When extreme heat, pressure, and corrosive environments demand the best, Inconel forgings deliver. MTS Forge brings nearly 40 years of metallurgical expertise to every Inconel component we produce — from aerospace assemblies to power generation hardware. Our Pennsylvania facility handles closed die forgings, upset forgings, flanges, and custom shapes with full traceability and proven quality assurance.
From closed die and upset forgings to custom Inconel components, we deliver precision-forged parts for the most demanding applications.
High-precision closed die forgings in Inconel and other superalloys. This process minimizes raw material waste and reduces machining costs, delivering near-net-shape components with superior mechanical integrity at lower unit cost.
Inconel upset forgings, rings, and cylinders produced in nearly all available grades. Maximum forging diameter of 26 inches and weight capacity up to 1,500 pounds per piece for demanding aerospace and industrial applications.
Precision contour forgings in Inconel and a wide range of high-performance alloys. MTS Forge's contour forging capability supports complex geometries required by aerospace, defense, and power generation procurement teams.
Forged Inconel flanges manufactured up to 14 inches in size, with a rigorous Quality Assurance Program ensuring complete traceability — meeting the stringent requirements of commercial nuclear and high-pressure industrial sectors.
Custom Inconel forgings engineered to exact customer specifications, from small precision components to large structural parts. Combining advanced technology with decades of craftsmanship, every custom part is Made in America.
In-house normalizing heat treatment performed at our Coatesville, PA facility. Relieves internal stresses and refines grain structure in Inconel forgings, improving tensile strength, toughness, ductility, and downstream machinability.
Inconel alloys are among the most challenging materials to forge — and among the most critical. At MTS Forge's Coatesville, PA facility, our metallurgists and forging associates have worked with nickel-based superalloys for nearly four decades, producing components that meet the uncompromising demands of aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and power generation applications. Our large tooling inventory, adjustable-tonnage press, and in-house heat treatment and rough machining capabilities allow us to deliver forged Inconel parts with tight dimensional control, full traceability, and reduced lead times — all under one roof.

Stephen Carr co-founded Manufacturing & Technical Services, Inc. — operating as MTS Forge — in 1986 alongside Edward Waddell. With a deep metallurgical background and extensive hands-on knowledge of forging practices, Stephen has been instrumental in building MTS Forge into a recognized leader in the domestic forging industry. His technical foundation in alloy behavior, grain structure, and forging mechanics underpins the company's ability to work with challenging materials like Inconel, Monel, and specialty stainless steels. Over nearly four decades, Stephen's commitment to quality and customer service has shaped the culture and capabilities of the Coatesville, PA facility, ensuring every component leaving the shop meets the highest standards demanded by aerospace, defense, nuclear, and power generation customers.
Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986, partnering with Stephen Carr to build a forging company rooted in metallurgical science and an uncompromising standard of workmanship. Edward's background in metallurgy and forging technology has directly shaped the company's approach to materials selection, tooling design, and process control. His leadership has driven investment in advanced forging equipment and in-house capabilities — including heat treatment and rough machining — that allow MTS Forge to deliver complete, near-net-shape components with full traceability. Serving customers across Pennsylvania, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas, and beyond, Edward's vision of quality-driven growth has positioned MTS Forge as a trusted supplier to some of the most demanding industries in American manufacturing.
Yes, Inconel can be forged, though it requires specialized equipment and deep metallurgical expertise due to its high work-hardening rate and elevated strength at temperature. Hot forging — typically performed at tightly controlled temperatures between 1800°F and 2200°F depending on the alloy grade — is the standard method. MTS Forge has nearly 40 years of experience forging Inconel and other nickel-based superalloys for aerospace, defense, and power generation applications.
