Forged pieces for boiler systems, piping or nuclear reactors

Basic information

Forged components play a crucial role in various industrial applications, particularly in sectors such as nuclear energy, boiler systems, and pipeline construction. Safety valves, such as pressure relief valves, are essential for safeguarding pressurized vessels like steam boilers and reactor vessels from potential pressure surges. These components are expertly crafted by West German drop forge KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH in Hagen, boasting decades of experience in producing drop-forged parts tailored for pressure applications compliant with industry standards like the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED), KTA, AVSD, and RCCM. These forged components are utilized in diverse projects worldwide, including those by leading companies like Alstom, Babcock, CNIM, EDF, and Mitsubishi Hitachi (MHPS). The product features closed die drop forgings of up to 130 kg unit weight and lengths of 600 mm, using various steel grades, special alloys, and superalloys like Monel®, Incoloy®, Inconel®, and Hastelloy®. Additionally, the components are corrosion-resistant, non-embrittling, and suitable for seawater applications, meeting stringent industry standards for materials and manufacturing processes.
