Orbital forging is a compressive forging technique which uses the upper die to apply uniform forging effects throughout a rotating part. In order for orbital forging to be optimum a number of factors need to be controlled, just one example being the workpiece material including chemical composition, microstructure and deformability.

Tandem welding is a more recent breed of welding technologies which fit with a consistent drive to improve quality, efficiencies and cost in the process.
The main advantages of using Tandem welding are that it is highly efficient, requires minimum heat input, provides superior quality results to name but a few. Continue reading →

Blast furnace related technologies for the production of iron are still by far the most common however pressures on environmental resources are driving the introduction of new technologies which do not require blast furnaces to produce. Continue reading →
