Forged-rolled plates and blocks can be supplied for critical thick-product applications where specific properties are required throughout the thickness or for stringent ultrasonic testing specifications.

These steel products, offering high-performance mechanical properties, are generally used for assemblies which can have complex shapes. That is why our steel products are designed to be highly workable.

Thanks to a unique process combining an online forging press and a specific rolling mill, Bozhong can supply forged grades.

The advantages of this unique process are:
1. Adjusted chemical composition while respecting the standards required in order to get improved weldability
2. Very good compactness through thickness controlled by UT
3. Excellent through thickness Z properties
4. Flat products with a good surface aspect (descaled, ground, shot blasted)
5. Gain of machining (compared to regular forged products).
6. Excellent machinability of tube-holes thanks to homogeneous properties and structure through the entire thickness
