Simulate Fastener Rolling Operations James Miller, Senior Research Scientist, Scientific Forming Technologies Corporation, Columbus, OH, USA, says, “Fastener manufacturers often include secondary rolling operations such as thread rolling or form rolling in their production processes. Performed after the primary cold forming or hot forging processes, secondary operations allow manufacturers to add value to their finished products. They might also offer production efficiency and cost advantages versus alternative forming methods.
