What Are Forged Bars — And Why They Matter

Forged Bars are high-strength metal bars produced by compressive deformation of billets or ingots under controlled temperature and pressure. This forging process aligns the grain flow, eliminates porosity, enhances toughness, and significantly increases fatigue resistance.

Forged Bars are used where high mechanical strength, structural integrity, impact resistance, and reliability under extreme conditions are mandatory. Unlike hot rolled or bright bars, forged bars offer:

  • Superior grain structure
  • Exceptional tensile & yield strength
  • Greater resistance to shock, vibration & cyclic loading
  • Zero internal defects (blowholes / porosity removed)
  • Ability to handle extreme temperatures and pressures

Forged Bars are widely produced in Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex/Super Duplex, Nickel Alloys, Copper Alloys, and Titanium — enabling use across the most demanding industries.

How Forged Bars Are Manufactured

Forging is performed through specialized processes that drastically improve mechanical performance:

Open Die Forging

  • Used for large, heavy-section bars
  • Strengthens the internal structure
  • Ideal for pressure vessel & power plant components

Closed Die Forging

  • High accuracy & near-net shape
  • Suitable for aerospace & automotive applications

Hot Forging

  • Grain refinement
  • Improved ductility & formability
  • Suitable for general engineering

Rough Machined Forged Bars

  • Bars are forged and semi-machined for OEM use
  • Saves machining time and minimizes material wastage
