Frigate's Forging Expertise

Custom Forging Solutions

We are dedicated custom manufacturers and offer our customers the best-forged components. Our technical expertise guarantees the best microstructure, a longer lifespan, increased strength, and less material waste while providing cost-effective pricing.

At Frigate, forging components for severe service applications is our speciality. Whether small steel forgings for off-highway vehicles, defense, and agricultural equipment, or aerospace components in high-temperature alloys, we cover it all.

Integrated Manufacturing Solutions

We prepare metal billets and blanks using hot and cold pre-forming processes. This helps us shape metals perfectly before forging. We also use advanced techniques to keep the temperature even during forging, which reduces stress and improves quality.

Approved to the highest standards

Our forging furnaces are approved to the highest specifications and standards, meeting all the demands of the aerospace and defense sectors. This allows us to manufacture various materials, ensuring our forging portfolio is second to none, ranging from basic carbon steels and super alloys to high-integrity nickel alloys.

Advanced Forging Capabilities for Unique Designs

We hold a wide range of superior-quality materials and can design bespoke grades of components to meet different and demanding specifications to satisfy your project needs. With our unrivaled range of forging equipment, we cannot limit what we can make. We thrive on manufacturing complex solutions that others cannot.

Supply Chain and Logistics Management

We manage our supply chain efficiently to reduce lead times and costs. Our global network ensures we get high-quality materials from reliable sources worldwide. We use just-in-time inventory systems to keep everything running smoothly.

Forging Materials

We use diverse high-performance materials to deliver superior forging solutions for various industries’ specific demands. Our expertise in material science ensures that each component shows exceptional performance and durability.

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel is heated and hammered or pressed into the desired shape. It is known for its strength and is used in tools and structural components. It has properties like high strength and wear resistance.

Alloy Steel

Alloy Steel involves heating and forging steel mixed with chromium, nickel, and vanadium. This enhances properties like toughness and resistance to wear and corrosion. This material consists of enhanced mechanical properties and improved hardenability.

Tool Steel

Tool steel is forged to produce dies, molds, and cutting tools. It requires precise temperature control to maintain its cutting edge. Tool steel is also highly hard, wear resistant, and can hold a sharp edge.

Aluminum

Aluminum is lighter and requires lower forging temperatures. It is used in aerospace, automotive, and lightweight structural applications. It also has a good strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is forged for its corrosion resistance and is commonly used in medical devices, food processing equipment, and marine applications. Its properties include corrosion resistance, strength, and aesthetic appeal.

Duplex Steel

Duplex steel, a mix of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, is forged for high strength and corrosion resistance and is often used in chemical processing and offshore applications. It is high in strength, has excellent corrosion resistance, and is weldable.

Copper Forging

Copper is forged for electrical components, plumbing, and decorative items. It requires careful control to avoid oxidation. Copper has various properties, such as excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and flexibility.

Brass

Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is forged for fittings, valves, and decorative hardware. It is known for its workability and aesthetic qualities.

Titanium

Titanium is forged under precise conditions to produce strong, lightweight components in aerospace, medical implants, and high-performance applications. This material's properties include a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How do you manage residual stresses and distortion in forged parts?

We manage residual stresses and distortion in forged parts by using special heat treatments and precise cooling methods. After forging, we carefully heat the metal and then cool it down in a controlled way. This helps to relieve stresses and prevent the parts from bending or warping. We also use advanced machines to measure and adjust the parts, ensuring they stay in the right shape and are strong and reliable.

What materials do you use for aerospace-grade forgings?

We use special high-strength metals like titanium, aluminum alloys, and superalloys for aerospace-grade forgings. These materials are very strong and lightweight, which makes them perfect for aerospace components.

What are your standard and custom forging capabilities?

We can forge a wide range of standard parts, like gears and brackets, and custom parts designed just for you. Whether you need a common shape or something unique and complex, we have the tools and expertise to make it.

How do you address the high-volume demands of automotive manufacturing?

At Frigate, we meet the high-volume demands of automotive manufacturing by using powerful machines that can make many parts quickly and accurately. We have big presses that can handle large amounts of metal and use robots to move and shape the metal fast.

How do you handle complex geometries and multi-step forging processes?

We use detailed planning and advanced tools for complex shapes and multi-step processes. We often use special dies and perform several steps to carefully shape the metal into the right form, allowing us to create detailed and intricate parts exactly as needed.
