Insights into the Casting Process for Stainless Steel Pop Rivets

[Stafford]

Casting vs. Chilly Heading cold heading is a procedure where metal is shaped at room temperature by forcing it into dies under high pressure. While this procedure is efficient and ok for mass manufacturing, it is generally utilized for simpler shapes and materials with lower intensity requirements. Casting, on the other hand, allows for the creation of more complex geometries and is perfect for materials like stainless steel, which may be challenging to form by cold heading owing to their hardness and strength.
