Superalloy Forging Services: Co-Owned Factories in USA, South Korea & Taiwan

Whether your project requires the high-strength properties of Inconel 718 for a US-based aerospace defense project or the corrosion-resistant forged Inconel 625 for an international Nuclear SMR build, ForceBeyond’s tri-regional co-ownership ensures material availability and logistical redundancy.

Tier-1.5 Integration: High-Integrity Forging with Precision Finishing

Traditional supply chains often break down during the hand-off between the forge shop and the machine shop. ForceBeyond eliminates this risk through our Tier-1.5 manufacturing model. We integrate our high-tonnage Superalloy Forging operations with our in-house Superalloy Machining centers.

By managing the thermal-mechanical processing and the final CNC material removal under a single AS9100 quality umbrella, we ensure that the grain flow is perfectly aligned with the part’s primary stress axes. For complex geometries where forging is not feasible—such as thin-walled housings or intricate valve manifolds—we offer seamless integration with our Superalloy Casting solutions, ensuring you always have the optimal near-net-shape starting point for your project.

Leading Forging Suppliers for Inconel 718 & 625

We focus on the two most critical alloys in the superalloy market, ensuring our grain flow and thermal processing meet the most stringent aerospace and energy standards.

Inconel 718 Forging (AMS 5662 / 5663)

Inconel 718 is the “workhorse” of the industry. Our forging process is optimized for Precipitation Hardening, ensuring the material retains its 1,035 MPa yield strength at temperatures up to 700°C.

• Primary Use: Turbine disks, shafts, and high-strength fasteners.

Inconel 625 Forging (ASTM B446 / B564)

For environments where corrosion resistance is more critical than pure tensile strength, our Inconel 625 forgings provide superior protection against pitting and crevice corrosion.

• Primary Use: Nuclear SMR cooling loops, marine hardware, and chemical processing.

Precision Thermal Control & Secondary Operations

Our co-owned facilities utilize automated thermal monitoring to maintain the narrow forging window required for Inconel 718 (950°C to 1,050°C), ensuring zero grain growth or phase segregation.

• Near-Net-Shape (NNS): We reduce the “buy-to-fly” ratio through precision dies, lowering your raw material spend by 20%–30%.
• Proof Machining: All forgings can be delivered rough-machined to ±0.5mm, facilitating immediate Ultrasonic Testing (UT) upon arrival at your facility.
• Aging & Solution Treatment: In-house vertical quenching and aging furnaces to achieve full AMS 5663 mechanical properties.

Quality Assurance: Why Tier-1.5 Matters

As a Tier-1.5 supplier, we perform rigorous Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) in-house at our South Korea and Taiwan facilities to ensure every forged component is flight-ready or reactor-ready.

• Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Detecting internal inclusions, voids, or thermal cracks according to AMS 2154.
• Fluorescent Penetrant (FPI): Identifying surface-level micro-cracks invisible to the naked eye.
• Macro-Etch Testing: Verifying the integrity and uniformity of the forged grain flow.

Value-Added Processing

We don’t just forge; we deliver a finished component.

• Heat Treatment: Solution Annealing, Age Hardening (AMS 5662/5663 for Inconel 718).
• Rough & Finish Machining: Turning and milling forgings to final print dimensions.
• Destructive Testing: Tensile, Impact, and Grain Size analysis to verify AS9100 compliance.
