Cold forging
Much the same way screws are made, cold forging starts with steel wire rods cut to length.
At room temperature, the wire is then cold forged into the right shape by forcing it through a series of dies at high pressure. This complex tooling process can contain up to 200 different parts with tolerances of hundredths of a millimeter.
Cold forging ensures bolts can be produced perfectly in large volumes, and at high speed production rate.
At this point, some complex bolt designs that can’t be produced just through cold forging will require additional turning or drilling. Turning involves spinning the bolt at high speed, while steel is cut away to achieve the desired shape and design. Drilling can be used to make holes through the bolt. Depending on if the design calls for it, the bolts can have washers attached at this stage.
