Forged blocks (or bars) are the product of high heat and precise mechanical force. They come in a variety of sizes and dimensions, with uses in industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to construction. Forged blocks boast higher strength and durability compared to cast blocks due to their consistent grain structure and enhanced metallurgical properties.

Ferralloy, Inc. specializes in producing forged blocks from stainless steel and other high-performance materials for various applications. We leverage advanced forging techniques to deliver results that exceed performance and reliability expectations. Learn more about our production capabilities and the industries we serve.

Properties of Forged Blocks

Our forging processes transform bar & billet into ‘high-performance’ material with improved mechanical properties. Whether you need forged blocks or a custom solution, Ferralloy delivers exceptional quality with every product.
