WHO WE ARE

More than cold-heading materials: connecting the critical manufacturing steps

Creation Group provides an end-to-end solution for the cold-forming industry, from raw-material selection and cold-heading material supply to tooling, heat treatment, surface treatment and failure analysis.

Our role is not to replace the customer's manufacturing decisions. We connect materials, tooling, processes, testing and root-cause analysis in one technical chain to reduce information gaps and improve forming and series-production stability.

CREATION GROUP / GROUP COMPOSITION

END-TO-END SOLUTION

A five-stage technical chain from materials to failure analysis

Each project starts with the final part, service conditions and production targets, then works backward to define the material, tooling, process, surface and validation plan.

01MATERIAL

Cold-heading materials

Match wire rod, cold-heading wire, shaped wire, shaped tube and delivery condition to the part, deformation and performance requirements.

Cold-heading tooling

Assess tooling material, design, service life and lubrication jointly with forming stages, loads and failure location.

Heat treatment

Confirm microstructure, hardness, decarburization and batch stability around spheroidizing annealing, quench-and-temper processing and the final performance window.

Surface treatment

Coordinate pickling and phosphating, lubrication, coatings and corrosion-protection requirements so the surface system matches cold forming and the service environment.

Failure analysis

Identify root causes of cracking, wear and performance anomalies through fracture evidence, metallography, hardness, chemistry, dimensions and process records.

CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT

Von Sondergüten bis zu Near-Net-Shape-Werkstoffen

Working backward from the final part, cold-heading deformation, strength-ductility window, cross-sectional geometry and downstream processes, we coordinate mills, tooling specialists and customers through trials, material and process validation, and production release.

01 · SPECIAL MATERIALS

Kundenspezifische Sonderwerkstoffe und neue Stahlgüten

When standard grades cannot meet a part's requirements, we work with steel mills to define chemistry, melting route and delivery condition, then validate an import-substitution or application-specific material through small-batch trials.

Project materials include 41CrS4, 10B38, 16MnCr5, 10B21M and 34CrNiMo6. Some special projects may start with an approximately 200 kg trial, subject to mill scheduling and the agreed technical specification.

02 · MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

Kundenspezifische mechanische Eigenschaftsfenster

Beyond grade-based supply, we define project-specific windows for diameter, tensile strength, elongation, within-coil variation and batch-to-batch consistency around the final part.

Past projects include SWCH10A 6.30 mm, full-coil property control for C4C, and 10B21 1.92 mm high-strength wire. Values shown online illustrate development capability only; order requirements are governed by the technical specification.

03 · STRENGTH & FORMABILITY

Hohe Festigkeit und Umformbarkeit bei großen Formänderungen

Chemistry, spheroidizing annealing, drawing reduction and delivery condition are coordinated to develop materials that combine high strength with complex multi-stage cold-heading formability.

10B21 and SCM435 projects are validated with actual multi-stage headed samples, cold-upsetting tests, metallography and mechanical properties, rather than treating any single index as a substitute for forming results.

04 · MATERIAL & TOOLING

Werkstoff- und Werkzeugentwicklung für profilierte Kaltumformteile

We work backward from the final part to define material cross-section, grain flow, forming stages and die loading, jointly developing shaped preform materials and cold-heading tooling.

For complex parts such as seat-belt locking blocks, the approach can reduce machining, powder-metallurgy or repeated sizing steps. Performance and cost improvements are verified for each project.

05 · CUSTOM PROFILES

Entwicklung von Werkstoffen mit Sonderquerschnitten

We develop non-round sections, complex profiles and near-net-shape materials for seat-belt locking blocks, bearing cages, transmission parts and precision structural components.

Critical dimensions, tolerances, radii, surface quality and production consistency are controlled to the customer drawing, with sample validation matched to the downstream forming route.

Werkstoff- und Prozessentwicklung für ultradünnwandige Rohre measurement record 1

06 · ULTRA-THIN-WALL TUBE

Werkstoff- und Prozessentwicklung für ultradünnwandige Rohre

For small ultra-thin-wall tubes, we coordinate material ductility, wall-thickness uniformity, roundness, surface condition and cut-end deformation with the drawing or forming route, tooling and inspection plan.

The photographed samples record caliper readings of 0.53 mm and 0.27 mm. Final dimensional definitions, tolerances and measurement methods are governed by the drawing, calibrated instruments and the technical specification.

These examples demonstrate development and project capability; they are not standard supply commitments for every grade or value. Final material, dimensions, properties, trial quantity and acceptance method are governed by the mutually approved drawing, applicable standard and technical specification.
