Aluminum cold forming

for automotive applicationsfor aerospace applicationsfor the energy sector

We specialise in cold forming in copper, aluminium & ferrous materials. At Dawson Shanahan, we have over 75 years of experience in cold forming high quality, precision components for a wide range of demanding applications. These range from laser cutting, to power generation, aerospace and automotive. We can cold form parts in almost any metal, including copper alloys such as Zirconium Copper (CuZr), Tellurium Copper (CuTe) and Copper Chromium Zirconium (CuCrZr), plus aluminium and ferrous. All development, tooling and cold forming is carried out in-house. Our dedicated design and manufacturing engineers work closely with our quality control and customer support teams to ensure that every project is carried out on time and to budget. The Benefits Of Cold Forming: Cold forming is a proven engineering process that is ideal for the precision manufacture of high quality parts in large volumes. In particular, cold forming can: Significantly reduce raw material use and waste Offer fast manufacturing speeds Reduce time to market Eliminate secondary production operations Minimise multi-part assembly costs Produce total cost reductions of up to 70% Give high quality, polished internal surfaces Enable highly accurate internal profiles Provide the ability to create complex external profiles Ensure high mechanical strength (grain structures following part geometries) What Is Cold Forming? In principle, cold forming (sometimes called cold heading) is a simple engineering process. Note that cold forming should not be confused with cold rolling or cold-roll forming.
