Cold Headed Components | Net shape manufacturing methods LOWER PART COST by reducing raw material usage. Compare methods and save!Request for Quote |
ProcessWire from a coil is fed in high speed, automated, "cold-headers" or "part formers." This equipment has the ability of transforming the wire into an intricately shaped part with tight and repetitive tolerances. Material flows during forming to form a multitude of diameters and shapes. Visit  National Machinery for more information on the process. Advantages of Cold Headed Component Parts- Speed
- Net / Near net shape to eliminate or reduce secondary operations
| - Consistency / dimensional accuracy
- Quality / surface finish
- Material savings & elimination of scrap
| - Improvement in mechanical properties, greater strength to weight ratio, unbroken grain flow
