Cross wedge rolling (CWR) is an advanced metal forming process that employs a series of wedged tools to plastically deform a workpiece into near-net shape components. This process has become ...

There is a high chance that specific shapes and mechanical properties are required when sourcing an alloy product for an industrial, medical, or consumer application. This is where cold working ...

Roll forming lines can be configured in two ways to create length-specific formed parts. One method is pre-cutting, which involves cutting the steel coil before it enters the roll former. The other ...
