Examples are components and equipment like brackets, holders, chain links, hoists, lifting hooks, fasteners, cogwheels: forged gear parts like pinions, gearwheels, pipe connections, pressure-bearing parts, valve parts, tube connectors like fittings, flanges and manifolds or pressurized parts for boiler systems like nozzles or headers. Also, parts and pieces for wagon construction like articulation sockets or plates for buffer systems, parts for special vehicles, military vehicles and more.
Further examples are parts and components for corrosive applications like naval ships, boats, ship technology, seawater-suitable, corrosion-resistant components, seawater-resistant, acid-resistant, highly corrosion-resistant forgings for seawater applications, seawater use, seawater desalination, chemical plants, petrochemicals, fertilizer industry, fertilizer production, food technology industry, offshore platforms/ oil rigs, drilling platforms, drills, drill equipment, drilling heads, marine technology, submarines, underwater technology, underwater engineering, shipyard supplies, infrastructure and defense.
Forging 4 Energy
- • Forgings for nuclear power plants and hydrogen technology
- • Forged valve parts for nuclear and hydrogen applications
- • Forges components for nuclear fission and fusion reactors
- • Non-standard flanges and fittings of stainless steel like F316L or Duplex
- • Special materials resistant against neutron or hydrogen embrittlement
- • Acid-resistant forgings for seawater and molten salt applications:
- • Examples: dual fluid reactors or solar thermal power plants
