Forgings for aerospace structures and hardware

In aerospace, the forging process itself is a strength advantage: hot working aligns the grain to the shape of the part, closing porosity and producing components that outperform machined-from-bar or cast equivalents under fatigue and shock. That is why structural fittings, brackets and rotating hardware are so often forged.

MTS forges to your drawing and specification rather than a catalog shape. Close-die, upset and contour forging let us put material where the load path needs it, and our in-house heat treatment and rough machining mean fewer suppliers between your print and a finished, near-net component. Every order carries the heat numbers and mill test reports your quality group needs for sign-off.
