Solid Forged Cylinder C45 42CrNiMo Pressure Vessels Marine Open Die Forging

Product Specification

Solid Forged Cylinder – C45 / 42CrNiMo – For Pressure Vessels and Marine Applications

Our Solid Forged Cylinders are manufactured from high-strength alloy steels such as C45 and 42CrNiMo, making them ideal for pressure vessels, marine shafts, and heavy-duty industrial applications. Produced using open die forging techniques, these cylinders feature excellent internal soundness, fatigue resistance, and uniform grain flow, ensuring long service life in demanding environments.

Available in weights from 100kg to 7000kg, each forged cylinder can be supplied in rough turned or CNC precision machined condition, with full heat treatment options including normalizing, quenching, and tempering. All products undergo ultrasonic testing (UT) and comply with international standards such as ISO 9001, GB/T, and DIN.

We offer OEM customization services based on client drawings and specifications, serving customers in the shipbuilding, offshore energy, petrochemical, and heavy machinery industries.

Available Shapes:

• Cylindrical forgings: solid round bars or hollow cylinders

• Forged shafts: straight, stepped, or spline shafts

• Gear blanks: round discs with or without hubs, pre-machined or rough

• Block forgings: rectangular, square, or custom-shaped blocks for heavy-duty applications

Material Grades (examples):

• 42CrMo / 42CrNiMo / 18CrNiMo7-6 – high-strength alloy steels for mechanical parts

• 20CrMnTi  – carburizing and quenching steels for gears

Key Features:

• Custom forging weight range: 100 KG to 7000 KG

• Superior mechanical properties after heat treatment

• Uniform internal structure, no porosity or segregation

• 100% ultrasonic tested, with optional third-party inspection

Applications:

• Wind power equipment (shafts, gear blanks)

• Heavy machinery and transmission systems

• Mining, port, and oilfield equipment

• Power generation and shipbuilding industries

• Hydraulic systems and pressure equipment

The steel forgings production flow:

Raw material steel ingot into warehouse(test the chemical composition) → Cutting→ Heating(Furnace temperature test) → Heat treatment after forging(Furnace temperature test) Discharge the furnace(blank inspection)→ Machining→ Inspection(UT,MT,Visal dimension, hardness)→ QT→ Inspection(UT, mechanical properties, hardness, grain size)→ Finish machining→ Inspection (dimension)→ Packing and Marking(steel stamp, mark)→ Storage Shipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the typical weight spectrum of the forged components you manufacture? Our forging capabilities encompass a range of components weighing from 100 kilograms up to 7 metric tons.

2. Do you handle downstream processing such as thermal treatment and material removal? Indeed, we provide comprehensive in-house services for heat treatment, encompassing both preliminary and final machining operations.
