Strengthen your parts production supply chain. We have a reputation as a trusted and proven manufacturer of high-quality steel components. We take pride in our ability to save our customers time and money while delivering unparalleled customer service.
Steel impact extrusion creates near-net-shape parts that can lower per-part costs while improving quality. Impacting is often quicker than most other metal-forming processes. Our process is backed by decades of experience and on-site tool and die expertise that can accelerate project timelines while reducing material waste and costs.

The process for cold-steel impact extrusion is similar to aluminum impact extrusion, but with additional challenges that only a capable manufacturer can address. Advanced engineering solutions are required to counter the increased stresses that tooling and equipment endure during steel impact extrusion. Our in-house engineers solve these challenges, creating processes to meet cost, quality, and delivery demands. We employ advanced finite element analysis to optimize our tool design.
With robotic integrations on our hydraulic and mechanical presses, we are capable of producing small- and large-envelope extrusions at high volumes. Supporting operations such as heat-treating and automated lubrication are optimized to support the sheer volume of products processed each year. Thunderbird Metals ensures part quality using high-tech measuring machines and rigorous first- and last-piece inspections.
