Our Aluminum Bronze Forging Services

From closed die forgings to custom contour shapes, we deliver precision aluminum bronze components across a full range of forging processes.

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.

Upset Forgings, Rings & Cylinders

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.

Contour Forgings

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.

Custom Forgings

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.

Heat Treatment

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.

Rough Machining

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.
