The forging materials and metal alloys that are used in the process of manufacturing custom metal flanges are a crucial part of the application and finished manufactured product.
Choosing the right materials for metal forging is an important decision. It is necessary to know the metallurgical properties of each material, to make an informed decision.
The materials used in metal forging depend on the type of metal and the desired final product. Some metals are softer than others. Materials for forging are usually chosen depending on the desired shape, strength, and other properties. The materials also depend on the type of forging process that is being used.


Products manufactured with metal alloys include:
- Blind Flange
- Forged Rings
- Welding Neck Flange
- Orifice Flange
- Socket Weld Flange
- Studded Outlet Flange
- Forged Discs
- Long Weld Neck Flange
- Slip On Flange
- Threaded Flange
- Raised Face Flange
And custom forged products built to your specifications and requirements……
