What Is Cold Heading
1. Definition and Principle: Cold heading is a plastic forming process carried out at room temperature. It involves applying pressure to metal billets through a die to cause plastic deformation, thereby obtaining parts of the desired shape and size.
2. Operating Process:
Prepare billets: Select appropriate metal billets, such as round steel, wire rods, etc.
Place the blank: Place the blank in the die of the cold heading machine.
Applying pressure: Start the cold heading machine, and the die applies pressure to the blank, causing it to undergo plastic deformation.
Forming and cutting: Under the action of pressure, the blank gradually deforms into the required shape and is cut when necessary to form the final part.
3. Characteristics:
This process has high production efficiency, high material utilization rate and good surface quality of parts.
It is capable of manufacturing parts with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy requirements, such as bolts, nuts and other fasteners.
What Is Cold Rolling
1. Definition and Principle: Cold rolling is a process in which pressure is applied to metal sheets or strips through rolls at room temperature to change their thickness and shape.
2. Operating Process:
Prepare the sheet: Select appropriate metal sheets or strips.
Place the sheet: Place the sheet between the rolls of the cold rolling mill.
Adjust the gap between the rolls: Adjust the gap between the rolls according to the required thickness of the sheet.
Applying pressure: Start the cold rolling mill, and the rolls apply pressure to the sheet, causing it to undergo plastic deformation.
Collect the finished products: After multiple rolling passes, collect the finished plates that have reached the required thickness and shape.
3. Characteristics:
Cold rolling process can enhance the strength and hardness of metals and improve their mechanical properties.
It is suitable for manufacturing thin plates, strips and other sheet products, and is widely used in the automotive, home appliance, construction and other industries.
In Summary
1. Forming method: Cold heading mainly forms metal billets by applying pressure through molds. Cold rolling, on the other hand, involves applying pressure to metal sheets or strips through rolls for rolling.
2. Product form: The former is mainly used for manufacturing parts with complex shapes and high requirements for dimensional accuracy. The latter can manufacture sheet products such as thin plates and strips.
3. Mechanical properties: The cold heading process has a relatively small impact on the mechanical properties of materials. Cold rolling process can enhance the strength and hardness of metals.
