In today's manufacturing scenario, where shortage of raw materials, power & increasing pressure to reduce costs are the order of the day, 'Cold Forging' is possibly the most suitable solution for these pressing issues. Cold forging technology utilizes innovative design coupled with process sequencing to not only reduce costs by utilizing lesser raw material but also imparts greater strength to the component, in addition to increased productivity. The primary advantage is the material savings achieved through precision shapes that require little finishing. Completely contained impressions and extrusion-type metal flow yield draftless, close-tolerance components. Production rates are very high with exceptional die life. However, Tool design and manufacture are very critical for reliable production of parts.

Keeping this in view, IMTMA is organizing an online training on "Cold Forging - Process, DFM and Quality considerations".

This programme will benefit practicing engineers and senior technical personnel involved in the functions of Design and Development, Process Planning, Product Engineering, Application engineering, R&D, Manufacturing, Quality Assurance, Servicing etc., and other related areas from Machine Tool, Automobile & auto ancillaries, Tool rooms, Defence and Railway establishments, General Engineering and other Capital goods manufacturing industries.

The programme will be highly interactive where participants can raise questions and solicit feedback from the expert faculty.

This programme will be conducted by Mr. H. C. Parthasarathy, Industry expert in Cold Forging and manufacturing engineering.

Mr. Parthasarathy is a Mechanical Engineer by profession has served in the manufacturing sector for over 45 years at reputed organizations such as TELCO, Bosch, MICO, TVS and BPL. He has hands on experience in developing more than 100 components utilizing the cold forging technology. He also has two international process patents in this field.
