Warmumformung & Kaltumformung – Die passende Technologie für Ihre Anforderungen

Hot forging: ideal for complex geometries and larger components

Hot forging takes place at high temperatures of 1100 to 1150 °C, making the material extremely formable. This method is ideal for components with complex shapes and high degrees of deformation. It also enables the production of larger components in medium-sized batches, for example for applications in the automotive or mechanical engineering industry. After the forging process, the blanks are often machined and subjected to quenching and tempering to ensure even higher load-bearing capacity.

• High formability, even for complex component geometries
• Suitable for medium batch sizes and safety-critical applications
• Efficient for the production of larger components

Cold forging: precision at room temperature and high quantities

Cold forging, also known as cold extrusion, takes place without heating the material and offers high dimensional accuracy and surface quality. This process is particularly suitable for the production of smaller components (<20mm) in large quantities, as it enables efficient series production.

• High precision and dimensional accuracy of the components
• Efficient for large batches and smaller diameters (<20mm)
• Competitive production times through fast manufacturing
• Work hardening

When is which process used?

The choice between hot and cold forging depends on the requirements of your project. While hot forging is ideal for larger components, complex geometries and medium batch sizes, cold forging is particularly suitable for precise, smaller components in high quantities.
