FORGING MATERIALS OVERVIEW

ULMA Piping makes the quality of its forged products its number one concern.
We produce our forgings from a wide variety of materials to suit the varying needs of customers in many industries. Our customers know they can rely on ULMA Piping when they need forgings and other pieces made from superior materials and at competitive prices. ULMA Piping manufactures products from the following materials, among others:

CARBON STEEL

HIGH-PERFORMANCE ALLOYS

Carbon steel is an alloy of carbon and steel, available in several grades according to the amount of carbon in the mix, from low to very high. Forgings made from carbon steel are known for their strength, ductility, hardness, and impact resistance.

ALLOY STEELS

High-performance or superalloys are used in the most demanding applications, where their excellent creep resistance at high temperatures, good mechanical strength and surface stability, and resistance to the processes of corrosion and oxidation are vital. A wide range of forgings can be produced depending on your specic performance needs.

COPPER

The reddish-orange tone of this naturally malleable metal is familiar to everyone, having been in use for thousands of years. It is prized in alloys for adding to impact resistance, strength and hardness.

Alloy steels containing one or more of a long list of alloying elements can be used chromium, molybdenum, manganese and many more with and without heat treatment, to produce forgings with a wide range of performance-enhancing properties. Consult us regarding your specic needs.

ALUMINUM

NICKEL ALLOYS

Inconel and Hastelloy are but two common examples of the wide variety of alloys containing nickel. The increased ductility that nickel brings to alloys makes it ideal for many applications. We can offer you forgings made of an extensive range of nickel alloys.

Aluminum is widely used in many industries, and readily alloys with other metals. Its corrosion resistance is excellent, and in alloys it can greatly improve mechanical properties.

TITANIUM

STAINLESS STEELS

MONEL ALLOYS

The addition of chromium and other alloying elements produces the special properties of the steels in the stainless steel range, including excellent resistance to corrosion and impacts, and high strength, among other virtues. Many of these forgings can be further hardened through heat treatment.

Monel is the trademark name applied to a series of nickel and copper alloys. These alloys are extremely resistant to corrosion and acids, and are therefore highly prized in marine applications and environments where there will be exposure to harsh acids and corrosive media.

Extremely strong, fatigueand corrosion-resistant, low-weight and low-density pieces can be manufactured with titanium and its alloys. When its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to acids, chemicals, salt water and corrosion in general are needed, titanium is the choice.

We have the highest in-house production capacity in the world in our business. We produce over 5.000.000 pieces annually and our annual production capacity exceeds 100.000 metric tonnes. PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT We boast unrivalled: FORGING LINES Mechanical-hydraulic robotic presses, counterblow hammers, ring rollers. HEAT TREATMENT Computerized and robotized lines. MACHINNING LINES Fully robotic machining lines. WELDING/ FABRICATION SHOP (JV) State-of-the-art robotic welding equipment. TESTING FACILITES All kinds of NDT and DT are performed in our in-house facilities. FULLY AUTOMATED ROBOTIC WAREHOUSE With a stock capacity of over 8 000 t. DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING SPECIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS We work under the most recognized standards such as: ASME API NORSOK BS CSA BF AFNOR... We have in-house design and calculation capabilities and can design any kind of ange/ line blank (including FEA).
