Special Forging
Custom and complex forgings engineered to your print — from exotic alloys and one-off geometries to low-to-mid-volume runs that standard tooling can't economically reach.
Forged to your print, not to a catalog
Special forging is where MTS Forge earns its reputation. When a component is too complex, too specialized, or produced in volumes too low to justify dedicated production tooling, our engineers and forge crews develop a process built around that single part — combining open-die work, custom blocker tooling, and controlled thermal sequences to hit the geometry your drawing calls for.
Since 1986 we have taken on the parts other shops decline: unusual cross-sections, tight material-property requirements, and exotic alloys that demand careful heat and reduction control. Every job is engineered to print, forged to spec, and documented under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
Built for demanding, one-of-a-kind work
Special forging suits programs where geometry, alloy, or volume falls outside standard production — but strength and traceability still matter.
Engineered forgings for airframe and engine hardware where geometry and pedigree are exacting.
Aerospace market
Low-volume, high-consequence hardware forged to controlled specifications and full traceability.

Why customers bring us the hard parts
Engineered to print
We build the process around your drawing — geometry, alloy, and properties, not a fixed die catalog.
Exotic alloys
Comfortable working stainless, duplex, and high-nickel grades that demand careful heat control.
Low-to-mid volume
Economical for the runs that don't justify full production tooling, from prototypes to pilot lots.
Sound grain structure
Forged flow lines deliver strength and integrity a fabrication or casting can't match.
Collaborative engineering
Our team works your print with you to make a difficult part manufacturable and repeatable.
Documented quality
Every special forging is traceable and controlled under our ISO 9001:2015 system.
