Shaping Fasteners with Precision and Efficiency

Heading is a fundamental process in fastener manufacturing, where a raw metal wire is forged into the initial shape of a fastener, such as a bolt or a rivet. This process involves applying pressure to the material, typically through a die, to form the desired head shape. At JM Hardware®, our advanced heading techniques ensure high precision, producing fasteners that meet the specific requirements of our clients.

Application

Heading is crucial for creating the characteristic heads of fasteners, such as hex heads, flat heads, and pan heads. By using high-speed, automatic heading machines, we are able to produce fasteners with consistent shapes and dimensions. This process is especially important for high-volume production, where uniformity and efficiency are critical.

How the Heading Process Works:

Material Selection

The process starts with choosing the right wire material. Depending on the intended application, we use various types of metal, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloys.

Pre-Heating

The wire is pre-heated to make it more malleable, allowing it to be shaped effectively without compromising material integrity.

Forming the Head

The wire is then placed into a heading machine, where it is compressed using a die. This creates the desired head shape, whether it’s a hexagonal, round, or custom shape tailored to the client’s needs.

Trimming

Once the head is formed, excess material is trimmed away to create the final fastener shape.
