ARDEC industries masters cold headinga fast and economical process for producing large production runs robust metal parts, without removing material.
Thanks to this technique, we can manufacture complex metal parts while optimizing production rates and material consumption.
Our production facilities are grouped together at Meca Forginga Group site entirely dedicated to this process. Our expertise covers the production of components from Ø6 to Ø35mm.
Precision-forged metal parts
High-volume production
Cold heading enables the rapid production of a large number of parts with constant dimensions. This process is particularly well suited to connection, assembly or structural components in high-volume sectors such as automotive, cosmetics, construction or defense.
Shaping without machining
Unlike machining or bar turning, the material is not removed but moved under pressure. This guarantees excellent compactness, high mechanical strength and repeatability.
Precise, fast, robust
Our 6-station presses deliver high productivity and reliability. They can meet the most stringent functional dimensions, with sustained output and a low scrap rate.
Our induction heating systems enable us to produce stainless steel components under excellent conditions.
Which materials for cold heading?
Our expertise enables us to adapt production parameters to the constraints of each material. We mainly work with stainless steel mild steels, alloy steels, some aluminum and copper copper alloys, in wire rod form.
Forged components for the mobility, cosmetics, construction and defense markets
Cold heading is particularly suitable for suitable for the industrial mass production of connection, assembly or structural parts. This fast, economical process widely used for forged components in the automotive, cosmetics cosmetics defense and construction industries:
