Grain flow optimised forgings for maximum stability in critical environments
Forgings stand out for their optimized grain flow, which enhances fibre alignment and significantly improves structural integrity, making them ideal for critical applications such as bolts, pinions, gear wheels, and pressurised components. In closed-die forging, materials like steel and superalloys are reshaped between two die halves or, in some cases, additional die segments, further strengthening the component by aligning its internal grain structure. Forging materials that are challenging to work…
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.

Forged valve bodies and components are manufactured through a forging process in which steels or alloys are formed into their final shape. Forging wastes…
Every nut, bolt, and screw - forgings for harsh environments: corrosion and high …
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…
