working), the terms \"forging\" and \"heading\" have the same basic meaning. When working metal by applying pressure to mold the material to the desired shape, the word \"forging\" is often used to refer to increasing mechanical strength while also achieving the desired shape through deformation, as the term \"forging\" is traditionally used. \u201cHeading,\u201d which is a similar metalworking process using high pressure, is called heading (forming) processing, and it is primarily used to create shapes similar to screw heads.<br>\nAs you can see, both terms are nearly identical in their meaning, but a common way to separate these two is the direction of the pressure added to the material: During Heading pressure is applied horizontally to shape the material, while during Forging this pressure comes in vertically.<\/p>\n<a name=\"04\"><\/a>\n<h2>Cold Heading\/Forging and Hot Heading\/Forging<\/h2>\n<p>Heading and Forging are classified according to the temperature of the material at the time of processing.<br>\nWhile Cold Heading (Forging) is done at room temperature, there also exist the methods of Warm or Hot Heading where heat is applied to the material before the actual processing.<br>\nAs all these methods hold advantages and disadvantages over each other, the right choice of method should be made depending on the desired application of the product.<\/p>\n<h3>Cold Heading (Cold Forging)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u30fbAdvantages: high precision, high speed, smooth surface<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbDisadvantage: Complex shapes are difficult<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Hot Heading (Hot Forging)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u30fbAdvantage: Complex shapes are possible<\/li>\n<li>\u30fbDisadvantages: Less precise, slow processing, rough surface<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Warm Heading (Warm Forging)<\/h3>\n<p>As the temperature lies in between the other two methods, so do its advantages and disadvantages<\/p>\n<p>At FINECS, we make only Cold heading product.<\/p>\n\n<a name=\"05\"><\/a>\n<h2>Heading and Rolling<\/h2>\n<p>The rolling process is also referred to as rotary forging. During this process the material gets deformed by applying pressure while rotating the material. Normally, the head part of a bolt is made by Heading and the thread part by rolling.<\/p>\n<p>At FINECS, we make only Cold heading product.<\/p>\n\n<a name=\"06\"><\/a>\n<h2>Materials for headed parts<\/h2>\n<p>This section describes the major classes of metals used in cold heading.<\/p>\n<h3>Copper (Cu)-based metal alloys<\/h3>\n<p>Copper (Cu) ranks second among pure metals in electrical conductivity at room temperature (silver (Ag) is first, followed by Cu and gold (Au)). It is available at relatively low prices compared to other electrically conductive metals and so it sees widespread use in heading processes for the manufacturing of electrical contact terminals.<br>\nIn order to enhance the basic properties of Cu mentioned above for specific application uses, a variety of Cu-based alloys are used in the heading process.<\/p>\n<h4>Pure copper<\/h4>\n<p>Pure copper does not contain any additional alloying element, thus demonstrating the high electrical conductivity specific to Cu, although it is inferior to other copper alloys in strength.<br>\nThe pure copper varieties used in heading processes includes electrolytic tough-pitch copper (C1100), which retains 0.02-0.05% oxygen content to detoxify any impurities which could interfere with conductivity, and oxygen-free copper (C1020), refined to remove as much oxygen contamination as possible to avoid hydrogen embrittlement, a disadvantage of electrolytic tough-pitch copper.<\/p>\n<h4>Brass<\/h4>\n<p>Brass is an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn). As the Zn content increases, it becomes harder but also more brittle. It offers good processability for a variety of heading process needs with adjustment to the alloying agent ratios. Consequently, brass is used not only for electrical parts but also large-sized auto parts and headed parts for building construction.<br>\nPrimarily C2600 (70% Cu and 30% Zn) and C2700 (65% Cu and 35% Zn) are put into wide use.<\/p>\n<h4>Phosphor bronze<\/h4>\n<p>This alloy of copper (Cu), tin (Sn) and small amounts of phosphorus (P) constitutes a type of bronze. It features high mechanical strength and spring characteristics. It is also excellent in wear resistance and is non-magnetic, thus finding wide application in springs, switches, gears and other headed parts for various types of electronic equipment.<\/p>\n<h4>Other Cu alloys<\/h4>\n<p>Other alloys like Corson are also attracting attention due to their springiness and higher electrical conductivity.<\/p>\n<h3>Ferrous metals<\/h3>\n<h4>Stainless steel<\/h4>\n<p>Stainless steel is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass added to the principal component Fe to ensure that it does not readily corrode. The chromium content binds with oxygen in the air, creating a protective passivation layer on the surface and thus ensuring higher corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n<h3>Other metals<\/h3>\n<h4>Aluminum<\/h4>\n<p>Aluminum is lightweight, approximately 35% less relative density than iron, and excellent in thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and ease of processing. It creates a protective film of oxide in the air and as a result provides higher resistance to corrosion. Pure aluminum offers low strength and so aluminum is often used in the form of aluminum alloys. Aluminum sees widespread use in rivets and other headed parts.<\/p>\n<h4>Precious metals<\/h4>\n<p>Precious metals like gold (Au) or silver (Ag) are often used as brazing material.<\/p>\n\n<a name=\"07\"><\/a>\n<h2>Methods for processing headed parts<\/h2>\n<p>In the cold heading process, headed parts are manufactured with a combination of \"punches\" to cause deformation by applying force directly to the material in question and \"dies\" to hold the material.<br>\nPunches and dies are available in various designs for different forms of materials and final intended shapes. They are combined to accommodate a wide variety of heading work, as listed below.<\/p>\n<h3>Upsetting<\/h3>\n<p>Upsetting refers to a heading process of hitting a material held in dies with a punch in the longitudinal direction to reduce the length of the material while increasing the diameter correspondingly.<br>\nIt is used in processing the head section of rivets, bolts and other headed parts.<\/p>\n<h3>Forward extrusion<\/h3>\n<p>Material is placed on a die that is narrower than the material\u2019s original diameter, and is then hit with a punch to drive it through the die and reduce its diameter while correspondingly increasing the material\u2019s length.<\/p>\n<h3>Backward extrusion<\/h3>\n<p>A material held in dies is hit with a punch having a smaller diameter than the dies and material. The material flows into the space between the dies and punch, forming a cup-like shape.<br>\nThis is used in the making of blind-rivet shanks, for example.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/133.125.84.183\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/dictionary042-en-4.jpg\" alt=\"Cold Heading processing\" width=\"446\" height=\"251\">\n\n<figcaption style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;\">Cold Heading processing<\/figcaption>\n<figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/133.125.84.183\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/dictionary042-en-5.jpg\" alt=\"Cold Heading processing (thin items)\" width=\"446\" height=\"251\">\n\n<\/figcaption>\n<figcaption style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;\">Cold Heading processing (thin items)<\/figcaption>\n<figcaption><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/133.125.84.183\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/dictionary042-en-6.jpg\" alt=\"Cold Heading processing (pins with flanges)\" width=\"446\" height=\"251\">\n\n<\/figcaption>\n<figcaption style=\"text-align: center; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;\">Cold Heading processing (pins with flanges)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<!-- contents \u7de8\u96c6\u9818\u57df\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067 -->\n\n<\/div>\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"08\">Shipping types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/133.125.84.183\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/dictionary042-en-7.jpg\" alt=\"Loose type\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Loose type<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/133.125.84.183\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/dictionary042-en-8.jpg\" alt=\"Reel type\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Reel type<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/133.125.84.183\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/dictionary042-en-9.jpg\" alt=\"Bandolier type\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bandolier type<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/133.125.84.183\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/03\/dictionary042-en-10.jpg\" alt=\"Embossed type\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Embossed type<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<a name=\"09\"><\/a>\n<h2>Plating<\/h2>\n<p>As part of our business related to electrical contacts we carry out various types of plating.<br>\nFor further information, please click the link below.<br>\nGo to\uff1a<a href=\"\/en\/products\/products-category\/search-by-processing-method\/plating-and-surface-treatment\/\">Surface treatment (plating)<\/a><\/p>\n\n<a name=\"10\"><\/a>\n<h2>Inspection system<\/h2>\nThe ongoing trend of miniaturization of electrical components over the recent years led to ever stricter quality requirements regarding materials, surface conditions and the finished product as a whole.
