Super Forge And Fittings

Pipe fittings are made through casting, welding, or forging. The manufacturing process depends on the type of fitting and the material used. Casting

• Molten metal is poured into molds to create complex shapes
• Casting is cost-effective and versatile
• However, cast fittings may be less strong and durable than forged fittings

Welding

• Metal pieces are fused together at high temperatures
• Welding is cost-effective and versatile
• However, welded fittings may be less strong and durable than forged fittings

Forging

• Metal is heated and then shaped under extreme pressure
• Forged fittings are denser and more uniform, making them stronger and more durable than cast or welded fittings

Buttweld fittings

• Made by cutting, bending, and shaping seamless or welded steel pipes

Elbows

• Can be manufactured using the mandrel method, which is a type of hot forming
• In this method, the pipe is cut in pieces and pushed over a die called “mandrel”

Forged fittings

• Are made from solid blocks of steel that are machined to produce the final shape

Pipe fittings

• Are used in plumbing, piping, and HVAC systems
