Forging valve bodies in EN3B material
These drop forged valve bodies are forged in EN3B (070M20) before being hardened and tempered.
The forged bodies, which resemble unequal tee forgings, are used in the oil and gas industry. We supply the blank forgings to our customer who finish machines them to the end customer’s specification.
Although there are many companies who import this type of forged part from “low cost countries” and hold stock in large quantities, W H Tildesley’s customers appreciate the value of guaranteed service levels. They can have complete confidence in the specification of the raw materials being used.
By utilising UK manufacture, if there is some unforeseen problem, our customers know that they are never far away from finding a solution.
WHT’s modern drop forging facility in Willenhall, West Midlands has been producing drop forged components for the oil & gas industry for many years. We supply forgings to many of the biggest companies in the oil and gas sector. We hold several NORSOK approvals.
