Luvata Ohio, Inc.
Utilizing our cold-forming expertise to deliver material costs savings
Employing roughly 100 people, we're located in Delaware, Ohio just north of Columbus. We specialize in using our unique cold forming expertise to manufacture high quality copper formed products in large quantities. This offers customers materials cost savings compared with traditional machining.
We manufacture resistance-welding electrodes, welding accessories and other similar copper formed products. The performance and reputation of our electrodes and welding accessories continues to grow as one of the most respected manufacturers in the industry.
Luvata Ohio established its first cold-forming operation in 1960. From simple part geometry to extremely complex parts available today, cold-forming has come a long way.
Cold-forming is the process of shaping metals at high speed and high pressure into tool dies. Cold-forming dramatically reduces waste by optimizing the raw material incorporated into every finished part. It is extremely fast, allowing for short cycle times, critical in high-volume production applications.
Cold-forming is used in a wide variety of industries to make electrical, automotive, industrial and commercial components. Historically component shapes were generally limited to rotationally symmetrical and axisymmetric, including bolts, nuts and simple components. However, shape capability is expanding greatly by developments in technology and machine capability. Innovations in complex tooling design allow for cold-forming of difficult part geometry.
With appropriate force, materials such as copper, aluminum, brass and even stainless steel can be formed to the required shape. A simple blank cropped from a round bar or wire is placed within a die and a punch is pressed into the blank at ambient temperature. Put more simply, cold-forming is making a shape from material at room temperature.
highly polished surfaces, the performance of a component can be improved dramatically.
Cold-forming is capable of delivering complex, precision-engineered parts with good surface finish at high speeds. It also produces a hardening effect, which further improves part durability and machinability, making it ideal for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and alternative energy where precision and reliability is critical.
Luvata offers a full selection of materials from high conductivity to materials that restrict softening at elevated temperatures. To complement the cold-heading process, Luvata also provides annealing, machining and plating operations.
