Welded aluminium fitting
Forged fitting body prepared for downstream welding into aluminium fluid circuits.

| Process route | Billet → Forging → Heat treatment → Machining → Surface finishing |
A weld’s reliability depends on the material either side of it. Porosity in a cast fitting shows up directly as a weld defect; a forged body behaves predictably instead.
Where geometry allows, the weld preparation is forged in rather than machined afterwards, which removes an operation on the customer’s side.
What we control
