Precision Forgings for Power Generation

About the Power Generation Sector

Every component within power generation systems must be manufactured from the highest-quality materials to maintain safety and reliability. Whether in fossil fuels, renewables including wind and solar, or nuclear power, every side of power generation comes with stringent requirements. In nuclear alone, parts must come from producers in compliance with standards such as NCA3800/4200 ASME SECTION-III NQA-1, and 10CFR50 APP-B.

Forging Parameters for Power Generation

We specialize in small-to-medium-sized, high-integrity, precision forgings. Most forge shops prioritize massive tonnage, leaving small-to-medium parts (under 100 lbs) stuck in long-lead limbo. At US Drop Forge, high-temp alloy components are our specialty. We’re ISO/PED certified and can handle the custom, emergency runs the big shops turn down.  

  • Weight Profile: From 25 lbs (High-Temp Alloys) up to 100 lbs (Carbon Steel). 
  • Dimensional Size: Lengths up to 18″ and Widths up to 8″. 
  • Production Volume: Flexible scaling from custom small runs to thousands of units. 
  • Marine Alloy Inventory: Carbon Steels, Alloy Steels, Stainless Steels, Aluminum Alloys, Copper Alloys, Titanium, and High-Temperature Alloys.
