Open-dieforging.
Shafts, rings and blocks up to 18 t
Shafts, rings, discs and blocks up to 18 t, forged on a 2,500 t press from ingots we melt ourselves.
Because the ingot is poured in our own melt shop, the heat number, chemistry and cleanliness data carry straight through to the forging. Reduction ratios and forging temperatures are logged for every piece.
Most forgings leave rough or finish machined, heat treated and ultrasonically tested, with one certificate covering the whole route.
Questions about open-die forging
At least 3:1 on shafts and 4:1 where the standard or your drawing requires it, recorded per piece.
Yes. Most forgings leave rough or finish machined, heat treated and UT tested.
We prefer our own melt for traceability, but we can forge supplied material when it comes with its certificates.
