Nuclear Forgings for High-Safety Nuclear Power Applications

What Are Nuclear Forgings and Why They Matter?

Nuclear forgings are critical components used in nuclear power equipment such as the Nuclear Reactor Vessel, Nuclear Reactor Steam Generator, and Nuclear Pressure Vessel. These parts operate in extreme pressure, temperature, and radiation environments, so the forgings must meet the highest standards of strength, toughness, and reliability.

Compared with standard industrial forgings, Nuclear Grade Forgings require ultra-clean steel smelting, vacuum degassing, ESR refining, precision forming, heat treatment, and strict non-destructive testing. Every process ensures long-term safety and stability for nuclear facilities.

Advantages of Forged Nuclear Components in Power Plants

Forged components are widely used in nuclear applications because they offer superior mechanical integrity with a uniform and dense metallurgical structure, which significantly improves creep resistance and fatigue life. After ultrasonic inspection, the internal structure shows no defects, making forged products especially suitable for Steam Generator Forging, Nuclear Pressure Vessel Forging, and other Forged Nuclear Components used in high-stress reactor environments.

Main Products in Nuclear Forgings

TIP TOP Forging supplies a full range of Nuclear Equipment Forgings for civil and commercial reactors, including forged shells and rings for Nuclear Reactor Vessels, precision-machined parts for Steam Generator Forging, pressure-bearing flanges and dished heads for Nuclear Pressure Vessels, structural rings and support discs for pumps and heat exchangers, as well as custom-designed shafts and connectors that meet engineering drawings and project specifications.

Manufacturing Capabilities for Nuclear Grade Forgings

To support large power generation projects, our factory is equipped with 8,000–12,000 ton open-die forging presses, advanced ring rolling mills for large nuclear rings, controlled heat-treatment furnaces with temperature uniformity, and CNC machining centers capable of delivering final dimensions with tight tolerances. We work with qualified nuclear materials including 20MnMoNi55, SA508 Grade 3, SA182 F316L and F304, 14Cr1MoV, and other alloy steels. Each step — from steelmaking and forging through to machining and inspection — is fully traceable and documented.

Strict Quality Control for Nuclear Pressure Vessel Forgings

Quality control for nuclear applications allows no compromise. Our inspection system follows international nuclear standards such as ASME Section III, RCC-M, and relevant ASTM and EN requirements. The testing program includes ultrasonic, magnetic particle, penetrant, and radiographic examinations, as well as impact, tensile, and fatigue testing. We also perform Charpy V-notch testing at low temperatures, dimensional verification, and surface inspections. All test results and certificates are issued to support compliance with the Nuclear Pressure Vessel Forgings Market.

Applications of Nuclear Forgings in Power Generation

TIPTOP nuclear forgings serve as a backbone to various power generation technologies, which include PWR, BWR, AP1000 and CAP1400 systems, steam generator circuits, as well as auxiliary nuclear equipment. These systems achieve the required airtightness and safety conditions by using forged components that are able to stabilize pressure, resist corrosion and withstand continuous thermal cycles, thus ensuring safe and reliable plant operation over long service periods.
