Fascination for Steel Working

Traditional techniques and the newest machines.

The iron / steel working is one of the oldest working techniques in the human history. Over decades, different materials and skills were further developed to giving constructors the chance to expand the limits of what is technically possible. Bigger machines are used to form heavier, more complex parts.

During open-die forge a component results from a state of incandescence, which can only be successfully processed after years of expertise. At Rosswag we work with presses with a compressive force up to 35 Mega Newtons and up to 3.5 meter-diameter rolled rings for producing seamless rings.

The forging and ring-rolling processes are controlled from a safe distance nowadays. Nevertheless, something persists through generations of forging: the emotion and passion of creating something new from fire, force and skillful movement.
