Cold Drawing
Cold Drawing: A Precision Metal Forming Process Cold Drawing is a fundamental metalworking process used to reduce the cross-sectional area and increase the length of metal stock (wires, rods, tubes, bars) by pulling it through a converging die at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures (significantly below the metal’s recrystallization point). It’s a type of cold working or strain hardening. Key Characteristics Temperature: Performed cold (ambient […]
Key Differences between Forging and Casting
Feature Forging Casting Grain Structure Forging keeps the grain aligned with the shape of the part, which improves its strength. This forms a new crystalline structure, which can lead to porosity and weaken the part from the inside. Strength & Durability Forged parts have better tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and impact toughness. Cast parts generally […]
