Forging
Services
Our industrial blacksmith’s shop specialises in open-die hammer work for small run, non-standard forgings up to half a ton.
Although many of the components once produced at the hammer are now flame-cut and fabricated, hand forging is still the best solution when either the materials aren’t readily available in plate, or when grain-flow and impact properties are critical.
Most of the forgings we produce are normalised or hardened and tempered, followed by machining and non-destructive examination, which may include proof-load testing (to 120 tons) and magnetic-particle inspection.
