Jamcor/SJS Products provides the unique precision capabilities of cold forging services for use manufacturing heat sinks and other high-strength metal components used in thermal systems or electronic applications. By shaping metals at or near room temperature using high-pressure instead of extreme heat, cold forging services produce components with exceptional durability, accuracy, and material efficiency. While our cold forging services are available as an individual service offering, they are critical to our role in developing complex multi-process parts and assemblies that require heat sinks, structural components, and integrated assemblies. Cold forging is ideal for processes where high-speed production is required while still creating a strong, high-quality finished product.
Cold forging services at Jamcor/SJS Products are routinely used to shape materials like aluminum, copper, and stainless steel using compressive force without the need for heat. By not requiring heat which can lead to material waste or undesirable material changes, cold forging services improve material properties while simultaneously producing highly accurate and repeatable components. As the metal is compressed and not melted or removed using subtractive machining, cold forged parts increased strength through strain hardening, have improved material density, high dimensional accuracy, and smooth surface finishes. Jamcor’s in-house cold forging services are routinely used to produce heat sinks, small enclosures, structural components, fasteners, hardware, and any other components requiring high-durabiliyt under stress.
Cold forging services offer a unique advantage for thermal management systems, particularly in the production of heat sinks and other components used to effectively dissipate heat and protect sensitive electronics. As this process compresses the metal and aligns the internal grain structure, cold forged parts exhibit tremendous strength and thermal conductivity properties compared to die cast or CNC machined alternatives. The key thermal benefits include dense material structure, smooth surface finishes, complex fin geometries, and reduced porosity compared to cast components. Our cold forging services are frequently specified by customers in the power electronics, telecommunications, data center, and other applications.
As with many of our other manufacturing services, cold forging is frequently used in tandem with a broader manufacturing plan that supports the complete start-to-finish production of complex electronic assemblies and thermal management systems. Any parts produced using cold forging services are frequently combined with CNC machining, aluminum extruded parts, injection molded components, die cast encolusres, and various fasteners or hardware. By integrating our cold forging solutions with broader manufacturing services, we can help our customer reduce part counts, simplify designs, improve component compatibility, and streamline production efficiency with reduced lead times or costs.
Cold forging is more than just bending metal at room temperature. It is a unique manufacturing process that uses high-pressure compression to produce stronger and more precise components with minimal material waste.
Not all metals are suitable for cold forging, but common materials include aluminum, copper, and stainless steel which are specified most frequently for their strength, thermal conductivity properties, and application-specific requirements.
Cold forging produces dense, high-strength parts with enhanced thermal conductivity while maintaining a pristine surface finish, making it highly effective for heat dissipation purposes.
Cold forging does not require the heat of casting or aggressive subtractive machining that can lead to material defects or waste. Cold forging increases the internal structure of parts and allows for tighter tolerances and higher end strength.
