Cold Forming Them Uses Less Copper!
Copper tariffs have sparked a raw material price increase in both imported and domestically supplied copper (see links below). Domestic mills have increased their fabrication charges to match the copper tariffs. The cost of machining scrap (chips) is also increasing. Metal Forming Industries (MFI) can reduce your copper material usage and costs by using less of it through Cold Forming processes. Many parts, probably including yours, that are currently being traditionally machined, can be produced by Cold Forming.
Metal Forming Industries specializes in Cold Heading and Deep Impact Extrusion, both of which produce parts very efficiently, using a lot less raw materials, and requiring minimal additional machining. All of this, Saves You Money, and now, with copper prices skyrocketing, Cold Forming can have an even more significant impact on your bottom line. Cold Forming is used for a diverse range of industries and applications. Is Cold Forming a potential alternative to reduce your material costs? Let MFI help you evaluate this alternative, and improve your bottom line!
