Custom-forged stainless steel products tailored to exact specifications, combining cutting-edge technology and time-honored craftsmanship to deliver components meeting the highest standards of durability and performance.
Special forgings in 316-L Stainless Steel for Section III applications, manufactured under a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program encompassing Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, and Mil Q9858 for precision-critical environments.
In-house normalizing heat treatment for forged flange components, producing refined uniform microstructure with improved tensile strength, enhanced toughness, and consistent mechanical properties throughout each part.
In-house rough machining applied directly after forging to bring flanges close to near-net shape, reducing lead times, eliminating separate vendor handling, and ensuring tight dimensional control from early in production.
Contour forging services in a diverse range of materials including duplex stainless steels such as Ferralium 255, demonstrating MTS Forge's capability to supply complex flange geometries beyond standard offerings.
At MTS Forge's Coatesville, PA facility, every stainless steel pipe flange is produced under a rigorous Quality Assurance Program with full material traceability — a requirement we've met for commercial nuclear customers for decades. Our in-house forging, heat treatment, and rough machining capabilities eliminate the hand-offs that introduce risk and delay. Whether your application demands 316-L for Section III compliance or a duplex grade for corrosive service, we have the metallurgical expertise and tooling inventory to deliver flanges up to 14 inches that perform reliably in the most demanding environments.

Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986 with a vision of delivering high-quality forging solutions to America's most demanding industries. Bringing a deep metallurgical background and comprehensive knowledge of forging practices, Edward has helped guide the company's investment in cutting-edge technology and in-house capabilities — including heat treatment, rough machining, and tooling design — that set MTS Forge apart from standard forging suppliers. His commitment to precision, traceability, and continuous improvement has been central to MTS Forge's reputation for reliability in commercial nuclear, aerospace, and power generation applications. Edward's leadership has ensured that every stainless steel flange and forged component leaving the Coatesville, PA facility reflects the craftsmanship and technical rigor the company was founded upon.
ASTM A182 is the primary standard governing forged or rolled alloy and stainless steel pipe flanges, fittings, and valves for high-temperature service. It specifies chemical composition, mechanical properties, heat treatment requirements, and testing procedures for grades including F304, F316, F316L, and duplex grades. MTS Forge produces flanges to meet ASTM A182 and related nuclear and defense specifications.
