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.

Gears are mechanical components and an essential part of many machines and are used in everything from piston engines to gearbox construction to agricultural machinery and wind turbines. Main gear types are: Spur and Pinion Gears: These gears have straight teeth and are the most common. They transmit rotational movements parallel to the axis and are found in gears, clocks and machines. Bevel Gears: These gears have tapered teeth and movement between non-parallel axes. They are used in differential gears of vehicles and in industrial machinery. Worm Gear: This combination of worm and worm wheel provides high gear ratio and is used in hoists, conveyors and other applications. Hydraulic The West German drop forge KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH produces forged gear blanks, piston parts and hydraulic components for a wide range of applications - from agricultural machinery and conveyor technology to engine construction, diesel generators to shipbuilding.

KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH is a highly certified West German drop forge, located in Hagen (Westphalia) - between the historic "blade & metal" region Solingen and the "soccer city" Dortmund - specializing in small series production of safety-relevant closed die forgings from 200g to 130Kg unit weight of all steel grades including duplex stainless steels, nickel based and titanium alloys. Examples are forgings for mechanical applications like brackets, holders, hoists, forged lifting gear, slings, hooks, chain links, special screws, nuts, gearwheels/ toothed/ cog wheels, forged pinions, and pressure parts like forged valves for hydrogen production and nuclear energy, as well as forgings for boiler systems construction. These include forged parts for boilers and piping like fittings, flanges, bifurcations, hose pipes, and forged boiler parts like header caps, end pieces, manifolds. KB Schmiedetechnik produces forgings for high pressure applications according to ASME, PED, KTA, RCCM.

Forgings have a grain flow, like the fiber structure of wood, caused by plastic deformation during the forging process. Proper orientation of grain flow improves the physical properties of forged parts. Everyday examples for forgings are car wheel bolts or screw nuts. Further examples include all kind of fasteners and hoists including forged hooks, eyebolts, and chain links. Forgings are also part of complex assemblies like crawler track chains, articulation sockets for busses or trains, hydraulic systems and lifting gears, as well gearwheels (forged blanks), pinions, rollers, holders and supports. Made in Germany of European primary material KB Schmiedetechnik GmbH is a Western German drop forge, specialized in small series production of closed die forgings from 200g to 130Kg unit weight and up to 600mm length of all forgeable steel grades and superalloys according to: ISO 9001 + ISO 14001 ASME, PED, KTA, RCC-M ABS, BV, ClassNK, DNV, LR
