Cold heading, also called cold forming, is a cost-effective and efficient process to produce both standard parts, such as bolts, screws, and pins, as well as custom fasteners. Cold heading technology has been in existence for over 150 years. The process uses a series of dies and punches to form steel coils into rivets, studs, bolts, and other male fasteners, which are used to align, locate, position, fix, or conjoin two or more components.
