Forging - Import export

KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH is a drop forge in West Germany, located between the historic “blade & metal region” Solingen-Remscheid-Wuppertal and the “Borussia soccer city” Dortmund, specialized in small series production of safety-relevant closed die forgings from 200g to 130Kg unit weight of all steel grades and alloys according to following certifications and standards: pressure equipment: valves, boiler systems, piping PED 97/23/EG, AD 2000-W0, ASME/ASTM, CNIM, Alstom, MHPS nuclear power/ atomic energy and plant construction KTA3201.1, KTA1401, AVS D 100/50, Siemens, EDF/Areva/RCC-M naval architecture/ shipbuilding and offshore/ ocean engineering, certified by •American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) •Bureau Veritas (BV) •Det Norske Veritas (DNV) •Lloyds Register (LR) •Nippon KaijiKyōkai (ClassNK) Examples: components and equipment like brackets, holders, chain links, hoists, lifting hooks, fasteners, pressure-bearing parts like valve bodies, pipe connections, and more.

Our open-die forging presses play an important part among the forming presses. Siempelkamp supplies complete open-die forging presses equipped with manipulators and ancillary equipment such as lifting turntables and quite a number of additional components. Our presses operate reliably, fast and precisely, operating at pressing forces between 10 and 160 MN. The range of presses available comprise push-down or pull-down designs, two- or fourcolumn designs with oil-hydraulic or water-hydraulic drives. High-stroke frequency contributes to the eciency of these presses. Our customers produce bars, discs, rings, and anges from materials such as steel, high-alloy steel, nickel-based alloys, titanium, and aluminium on these presses. They prefer to order turn-key plants including integrated manipulators, turntable, die magazine, and die-changing system.

Graphite-free lubricant for the forging of aluminium Temperature Range 130 °C to 380 °C Properties and Advantages • improved cleanliness of work environment (graphite-free) • reduced wear on tool surface due to the forming of an effective release film • good release of forgings • formation of a pressure resistant lubricating film • forgings can be painted and powder coated, downstream processes are trouble-free • alternative to graphite containing products

Forging lubricant for aluminium and non-ferrous metal Temperature Range 160 °C to 400 °C Properties and Advantages • promotes the metal flow during forming process resulting in optimal form filling and accurate, precise parts • perfect release • much cleaner forgings, hardly any residues • reduced cleaning effort • high surface quality • improvement of tool die life due to adhesion of protective graphites • various modifications available e. g. Graphitex® CR 25-9/14

Synthetic steel forging lubricant (graphite-free) Properties and Advantages • free from graphite • no smell emission during forging process caused by released organic propellants • good lubricating- and release properties • suitable for complex forgings • improved cleanliness of work environment • normally no problems occur in downstream processes

Aqueous forging lubricant for hot- und warm die forging and extrusion Properties and Advantages • universal product for a wide range of application, especially deep cavity forging • film withstands several strokes from the hammer (up to 3) • replacement for saw dust thus improved die life, no smoke and increasing process reliability • automation possible = improved work environment • above average release property (effective expulsion) during the metal forming process • improved tool life (reduced wear) due to immediate formation of a heat-resistant and a protective film • excellent metal flow • perfect accuracy of the components produced, no build-up of inorganic residues • economical in use

Properties and Advantages • improved metal flow, superior die filling, lower die pressures • spontaneous formation of a thin, uniform lubricating film; in that way a perfectly sprayed film without blank spots is achieved • protection of die steel from erosion • no build-up inside the die cavity • improved die life • shorter spraying cycle • no blocking of spray nozzles and maintenance/problem-free production, even under most severe forging conditions • cost-efficient

Within the frame of quality assurance, the forged pieces of this client have to be checked in an inline inspection with respect to several parameters: Inner and outer diameters, as well as the absence of surface defects have to be verified. Video of inline forgings inspection for dimensional accuracy and surface defects with QuellTech LaserScaner. Particular Challenges Manual inspection carried out until now turned out to be not reliable enough, particularly after an increase in production. The final rejection rate has seriously affected the productivity of the entire manufacturing process. A solution for a contactless inline inspection was needed. The QuellTech Solution A testing station including an index table has been designed. This configuration acts as a support for two QuellTech Q4-60 laser scanners, used for inspection of the parameters mentioned above.

Forged components for nuclear reactors, boiler systems, piping Valves are pivotal in various industrial contexts. Forged parts designed for nuclear reactors, boiler assemblies, pipeline construction, and safety valves are crucial elements in various industrial applications. Safety valves, typically pressure relief valves, stand out as paramount safety features within most systems. Their primary function is to safeguard pressurized vessels like steam boilers, reactor vessels, and pipelines from potentially hazardous pressure surges. In the event, that pressure exceeds safe limits, these valves release trapped gases, vapors, or liquids either into the atmosphere or into designated manifold systems. The West German drop forge KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH in Hagen (NRW) boasts decades of proficiency in crafting drop-forged components tailored for pressure applications compliant with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) and for nuclear facilities adhering to KTA, AVSD, and RCCM standards.
