Grain flow optimised forgings for maximum stability in critical environments
The author, Thomas Henneke (CEO of KB), presenting forged sling and lifting gear at an exhibition booth.
Forging vs. Casting
In casting, raw materials are poured into moulds, resulting in a structure lacking specific grain alignment. This can lead to various defects, such as porosity, inclusions, and shrinkage, ultimately compromising the structural integrity of the finished product. In contrast, forging inherently avoids these issues by refining the internal structure, leading to superior strength and fatigue resistance.
Forged parts consistently exhibit greater reliability compared to their cast counterparts. Although casting can create intricate shapes and hollow structures, the mechanical performance of cast components is often compromised by inherent defects and a suboptimal microstructure, which can lead to issues such as lower mechanical strength and ductility. Therefore, for applications demanding high strength and structural integrity-such as bolts, gear wheels, and pressurised components-forging remains the superior choice.

"For 20 years, we have been assisting our clients in optimising forged components through material flow simulation and advising on the transition from assemblies such as welded structures or cast parts to forged components with optimised grain flow."

Examples: forged holders, hoists, hooks, chain links, special screws, pipe connections, and pressure-bearing components. Additionally forged parts for nuclear, hydrogen and cryogenic valves, parts for boiler systems and power plants in general, as well as seawater-compatible components designed for corrosive applications in naval vessels, boats, and ship technology.
Furthermore corrosion-resistant and acid-resistant forgings suitable for molten salt applications, desalination, petrochemical industries, fertilizer production, food processing, drilling equipment, and marine and underwater technology, including military and defence applications.

Steel for nuclear reactor vessels - temperature, pressure, corrosion
Reactor steels are special alloys used in nuclear power plants to handle the extreme conditions inside a reactor. In addition to high temperatures and pressures, these steels must also be able to withstand radiation.
Properties and requirements
The most important requirements for a reactor steel are heat and radiation resistance, as well as mechanical strength. These properties are achieved through the composition of the alloy and special manufacturing processes (forging, heat treatment,…
Examples of forgings: forged valves
Forgings in general are used when components are exposed to extreme loads and the area of application places the highest demands on them, such as high pressure, aggressive media, high or low temperatures, high security, and nuclear technology.

Drop forgings are always used when components are exposed to extreme loads and the area of application places the highest demands on them, such as high pressure, aggressive media, high or low temperatures, high security, and nuclear technology.
👉Grain-Flow Forging
Forged parts have a grain flow, like the fibre structure of wood, caused by plastic deformation during the forging process. Proper orientation of grain flow can improve the physical properties of the…
