SERVICES
SODERFORS STEEL offers customized contract services such as forging, rolling, heat treatment, finishing, testing, cutting, special marking and packing.
Forging
In the forging process, careful timing, deformation speed, and temperature combine to create a material in which structure is improved and defects in the material are neutralized. Essentially, this is a process that improves the properties of the material.
Versatility is one of the main strengths of the forge at SODERFORS STEEL. We can work in a wide variety of materials and shapes and produce both bar forgings and open die forgings. Forged rings, shafts, and a variety of special executions are heat-treated and machined into customized products. To save material we recommend open die forging.
