Warm Forming

Warm forming is a metal shaping process carried out at intermediate temperatures, typically between 200°C and 800°C. In this process, materials are heated enough to reduce forming resistance but not so high as to cause significant grain growth or oxidation. This process bridges the gap between cold and hot forming, offering improved formability, reduced springback, and better dimensional accuracy.

It’s especially useful for forming high-strength steels, aluminum alloys, and other materials that are difficult to shape at room temperature. Warm forming is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and appliance industries to produce complex, lightweight components with excellent surface quality.

Induction heating is ideal for warm forming because it delivers rapid, localized heating with precise temperature control. CEIA induction systems are commonly used in these applications for their efficiency, repeatability, and ability to integrate with automated production lines.
