Closed Die Forgings
We produce closed die forgings in alloy steel and specialty materials, minimizing raw material waste and machining costs to deliver lower unit costs without compromising dimensional accuracy or mechanical integrity.
MTS Forge delivers precision alloy steel forgings engineered to withstand the most demanding industrial environments. From aerospace and defense to power generation and commercial nuclear, our Pennsylvania-based facility combines metallurgical expertise with advanced forging technology to produce components that meet the tightest tolerances—with full traceability, in-house heat treatment, and Made-in-America quality your procurement team can depend on.
From closed die and upset forgings to custom shapes and flanges, we deliver precision alloy steel forgings across demanding industries.
We produce closed die forgings in alloy steel and specialty materials, minimizing raw material waste and machining costs to deliver lower unit costs without compromising dimensional accuracy or mechanical integrity.
Available in nearly all commercial grades, our upset forgings, rings, and cylinders accommodate diameters up to 26 inches and individual piece weights up to 1,500 pounds for critical industrial applications.
Our contour forging capability spans a broad range of alloy and specialty materials, including duplex stainless steels, enabling complex near-net shapes that reduce downstream machining and shorten lead times.
We engineer custom-forged alloy steel components to exact customer specifications, from small precision parts to large structural forgings, backed by cutting-edge technology, in-house tooling design, and decades of metallurgical expertise.
We manufacture flanges up to 14 inches and specialized manways in alloy steel for commercial nuclear, power generation, and industrial sectors, supported by a rigorous Quality Assurance Program with full production traceability.
In-house normalizing heat treatment and rough machining at our Coatesville, PA facility refine grain structure, relieve internal stresses, and bring forged components to near-net shape—reducing vendor touchpoints and total project cost.
At MTS Forge's Coatesville, Pennsylvania facility, alloy steel forgings are produced with metallurgical precision for industries where failure is not an option. Our large tooling inventory allows us to shape parts rather than machine them from bar stock, substantially reducing material costs. Every forging is backed by a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program—including full traceability and certifications to Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, and Mil Q9858—meeting the exacting demands of aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and power generation procurement teams across Pennsylvania, Iowa, Kentucky, and Texas.

Edward's vision for precision manufacturing and American-made quality continues to define MTS Forge's value proposition to manufacturers and procurement teams across the country.
Yes, alloy steel is one of the most preferred materials for forging. Its alloying elements—such as chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and vanadium—enhance strength, toughness, hardenability, and fatigue resistance compared to plain carbon steel. The forging process further refines alloy steel's grain structure, producing components with superior mechanical properties that are well-suited for high-stress applications in aerospace, defense, power generation, and oil and gas.
