Net Shape & Closed Die Forging

Tecomet is a world leader in forging the most challenging materials for the most critical applications. Tecomet’s net shape forging capabilities impart a tighter and more uniform grain structure, while increasing tensile strength and yield strength, compared to castings and products machined from stock.

Tecomet was the first company to forge a net shape hip stem and the first to forge zirconium for advanced orthopedic applications!

Forgings are used in medical, aerospace, automotive, commercial, and industrial applications, where consistent performance and high strength are essential. Our over 40 years of experience with net shape forging and our competitive tooling cost makes forging the best choice, even in quantities as low as 50-100 pieces.
