Production of upset forgings, rings, and cylinders in nearly all available grades, with forging diameters up to 26 inches and individual piece weights up to 1,500 pounds.
Manufactured flanges up to 14 inches with full Quality Assurance Program traceability, primarily serving the commercial nuclear sector's stringent production and compliance requirements.
Contour forging in a wide range of materials including Ferralium 255 duplex stainless steel, demonstrating MTS Forge's ability to supply specialty alloys for demanding industrial applications.
Custom-forged components tailored to exact specifications for small parts or large structures, combining advanced technology with time-honored craftsmanship and 100% Made in America production.
In-house normalizing heat treatment at our Coatesville, PA facility refines grain structure, improves tensile strength, enhances toughness, and relieves internal stresses in finished forge components.
At MTS Forge's Coatesville, Pennsylvania facility, every alloy steel forged component is produced with metallurgical precision and backed by a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program. Our large inventory of in-house tooling lets us create near-net shapes rather than machining from bar stock—cutting material waste and your unit cost significantly. Whether your application demands Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, or Mil Q9858 compliance, our team delivers fully traceable, high-integrity forgings suited for aerospace, defense, nuclear, and power generation environments.
Backed by nearly four decades of metallurgical expertise, MTS Forge is the trusted forging partner for America's most demanding industries.
Founded by metallurgists, our team brings deep material science knowledge to every alloy steel forging produced.
Our extensive in-house tooling inventory enables cost-effective near-net shape production across Pennsylvania and customer sites nationwide.
Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, and Mil Q9858 certifications ensure every forged component meets strict military, nuclear, and aerospace compliance standards.
Complete material and process traceability through our Quality Assurance Program supports critical procurement requirements in defense and power generation.
Experienced metallurgists and forging specialists dedicated to precision and quality.
