Cold heading is a kind of machining process that shapes the metal wires directly through molds and impacts at room temperature, which is widely used in the mass production of bolts, nuts, rivets and other fasteners.

Cold heading realizes molding through plastic deformation of metal, avoiding a lot of material waste in cutting process. The grain structure of the metal in the process of cold heading is rearranged along the shape of the part, forming a continuous fiber streamline structure, which enhances the mechanical properties of the part. Cold heading process can achieve high precision dimensional control and consistent product quality. Cold heading eliminates the need to heat the material, significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions compared to hot work. Cold heading equipment is capable of producing large quantities of parts in a short period of time, making it suitable for mass production.

Typical application areas for the Cold Heading process are in automotive manufacturing, electrical and electronic appliances, construction engineering and medical devices.

Automotive: production of high strength bolts, nuts and connectors.

Electrical and electronic appliances: manufacture of miniature fasteners and connectors.

Construction: mass production of standardized fasteners.

Medical devices: Processing of small precision parts such as surgical instrument components.
