Frequently Asked Questions

What is cold heading or cold stamping and why is it used in the manufacturing of metal parts?
Cold stamping o cold heading is a forming process in which metallic materials such as steel, aluminum, or brass are shaped by applying pressure at room temperature. It is used because of its high efficiency in producing large series, the improvement in material strength after forming, and the ability to obtain complex geometries without the need for additional machining.

What advantages does cold stamping offer compared to other manufacturing methods?
Its main advantages include lower energy consumption (since the material is not heated), higher production speed, high dimensional repeatability, and reduced waste. In addition, the process improves the mechanical properties of the material due to strain hardening, which increases durability in demanding applications.

What types of materials are compatible with the cold heading process?
Materials commonly used in cold stamping or cold heading include stainless steels, carbon steels, aluminum, brass, and copper. The choice depends on the final application and the required properties such as strength, conductivity, weight, or corrosion resistance. This flexibility allows manufacturers to adapt the process to different industries and performance needs.

What factors determine whether a part should be manufactured by cold heading or screw machining (decoletage)?
The decision depends on production volume, geometric complexity of the part, and the required tolerances. Cold stamping is ideal for very large series and repetitive geometries, while screw machining is better suited for small or medium series, offering greater flexibility for complex shapes and operations.

How does a company like LEMEC ensure quality in cold stamping?
LEMEC ensures quality in its cold stamping processes through controls at every stage: material analysis, dimensional verification, batch control, and strict adherence to customer specifications. Its infrastructure is designed to meet demanding industrial standards in sectors such as automotive, hydraulics, or electronics, where reliability and consistency are critical.
