Material expertise

All ductile and malleable metallic materials can be processed using cold forging. The material selection for a cold forged part depends primarily on the technical specifications and the material properties of the finished component.

With its wide-ranging experience in an extensive range of different materials, Walter Schneider is able to offer its customers extreme variability. We have pressed even highly specialized alloys such as permenorm in our production facilities.
