Hello Ed, I plan to thread the bolts with rollers. The main concern for me was if the 1045 steel can be cold forged for this purpose of making the head of the bolts. I've machined forged camshafts of 1045 steel but they were made with the hot forging method. I must say I have zero experience in t

Hello Dave. The idea is to achieve a maximum hardness 25 HRc after cold forging with heat treatment. Before the forging I would like the less hardness possible of course. These values are arbitrary and are subject to change, but to start the idea is that. 2018-07-10 13:15 GMT-03:00 Dave Cole :

So these need to be hardened after cold forging ? You want them to have a max 25 HRc after forging and prior to heat treatment? Dave On 7/10/2018 11:54 AM, Leonardo Marsaglia wrote: Hello to all. I'm trying to figure out wich is the best material for making cold formed bolts wich need to hav

Hello to all. I'm trying to figure out wich is the best material for making cold formed bolts wich need to have 25 HRc of maximum hardness. I was thinking about using 1022 steel wich is suitable for cold forging but I'm afraid the hardness process will be much more complicated than just quenching
