Precision closed die forgings in materials including Monel K-500 and high-performance alloys. Minimizes raw material waste and machining costs, delivering lower unit costs without compromising structural integrity.
Production of upset forgings, rings, and cylinders in nearly all market grades. Maximum forging diameter of 26 inches and weight capacity up to 1,500 pounds per piece for demanding industrial applications.
Forged flanges manufactured up to 14 inches in size with full traceability under a rigorous Quality Assurance Program. Predominantly supplied to the commercial nuclear sector where zero-defect standards are mandatory.
Contour forging services using advanced materials such as Ferralium 255 duplex stainless steel, demonstrating MTS Forge's capability to supply specialty and exotic alloys beyond standard material offerings.
In-house normalizing heat treatment performed at our Coatesville, PA facility. Refines grain structure, relieves internal stresses, and improves tensile strength, toughness, and machinability of forged components.
Post-forging rough machining services that bring components to near-net shape in-house, reducing lead times and handling risk while eliminating the need for a separate machining vendor in your supply chain.
At MTS Forge's Coatesville, PA facility, every custom forging project begins with deep metallurgical understanding and ends with a component built to perform in the most demanding environments. Our large tooling inventory allows us to forge near-net shapes rather than machine from bar stock — dramatically cutting your material and processing costs. Whether you're sourcing for aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, or power generation, our Quality Assurance Program ensures complete traceability from raw material to finished part, meeting certifications including Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, and Mil Q9858.
