Cold Forming
Drawing (Sections, Wire, Tube)
Heading and Thread Rolling
Notes:
The single-phase alloys can be readily riveted-over and are used to manufacture cold-formed parts. Rivets, pins, screws and similar items are mass-produced from wire by cold heading, up to 30,000 items an hour being possible. Small screws may be produced by cold heading wire blanks followed by thread rolling. Wire may also be used for the production of circlips and zip fasteners.
