Forgings · Europe · one PO
An open-die forging with the paperwork done. One contract carries it.
Stratosteel supplies open-die forgings under one purchase order with one responsibility. We own no press. The coalition's presses forge, we carry the contract and the verification. Network envelope via the qualified partner coalition: forged pieces to 109 t, project-qualified per order. ESR special metallurgy on request. Machining integrated to 50 t static, delivered machined and documented. Send the drawing, an engineer answers within 48 hours.
First technical answer within 48 hours. Firm quote in 3 to 7 working days once the forging unit is confirmed.
What runs today under our PO
In service in the network now, documentable on request. This is the part of the forging scope that has a first piece behind it.
| Machining of forged parts | to 50 t static / 30 t rotary, same PO |
|---|---|
| Form-position accuracy | 0.03 to 0.05 mm |
| Delivery condition | machined and documented, not raw |
| Documentation | EN 10204 3.1 standard, 3.2 with a named third party on request |
Network envelope via the qualified partner coalition
Contracted through qualified EU partner presses. Not yet exercised under a Stratosteel PO. Stated exactly as that. Every forging is qualified per order, on a project basis.
| Forged piece weight | to 109 t |
|---|---|
| Special metallurgy | ESR route on request |
| Part families | forged shafts, discs, rings, blocks, bars, pre-machined blanks |
| Machining integrated | to 50 t static, same PO |
| Qualification | project basis, per order |
Machined and documented, not raw
Machining is integrated to 50 t static under the same PO. The forging arrives finished to drawing, with the certificate file. One contract covers the forging, the machining, the verification and the delivery.
We own no press. The coalition's presses forge, Stratosteel carries the contract, the verification and the responsibility. That is the model, on purpose.
The labels are the point. Demonstrated numbers are in service in the network today, documented. Qualified numbers have a contract and no first piece under our PO yet. We write the difference down so you do not have to ask.
ESR: electroslag remelting for demanding grades, quoted per order through the coalition.
What happens next
After you send the drawing.
First technical answer
An engineer replies with feasibility, the proposed process route and open questions. Not an autoresponder.
Firm quote
Price, lead time, documentation scope. Issued once the production unit is confirmed, so the number holds.
One responsibility
Machining, verification, documentation and delivery under one contract with Stratosteel s.r.o. We manage the plants. Audits at the producing works are arranged through us, not around us.
Verified part, full file
EN 10204 3.1 certificate, CMM dimensional report, NDT protocol where specified. Traceability to heat number.
What we need from you: the drawing (PDF, STEP, DWG, DXF or IGES), material, quantity and target date. What we do not do: quote blind without a drawing, or start production without an agreed documentation scope. If the part is outside the envelope, we say so in the first reply. The full process →
What arrives at your dock
- The forging, machined to drawing, not raw
- EN 10204 3.1 material certificate, 3.2 with named third party on request
- UT on forgings per specification, MT, PT in the network, RT via ISO 17025 laboratory
- Traceability to heat number
Proof
Forging is one leg of the one-PO chain. The chain runs today in casting, welding and machining programs. A 6-year forestry OEM program and a serial defence program run under direct Stratosteel POs. Names under NDA. Proof page →
We do not claim a delivered 109 t forging. The envelope is contracted and stated as that.
Materials
42CrMo4, 25CrMo4, C45, 51CrV4, 20MnCr5, 16MnCr5, alloy steels, stainless, high-temperature grades. ESR route on request for demanding grades.
Part families
Forged shafts, discs, rings, blocks, bars, pre-machined blanks. Each one project-qualified, forged in the network, machined under the same PO.
Urgent capacity
When a supplier fails mid-program, send the drawing and write URGENT in the subject. The 48 hour answer includes the earliest realistic slot.
