Cold Heading Punches

Cold Heading Punches are essential forming tools used in the cold heading and cold forging process to shape metal fasteners at room temperature. A cold heading punch tool works together with a cold heading die to form screw heads, bolt heads, and internal drive recesses such as hex socket, Torx, Phillips, and special profiles.

Our cold heading punches are designed for high-impact, high-speed forming operations and are widely used in screw cold heading machines, cold forging machines, and multi-station cold heading equipment.

Cold Heading Punch Types

We manufacture a full range of custom cold heading punches, including:

• Flat Head Cold Heading Punch

• Hex Socket Cold Heading Punch

• Torx / Star Drive Cold Heading Punch

• Phillips Cold Heading Punch

• Pozidriv Screw Punch

• Slotted Cold Heading Punch

• Special Screw Forming Punch (OEM & ODM)

These cold forging punches are suitable for one-die two-blow, two-die four-blow, and multi-blow cold heading machines.

Key Features of Cold Heading Punches

• High Precision Cold Heading Punch Design
  Ensures accurate screw head forming and consistent fastener dimensions.

• Excellent Wear Resistance
  Optimized material selection and heat treatment improve punch durability in continuous cold forging operations.

• High Impact Strength
  Designed to withstand extreme impact loads during cold heading and screw forming.

• Smooth Working Surface
  Polished forming surface reduces friction, material sticking, and surface defects.

• Custom Cold Heading Punch Solutions
  Punch size, shape, tolerance, material, and coating can be fully customized.

Cold Heading Punch Material Options

To meet different cold forging requirements, we provide various materials for cold heading punch tools:

• HSS Cold Heading Punch

• SKH-9 / SKH-51 Punch

• ASP23 / ASP30 PM Steel Cold Forging Punch

• H13 Tool Steel Cold Heading Punch

• Tungsten Carbide Punch (for special applications)

Material selection depends on fastener material, production speed, screw size, and cold heading machine type.

Surface Treatment & Coating

Advanced surface treatments are available to improve the performance of cold heading punches:

• TiN Coated Cold Heading Punch

• TiCN / AlTiN Coated Cold Forging Punch

• DLC Coated Screw Punch

• Nitrided Cold Heading Punch

• Mirror Polished Punch Surface

These treatments help extend punch life and improve forming stability.

FAQ – Cold Heading Punches

Q1: What is a cold heading punch?
A: A cold heading punch is a forming tool used in cold forging to create screw heads, bolt heads, and internal drive shapes by high-pressure forming.

Q2: What is the difference between a cold heading punch and a cold heading die?
A: A cold heading punch forms the shape with a protruding profile, while the cold heading die provides the cavity to support and shape the material.

Q3: Can you supply customized cold heading punches?
A: Yes, we specialize in custom cold heading punches according to drawings or samples.

Q4: Which cold heading punch material is best for stainless steel screws?
A: PM steels such as ASP23 or ASP30 are commonly used for stainless steel screw cold heading.

Q5: Do you offer coated cold heading punches?
A: Yes, TiN, TiCN, AlTiN, DLC, and nitriding treatments are available.
