Advantages of Forging

Cold forging can reduce your costs dramatically.

1. Ability to eliminate secondary processes & reduce scrap
   1. Possible elimination of "heat treatment" process (by hardening involved in cold forging)
   2. Elimination or reduction of "machining" process
2. Ability to select wide range of materials
   1. Low cost material
   2. Easier machining process
3. Ability to make parts more accurate and precise than "hot forging", without machining
   1. More accurate dimensions: centering, alignment, flatness, etc.
   2. Precision features: serrations, splines, gears, etc.
