Yes, aluminum bronze—including nickel aluminum bronze (NAB)—is highly forgeable. NAB alloys respond well to hot forging processes, which refine the grain structure and enhance mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance. Proper temperature control is critical during forging to achieve optimal microstructure and dimensional accuracy. MTS Forge applies decades of metallurgical expertise to produce NAB forgings that meet stringent performance requirements.
