KDK Forging Co.

  Four different forging manufacturing methods are often employed to form metal components. These techniques include seamless rolling ring forging, cold forging, open die forging, and impression die forging (closed die). The shaft forging process offers a very effective approach to producing a variety of components for all purposes by applying localized compressive stresses. Cold Forging The cold forging technique is intended to produce parts and components with tight tolerance dimensions and an improved surface finish quality. In contrast to most other forging techniques, cold forging uses cooler temperatures to create a variety of components rather than heat to shape the part structure. Shafts, hollow items with stems and shafts, strange combinations, and cup-shaped geometries can all be produced using cold forging. Cold Forging Advantages Creates tight tolerances Produces good surface finish quality Economical Little to no material waste Dies last longer than those used for he...
