Cold Heading FAQ
What hardware is best suited to cold heading?
Bolts, screws, rivets, pins and other hardware with headed or stepped geometry are candidates for cold heading. Head volume, shank proportions, material formability and demand determine the suitable die sequence.
What wire diameters and materials can you support?
Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass can be reviewed. The wire or bar diameter range is confirmed against material condition, machine envelope and the required geometry.
Can you form custom heads and shoulders?
Custom head and shoulder features can be evaluated against material reduction and die access limits. Send the drawing with head dimensions, shoulder fits and critical tolerances for tooling review.
Can you add threads, slots or heat treatment?
Thread rolling, slotting, drilling, trimming, heat treatment and plating can be coordinated as secondary operations. Include thread details, treatment condition and finish requirements with the headed-part drawing.
Can you provide first-article and thread inspection records?
First-article and thread inspection records can be included when agreed in the quality plan. Specify thread standards, gauges, acceptance criteria and documentation requirements at quotation.
What information is needed to quote headed hardware?
Send the drawing, wire size, material grade, quantity and required secondary operations. Include head and shank dimensions, thread details and inspection requirements so the die sequence can be reviewed.
Have a Custom Headed Part to Develop?
Send the drawing with material, wire size, head dimensions, quantity and secondary operations. We will review the die sequence and quote path.
