The characteristics of cold heading forging process

1.  Cold heading is done at room temperature.  Cold heading can improve the mechanical properties of metal parts.  

2.  Cold heading forging process can increase material interest rate.  It is a pressure machining method based on plastic deformation, which can realize less cutting or no cutting.  General material utilization rate is in 85% above, highest can reach 99% above.  

3.  Can improve production efficiency.  Metal product deformation time and process are relatively short, especially in the multi-station forming machine processing parts, can greatly improve productivity.  

4.  Cold forging technology can improve the surface roughness of products and ensure the accuracy of products.

Requirements of cold heading forging process on raw materials

1.  The chemical composition and mechanical properties of raw materials should meet relevant standards. 

2.  Raw materials must be spheroidized annealing treatment, the metallographic structure of the material is spherical pearlite level 4-6.  

3.  The hardness of raw materials, in order to reduce the cracking tendency of materials as much as possible and improve the service life of the mold, cold-drawn materials are required to have as low hardness as possible to improve plasticity.  The hardness of raw materials is generally required to be in HB110~170 (HRB62-88).
  
4.  The precision of cold drawing material should be determined according to the specific requirements of the product and the process. Generally speaking, the accuracy of

5.  The surface quality of cold drawing material requires that the lubricating film be dull dark, and the surface shall not have scratches, folds, cracks, hair, rust, oxide skin and pits pitting and other defects. 

6.  The total thickness of the decarburization layer in the direction of the cold drawing material radius should not exceed 1-1.5% of the diameter of the raw material (the specific situation depends on the requirements of each manufacturer). 

 7.  In order to ensure the cutting quality of cold forming, cold drawing material is required to have a hard surface and soft core state.  8.  Cold-top forging test should be carried out for cold-drawn materials, and the sensitivity of materials to cold-working hardening should be as low as possible, so as to reduce the increase of deformation resistance due to cold-working hardening during deformation.
