The main disadvantage of cold forging is that it can't be used for every metal because certain types are much more likely to crack or break during the process.
Cold forming is a manufacturing process that plastically deforms metal using dies. It allows for high speed production, little to no material waste compared
Cold Forging (or Cold Forming) · The metal surfaces must be clean and free of scale before forging occurs · The metal is less ductile · Residual stress may occur
