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
Because of these benefits, Cold forming can be considered instead of Hot Forging, Casting, Powered Metal, Machined Parts, Weldments and Stampings, or Reinforced Plastics / Composites.
