Forgings

Uldry Steel

Forging is the oldest mechanical metal forming process whereby steel is given a particular shape by the application of a compressive force. Usually the compressive force is in the form of hammer blows using a power hammer or a press. Heat treatment after the forging process determines the exact mechanical properties needed for further processing or end use.

Forging refines the grain structure and improves the physical properties of the metal, resulting in a product that is stronger than cast or machined metal parts, more resistant to corrosion and effective at high temperatures. With proper design, the grain flow can be oriented in the direction of principal stresses encountered in actiual use. Forgings are used in a variety of mechanical applications in heavy industries such as mining, construction and oil & gas exploration.

Uldry Steel offers a range of high quality closed and open die forgings. We supply steel forgings from 0.5kg to 70 tons and rolled rings with max 8000mm diameter and 2500mm height, in pre or machine finished form, in a variety of grades from low carbon to stainless and duplex. In collaboration with our partner mills, we can develop a suitable solution for your specific application to ensure a 100% satisfying product.
