The careful selection of ingots in carbon, medium alloy and stainless steel from qualified and certified European steel shops is an essential element in the production chain of excellent forgings.

The product quality depends on following points:

• correct chemical analysis of the steel;
• tailored physical properties and metallurgical features;
• proper ingot geometry (polygonal, round, square, etc.);
• selected secondary metallurgy process (VD, VCD, VOD, ESR, VAR).
