After the wire drawing process, the next step in the production process of fasteners is forming. Forming is a process that involves shaping the wire into the desired shape of the fastener.
In the fastener industry, there are several types of forming processes that can be used. The most common type of forming used in the fastener industry is cold forming. Cold forming involves shaping the wire at room temperature and using dies and presses to deform the material without heating it.
The choice of forming machine depends on the type and size of the fastener being produced, as well as the required production volume. At Gofast, we have a wide range of forming machines to meet the specific needs and requirements of our customers in the fastener industry.
The purpose of forming in the fastener industry is to shape the wire into the desired shape of the fastener. This includes forming the head, shank, and threads of the fastener, as well as any other features that may be required. Cold forming is preferred in the fastener industry because it produces parts with excellent mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy while minimizing material waste and energy consumption.
