cold forging since they get better products.

Lower Cost

Have you ever cared to check the cost of cold extrusion forging products and compare them with other forming techniques? You will be surprised by the difference in price. In fact, you will find cold forged products cheaper simply because of the production cost. With no heating and some secondary processes, the overall cost of production is low.

Better Lead Time

How long does it take to manufacture metallic parts using various forging methods? Some forging techniques can take up 7 weeks. But that is not the same with cold extrusion forging. It takes less time to take an order request and deliver the parts. The making of the dies is the only process that can take some time, but still, the lead time is way better.

Greater Surface Finish

The cold extrusion forging process has been praised for producing some of the best forgings when it comes to surface finish. In fact, there is very little that you can do to the surface and in most cases. There is very little finishing work, if any.

Environmentally Friendly

We are living at a time when the issue of the environment has become very serious. The effect of global warming is there for everyone to see. Now you can be among the people saving the planet by switching to cold extrusion forging production or products. With no heating and high material utilization, the process promotes a better environment.

Superior Dimensional Accuracy

The accuracy of cold extrusion forging is better than other forging options and forming methods such as casting. This means the finishing work needed is very minimal if there is any. It simply means you may not invest in finishing and other secondary processes equipment.
