Cold-Formed Micro-Components

Cold-heading uses applied force to punch metal blanks housed within a die, forming the desired component shape. The applied pressure causes the plastic flow of metal until the blank assumes the shape of the space within the die. This is a cost-effective option since heat treatments, shearing and other secondary processes are not necessary for the construction of simple components.

Some examples of cold-formed micro components include Kovar pins, micro eyelets, micro electronic components, micro contacts, cold-headed pins, and other micro or small components.
