03 ULMA Piping
FORGING MATERIALS OVERVIEW
ULMA Piping makes the quality of its forged products its number one concern.
We produce our forgings from a wide variety of materials to suit the varying needs of customers in many industries. Our customers
know they can rely on ULMA Piping when they need forgings and other pieces made from superior materials and at competitive prices.
ULMA Piping manufactures products from the following materials, among others:
CARBON STEEL
Carbon steel is an alloy of carbon
and steel, available in several grades
according to the amount of carbon
in the mix, from low to very high.
Forgings made from carbon steel are
known for their strength, ductility,
hardness, and impact resistance.
ALLOY STEELS
Alloy steels containing one or more
of a long list of alloying elements can
be used — chromium, molybdenum,
manganese and many more — with
and without heat treatment, to
produce forgings with a wide range
of performance-enhancing properties.
Consult us regarding your specific
needs.
STAINLESS STEELS
The addition of chromium and other
alloying elements produces the
special properties of the steels in
the stainless steel range, including
excellent resistance to corrosion and
impacts, and high strength, among
other virtues. Many of these forgings
can be further hardened through heat
treatment.
PRODUCTION CAPACITY
We have the highest in-house production capacity in the world in our business.
We produce over 5.000.000 pieces annually and our annual production capacity
exceeds 100.000 metric tonnes.
PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT
We boast unrivalled:
FORGING LINES
Mechanical-hydraulic robotic presses,
counterblow hammers, ring rollers.
HEAT TREATMENT
Computerized and robotized lines.
MACHINNING LINES
Fully robotic machining lines.
WELDING/ FABRICATION SHOP (JV)
