Cold Forging Capabilities

High Tonnage Cold forming part formers and vertical transfer presses forming near-net-shape components in house.

Near-Net-Shape Cold Forging

Srimukha Precision Products established its dedicated Cold Forging division in 2010 to support backward integration. By cold extrusion and forming raw slugs in-house, we control structural grain flow and reduce machining cycle time, providing significant cost savings directly to our OEM partners.

High-Tonnage Production Fleet

Our forging shop is equipped with robust high-tonnage cold forging machinery designed for high speed and dimensional stability:

  1. KING AN 6-Station Cold Forging Part Former: Coil diameter capability of 34mm and maximum forging length of 270mm. Operates at a rapid 70 strokes per minute, producing high-volume EV Motor Shafts, Steering Shafts and Starter Motor Output Shafts.
  2. MALMEDIE 4-Station Cold Forging Header: Coil diameter capability of 22mm and maximum forging length of 180mm. Operates at a rapid 30 strokes per minute, producing high-volume EV Motor Shafts, Steering Shafts and Starter Motor Output Shafts.
  3. ONY 5-Station Vertical Servo Press: 600 Ton, 5-Station transfer press producing near-net-shaped cold formed carrier shafts, switch bodies and boss rotors.
  4. Komatsu Knuckle Joint Press: MKN 600 Tons capacity knuckle joint press for heavy-duty drive gears and clutch hubs.
  5. Hydraulic Extrusion Presses: 150-ton, 300-ton, and 400-ton hydraulic presses supporting custom non-symmetrical geometries.

Process Workflow & Metallurgy

Horizontal Press:

The process begins from spheroidized annealing from raw coils to spheroidized annealed coils (SAIP, PASAIP). The coils are then automatically fed through sequential dies of the KING AN/MALMEDIE part former achieving high density extrusion with minimum material waste and appropriate grain flow.

Vertical Press:

The process begins with precise slug shearing from raw coils or bars. Slugs undergo surface preparation (including chemical phosphate coating and soap lubrication) to reduce frictional wear on dies during extrusion. The slugs are then automatically fed through sequential dies of the ONY Vertical Press, achieving high density extrusion with zero (minimum) material waste.

“Cold forging flows raw steel grain structures along the profile shape, providing 20-30% higher shear strength than machined bars.”

Quality Control & Tolerances

Our metallurgy laboratory conducts rigorous incoming inspection of spheroidized annealed coils, including and not limited to: microstructure, UTS and spheroidization. During Cold Forging process design & manufacturing, we ensure strict quality adherence to the internal strength of the component by maintaining smooth grain flow along the profile shape of the part.
