Increase in the Adoption of Cold Forged Parts Augments Market Growth
Cold-forged parts are prime products in the fastening and fixing industry which are produced from CHQ wires. CHQ has excellent properties like high durability, design flexibility, etc. CHQ wire is available with special designs for cold forged products so that manufacturers could produce highly efficient bolts, nuts, etc., The product manufactured from CHQ have excellent dimension accuracy and surface quality. The products of cold forging improve the mechanical properties of the wire, and the improvement itself permits the wire to work in extreme weather conditions.
For instance, in June 2024, India’s Super Screws Pvt. Ltd., and Mitsuchi Corporation of Japan agreed to form a JV for manufacturing cold forged parts in India. Similarly, the manufacturing facility to be established in the country through this joint venture will cater not only to the needs of the country but also export into other markets around the world. The collaboration between Super Screws Pvt Ltd. and Mitsuchi Corporation is an amalgamation of Super Screws’ outstanding capabilities in the engineering domain with highly sophisticated production techniques provided by Mitsuchi Corporation. The new program will give an upward curve to the growth rate in the use of cold-forged parts within the country and elsewhere in the world.
Additionally, in February 2024, CRU International Ltd launched a new European CHQ wire rod pricing assessment to meet the increasing demand for the fastener and fixing industry. The new CHQ wire rod assessment covers the 20MnB4 grade, defined by its chemical composition, including manganese with 0.90–1.00% and boron with 0.002–0.0004%. The core size of the products ranges between 5 mm to 15 mm.
Rapid Technological Developments of CHQ Wires to Fuel Market Growth
