Something we have learned in 25-plus years of operations is how different grades of steel behave differently and how each variety is suited to a particular application. This material knowledge forms the core of our expertise, helping us make informed choices and conveying the same to the brands we work with.
Carbon Steel
Low and medium carbon steel carbon is appropriate for strong components. The steel type is commonly used in creating forged couplings, flanges, and bushings. High carbon steel is best used when needing to provide gear wheels, or high wear parts, with hardness.

Popular Grades (AISI) |
| Low-carbon steel |
1018, 1020, 1022 |
| Medium-carbon steel |
1045, 1050, 1055 |
| High-carbon steel |
1060, 1075, 1080, 1095 |
Alloy Steel
When carbon steel is no longer sufficient, we shift to alloy steel to meet specification requirements. Components we create using alloy steel include shafts, gears, transmission components, and couplings.

Stainless Steel
We have witnessed a growing demand for stainless steel forging over the years and for good reason. While not as easy to manufacture as low alloy steel, industries primarily involved in the Department of Defense or marine industry specified this material due to its superior resistance to corrosion, low weight and high strength, and overall durability. We commonly use stainless steel to create custom flange assemblies, fasteners, rings, blanks, and disks.

We are an experienced and ISO-certified steel forging supplier in India. Our focus is on precipitation hardened (PH) stainless steel products, which are extensively used in aerospace, defense, marine, and many engineering applications. We have experience forging with PH stainless steels, specifically 17-4 and 15-5, because we know how they will perform under different conditions.
Tool Steel
Tool steel is more commonly used for exotic builds that require a very specific product-application fit. While we forge it, its use is reserved for low-volume builds since the tool steel, such as H11 and H13, is difficult to work with.
