Nickel Alloys Forgings
Who can forge this part in this alloy, and can they take the size and weight?
What it is
Parts shaped by compressive force while hot, producing grain flow that follows the part contour and mechanical properties superior to machining the same shape from plate or bar. Sold as open die, closed die, ring rolled or isothermal depending on geometry and volume.
- Typical dimensions
- Ounces to well over 10,000 lb depending on press capacity.
- Also known as
- forged parts, forged components, die forgings, rolled rings, hand forgings
Suppliers
Grouped by what they actually are. A mill and a distributor answer different needs.

ATI Inc. VerifiedUS melted
Forged hot-section jet engine components in nickel base alloys. MELT ORIGIN re-confirmed 2026-07-30 and corroborated rather than superseded: this is an integrated domestic producer that melts its own material. It remains a per-heat question regardless. DFARS 252.225-7009 status is settled on the mill certificate for the specific heat, not by the company record.

Scot Forge ReportedAS9100NADCAP Heat TreatingNADCAP Nondestructive Testing
Forged nickel alloy rings, discs, blanks and shaped forgings. Nickel alloy forging. Scot Forge publishes a dedicated forged nickel material page and describes its seamless rolled ring process as accommodating Waspaloy, Inconel and Hastelloy X. Held at medium: the material pages truncated on fetch, so the grade list and the size range for nickel specifically were not read. The 300,000 lb and 252 in envelope on this company's record is not alloy-specific. Confirm it for your grade.

Production methods
The same form, purchased as tolling on your own material.
Open-Die Forging 3
Deforming heated stock between flat or simply contoured dies that do not enclose the workpiece, working it through repeated bites and manipulation. Used for large simple shapes and for converting ingot into billet.

Universal Stainless & Alloy Products Reported
Hydraulic radial forge at North Jackson, Ohio producing bars and forged blocks. Recorded against open-die forging as the nearest modelled process: radial forging works the bar between hammer dies without a closed impression, but it is not the same operation as conventional open-die forging on a press. Confirm which the print requires.

Closed-Die Forging 1
Forming heated stock in dies that fully enclose the workpiece so metal fills an impression, producing near net shape parts with repeatable geometry. Requires dedicated tooling, so it favors volume.

Ring Rolling 1
Expanding a pierced preform between rolls to produce a seamless ring with circumferential grain flow. The standard route for bearing races, engine cases and flanges.

Isothermal Forging 1
Forging with dies heated to the same temperature as the workpiece, in a controlled atmosphere, at very slow strain rates. Produces close tolerance near net shapes in alloys that are difficult to forge conventionally.
