From seamless rolled ring forgings to precision upset rings and cylinders, MTS Forge delivers forged and rolled rings engineered to exact specifications. With over 38 years of metallurgical expertise and in-house capabilities spanning heat treatment to rough machining, we serve aerospace, defense, power generation, and industrial manufacturers who demand uncompromising dimensional accuracy and material integrity.
Comprehensive ring forging capabilities across a wide range of materials, sizes, and industry-grade specifications.
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 lbs per piece, serving aerospace, defense, and power generation applications.
Precision closed die forgings that minimize expensive raw material usage and reduce machining costs, lowering unit costs. Produced in high-performance materials including Monel K-500 for corrosion-critical environments.
Contour forging services in a diverse range of materials, including duplex stainless steels like Ferralium 255, enabling complex near-net shapes that reduce downstream machining and material waste.
In-house normalizing heat treatment performed at our Coatesville, PA facility, refining grain structure, relieving internal stresses, and improving tensile strength, toughness, and machinability across all forged ring products.
In-house rough machining applied immediately post-forging to bring rings and cylinders to near-net shape, reducing lead times and handling risk while eliminating the need for a separate machining vendor.
Custom-forged rings and shapes tailored to exact customer specifications, combining cutting-edge technology with time-honored craftsmanship. Made in America, built for the most demanding structural and industrial requirements.
Our metallurgical team reviews your engineering requirements, tolerances, and material specifications. We select from a broad inventory of alloy steels, stainless steels, and high-performance alloys to match the exact mechanical properties your application demands.

Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986, bringing a deep metallurgical background and comprehensive knowledge of forging practices to the company from day one. Together with Stephen Carr, Edward helped grow MTS Forge on the principles of quality and service — values that remain embedded in the company's culture nearly four decades later. Edward's technical expertise has been instrumental in developing MTS Forge's capabilities across closed die forgings, rolled rings, upset forgings, contour forgings, and specialized forgings for demanding sectors including aerospace, defense, and commercial nuclear. His vision for precision, traceability, and in-house process control continues to define how MTS Forge approaches every customer project at the Coatesville, PA facility.
Lead times for rolled ring production at MTS Forge vary based on material availability, part complexity, and order volume. However, our vertically integrated facility — with in-house forging, heat treatment, and rough machining — significantly compresses lead times compared to multi-vendor supply chains.
