Home / Forging processes / Open die forgings
Open die forgings up to 30,000 kg in carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and nickel-based alloys, forged under hammers and presses of up to 5,000 t.
Shafts, blocks, cylinders and rings; bonnets, casing heads, tubing spools, hangers and connectors for oil and gas equipment; and heavy parts for transmissions, pressure vessels, metallurgical machinery and construction machinery.
1
We check the drawing, material and feasibility with the forging plant.
2
The billet is heated and forged under the hammer or press to the forged size.
3
Normalising, quenching, tempering, stress relieving or solution annealing, with a short quench transfer.
4
Non-destructive testing and mechanical tests follow, with a material test report.
Up to 30,000 kg.
Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and nickel-based alloys.
In five furnaces with two quenching pools, built to API 6A requirements. The transfer to the quench takes 60 seconds or less.
Ultrasonic, magnetic particle and penetrant testing by qualified inspectors, plus tensile, impact and hardness tests, chemical analysis and metallography.
Rolled rings and special shape rings up to 15,000 kg.
Furnaces and quenching pools for forged parts.
Testing, inspection and documents.
