Circular forgings

Our Circular forgings are the result of leading technology derived from decades of experience in the manufacture of wheels and tires for railways, which we began in 1919. We continue to build on its development work in this field. Today our Circular forgings cover a wide range of uses: for gears, crane wheels, flanges, and manhole parts, for example. These products are made efficiently and to high precision with leading-edge technologies, including unique, large-scale equipment. The superior precision and high performance of its products has earned us a reputation for high product quality in this market.

Characteristics

Integrated production system

Our integrated production system, from iron and steel making through forging, rolling and heat treatment, to machining, together with the quality control implemented at each step in the process, leads to products of the highest quality and dimensional accuracy.

Two production lines according to product shape available

We are equipped with two hot working lines for the manufacture of circular forgings: a die-forging line (9,000 ton line) and a ring-rolling line (4,000 ton line). Taking advantage of the special features of each line, we are able to produce forgings with minimum allowance for machining.

Optimal heat treatment to meet application needs

Optimal heat treatments are used along with state-of-the-art equipment for normalizing, quenching, and tempering to meet application needs.

Leading-edge machinery

We are equipped with leading-edge machinery for such processes as turning, boring, and three-dimensional working. The best-possible systems can be selected according to machining requirements for the intended product.
