Cold Forging:

Cold forging is a family of forming processes in which a slug of material with a defined volume is formed into an intricately shaped part of exactly the same volume. Tools used in these processes are subject to high forces applied at high rates, which results in abrasive and adhesive wear on the surfaces in contact with the work piece.
