Tekay Cold Drawing Line
In the modern automotive industry, precision and strength are the cornerstones of reliability and safety. At TEKAY, we understand that every component, no matter how small, plays a critical role in overall vehicle performance. That’s why we have invested in an advanced Cold Drawing Line, operated entirely in-house, to ensure each part we produce meets the highest standards in quality and durability.
🔍 What is Cold Drawing?
Cold drawing is a metal forming process in which steel bars or wires are pulled through a die at room temperature. Unlike hot working, cold drawing significantly improves the mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish of the material — all without altering its shape.
This precision-driven process is essential for producing metal parts used in demanding environments like automotive suspensions, trailer systems, and heavy-duty applications.
🛠 Key Benefits of Cold Drawing at TEKAY
At Tekay, our cold drawing process is engineered to meet both OEM and aftermarket requirements with unparalleled accuracy. Here’s what makes our cold-drawn materials stand out:
-
✅ Increased Strength and Hardness
Cold working raises the tensile strength of steel, making parts more resistant to stress and fatigue. -
✅ Superior Surface Finish
Smooth surfaces reduce friction and wear, ensuring a longer lifespan for components like U-Bolts and bushings. -
✅ Enhanced Dimensional Tolerances
Tight tolerances result in precise fittings and reliable installations. -
✅ Better Machinability
Cold-drawnsteel allows for easier and more efficient downstream machining processes.
-
✅ Reduced Material Waste
Optimized shaping helps minimize material loss, supporting more sustainable production.
