Cold Headed Parts

G-Fast Distribution is a recognized leader in the fabrication custom cold headed fasteners and components.G-Fast’s FASTENEERING® approach and access to the latest technology, guides our selection of the best equipment required to successfully deliver cold headed products. These parts are designed to meet our customers specifications, material requirements, depending on the component size and quantity required.G-Fast -USA manufactured cold-headed parts are used in a wide range of applications, including but not limited to industrial, commercial, military and government applications. This usually results in a savings of 40% – 70% over screw machining. After the initial cold-heading operation, precision detailed secondary operations can be employed to complete the part.In addition to design versatility and significant cost savings using the cold-heading process, cold-heading delivers increased production rates with greater parts strength. Cold-headed parts engineered with formed unbroken metal flows and cold working changes the structure of the metal which is inherent in this method giving the product enhanced strength over machined parts.Parts can be manufactured in diameters from 0.032″ to 1.125″ and up to 12″ in length depending on the diameter, M1 to M25 are typical metric equivalents. Production quantities include a range from small runs, prototypes through high volume production annual blanket orders with scheduled releases.G-Fast is dedicated to providing the highest quality USA manufactured cold formed parts at the most economical and cost effective rates. Our long term engineering experience and commitment to “Customer Satisfaction through Continuous Improvement” is the foundation of our success.For more information about converting your machined part to cold-heading or the other manufacturing services we offer please contact us directly.
