The Division manufactures closed die forgings in various Aluminium, Steel, Titanium & Nickel based alloys in many complex configurations for structural and gas turbine applications. The Division also manufactures ‘Near Net’ shape aero engine compressor blades in Aluminium, Titanium and Nickel based super alloys. CAD, CAM, CMM & simulation techniques are extensively used in the design, manufacture and inspection of both components and tooling.
