MTS Forge delivers precision-manufactured forged carbon steel valves engineered to withstand extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments. With nearly four decades of metallurgical expertise and in-house forging, heat treatment, and machining capabilities, we supply valves that meet the most demanding standards in aerospace, defense, power generation, and oil & gas applications.
From closed die forging to final machining, we deliver carbon steel valve components built to exact specifications for critical industries.
Precision closed die forgings for carbon steel valve bodies, bonnets, and end caps. This process minimizes raw material waste and reduces machining costs, delivering consistent valve components at lower unit costs without sacrificing dimensional accuracy.
Bespoke forged carbon steel valve components crafted to exact customer drawings and specifications. From small trim pieces to large valve bodies, our team combines cutting-edge technology with time-honored craftsmanship to meet the highest standards of durability.
In-house normalizing heat treatment for forged valve components to relieve internal stresses, refine grain structure, and ensure uniform mechanical properties — critical for valves operating under high pressure, high temperature, or cyclic loading conditions.
Post-forging rough machining services that bring carbon steel valve blanks close to near-net shape, removing flash and surface irregularities. This in-house capability reduces lead times and eliminates the need for customers to source a separate machining vendor.
Special-grade carbon steel forgings manufactured to stringent industry standards including Mil I 45208 and NCA 3800, with a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program ensuring full traceability — ideal for nuclear, defense, and critical power generation valve applications.
Contour forging services for complex valve geometries that require near-net shaping beyond standard die configurations. Our material versatility and large tooling inventory enable cost-effective production of intricate carbon steel valve profiles across a broad range of alloy grades.
We begin by selecting the appropriate carbon steel grade for your valve's pressure class, temperature range, and application environment. Billets are cut to precise weights using our in-house sawing service, ensuring accurate material input and minimizing excess stock from the outset.

Co-Founder
Edward Waddell is a co-founder of MTS Forge and has been instrumental in shaping the company's technical direction since its establishment in 1986. Alongside Stephen Carr, Edward leveraged his metallurgical background and extensive knowledge of forging practices to build a manufacturing operation recognized for its consistency, precision, and commitment to customer satisfaction. Edward's expertise spans the full forging production sequence — from material selection and die design to heat treatment and inspection — making him a key authority on the production of forged carbon steel valve components that meet stringent industry standards. His dedication to continuous improvement and investment in advanced forging technology has kept MTS Forge at the forefront of American-made industrial forgings for nearly four decades.
Forged steel valves are valve bodies and components manufactured through a forging process, where heated steel billets are shaped under high compressive pressure using dies. This process creates a refined, directional grain structure that gives the material superior strength, pressure integrity, and fatigue resistance compared to cast or machined-from-bar alternatives — making forged valves the preferred choice for high-pressure and high-temperature pipeline and process applications.
