MTS Forge delivers precision-engineered carbon steel forged flanges built to the exacting standards demanded by nuclear, power generation, defense, and industrial pipeline applications. With complete traceability, in-house heat treatment, and over 38 years of metallurgical expertise from our Coatesville, PA facility, every flange we produce offers superior strength, dimensional accuracy, and long-term reliability under the most demanding service conditions.
From standard flange production to custom configurations, we deliver forged solutions with complete quality assurance and traceability.
Production of carbon steel forged flanges up to 14 inches in size, manufactured to meet stringent industry standards. The majority of flanges produced serve commercial nuclear and power generation sectors requiring complete traceability.
Custom-forged carbon steel flange configurations tailored to exact client specifications. Combining cutting-edge technology with decades of metallurgical expertise to ensure every flange meets the highest standards of durability and dimensional performance.
In-house normalizing heat treatment for forged flanges, refining grain structure and eliminating internal stresses. This process improves tensile strength, toughness, and machinability, ensuring flanges meet mechanical property requirements for critical applications.
Post-forging rough machining brings carbon steel flanges to near-net shape, removing forging flash and surface irregularities. This in-house capability reduces lead times and eliminates the need for customers to source a separate machining vendor.
Special forgings crafted to Section III nuclear applications and governed by a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program encompassing Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, and Mil Q9858 standards, ensuring top-tier precision and reliability throughout production.
Contour forging services in a broad range of materials including alloy steels and high-performance stainless steels. MTS Forge's in-house tooling design capability enables cost-effective production of complex flange contours and non-standard geometries.
Carbon steel forged flanges from MTS Forge are manufactured at our Coatesville, PA facility under a rigorous Quality Assurance Program that ensures complete traceability from raw material to finished component. Unlike plate flanges, our forged products offer a denser, more uniform grain structure that delivers superior pressure ratings and fatigue resistance—essential for pipeline, power generation, and nuclear installations. With in-house heat treatment, rough machining, and a large tooling inventory, we reduce lead times and lower overall unit costs for procurement teams across Pennsylvania, Iowa, Kentucky, and Texas.

Forged flanges are used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment in pressurized piping systems. They are critical in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, commercial nuclear, chemical processing, and defense, where leak-proof, high-strength connections are required. Their forged construction provides superior pressure resistance compared to alternative joining methods.
