Hot, warm, and cold forged components from India. Closed-die, open-die, drop forge, and ring rolling — from 100g hand tools to 100kg crankshafts. Superior grain flow, higher fatigue strength than castings, IATF 16949-certified suppliers serving automotive, agriculture, oil & gas, and railway OEMs.
Forging deforms heated or cold metal under high compressive force to produce parts with continuous grain flow aligned to the part's geometry. The result: parts with 20-30% higher fatigue strength than equivalent castings, no internal porosity, and superior ductility.
Magnus partners with 50+ Indian forging plants ranging from 50-ton drop hammers to 8,000-ton press lines. We've shipped over 6 million forged components — automotive crankshafts and connecting rods, agricultural shafts, oil & gas flanges, railway couplings, and aerospace blanks — to OEMs across 28+ countries.
India is one of the world's largest forging producers, with global-leading plants in Pune, Coimbatore, and Belgaum specifically certified for safety-critical automotive and aerospace work. Magnus has audited 200+ Indian forging plants and curated the 50 best for our supplier network.

Safety-critical, fatigue-loaded, and impact-resistant components — forging is non-negotiable when failure is not an option.
Engine and drivetrain components where fatigue strength matters.
Tractor and equipment parts subjected to shock loads.
API-spec forgings for upstream and pipeline equipment.
Heavy-duty machine components with cyclic loading.
IRS-spec forgings for Indian and global railway operators.
Wind, solar, and conventional power equipment forgings.
Raw bar stock sheared to weight per shot, weighed and verified.
Billet heated to 1,100-1,250°C in induction or gas furnace.
Drop hammer or press deforms hot billet into die cavity in 2-5 blows.
Flash trimmed off with trim die. Hot or cold trimming based on size.
Normalising or Q&T to achieve mechanical properties per spec.
Shot blast, machining, NDT, dimensional, packaging, shipment.
Material traceability from steel mill to forged part. Mill test certificates issued with every shipment, NACE-compliant for sour service.
Forging defects (laps, cracks, inclusions) are often invisible without NDT. Magnus suppliers run UT, MPI, and DPI on every safety-critical shipment.
Spectrometer chemistry on every steel heat, mill test certificate cross-check, traceability barcoding.
Temperature monitoring at furnace and die, blow count tracked, die wear measured per shift.
100% magnetic particle (MPI) for ferrous parts, ultrasonic (UT) for critical, hardness Brinell on every batch.
Complete pack: PPAP, material certs, FAI, dimensional report, NDT certs, mechanical test results, heat-treat charts.
An Australian freight rail operator needed 4,000 IRS-spec couplings per year, replacing a Chinese supplier with quality issues. Magnus qualified two Pune-based forging suppliers, managed AS 9100 audit equivalent, and ran 6 months of dual-source production validation.
