Closed Die Forgings
Precision aluminum bronze closed die forgings that minimize raw material waste and reduce machining costs, delivering consistent dimensional accuracy and lower unit costs for high-volume or critical-application components.
Aluminum bronze forgings deliver exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and wear performance for the most demanding industrial applications. At MTS Forge, we combine over 40 years of metallurgical expertise with state-of-the-art forging technology to produce aluminum bronze components built to your exact specifications—serving aerospace, defense, power generation, and beyond.

From closed die forgings to custom contour shapes, we deliver precision aluminum bronze components across a full range of forging processes.
Precision aluminum bronze closed die forgings that minimize raw material waste and reduce machining costs, delivering consistent dimensional accuracy and lower unit costs for high-volume or critical-application components.
Aluminum bronze upset forgings, rings, and cylinders produced up to 26 inches in diameter and 1,500 lbs per piece, covering a comprehensive range of grades for structural and industrial applications.
Custom contour forging services in aluminum bronze, leveraging MTS Forge's broad material expertise to produce near-net-shape components that reduce downstream machining requirements and material waste.
Tailored aluminum bronze forgings engineered to exact customer specifications—from small precision parts to large structural components—using cutting-edge technology and time-honored American craftsmanship.
In-house normalizing heat treatment for aluminum bronze forgings, refining grain structure and relieving internal stresses to deliver consistent mechanical properties, improved tensile strength, and enhanced toughness.
Post-forge rough machining services that bring aluminum bronze components to near-net shape, removing flash and surface irregularities to reduce lead times and eliminate the need for a separate machining vendor.

Our metallurgical team reviews your specifications and application requirements to select the optimal aluminum bronze alloy grade. We assess mechanical property targets, corrosion environment, and load demands to ensure the right material is specified from the start.

Yes, aluminum bronze is an excellent candidate for hot forging. The forging process refines the grain structure of aluminum bronze, significantly improving its mechanical properties compared to castings or machined bar. Forged aluminum bronze delivers superior tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance—making it well-suited for demanding marine, aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. MTS Forge has the metallurgical expertise to forge aluminum bronze alloys to precise specifications.
