Advanced Machining

World class machining facilities, best in the industry.

The machining facility is supported by well-equipped and modern tool room, standard room, metallurgical lab and design & process facilities. Added to these are our flawless inspection and testing facilities that further take manufacturing standards to levels of excellence.

Bharat Forge for so many years was mainly producing steel forging supplying in the form of forged parts or machined parts based on customer requirement. About 8 years back Bharat Forge entered into manufacturing and supply of components made out of exotic materials like Titanium alloys, Aluminium alloy and Nickel base alloys. As forging of exotic alloys requires technology development to suit to particular alloy, in the same way new alloys also require different machining technology. KCTI is continuously giving parameter for machining of new alloys and solving any problem faced during machining of new alloys.
