13-8 Stainless Steel Open-Die Forgings
Premium 13-8 Stainless Steel Open-Die Forgings for High-Performance Applications
13-8 Stainless Steel Open-Die Forgings are engineered for critical structural components that demand a combination of strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. At AM Engineering Works, we specialize in custom-forged solutions using 13-8 PH stainless steel for industries like aerospace, defense, chemical processing, and nuclear power.
As a trusted supplier of high-integrity open-die forged components, we deliver precision-forged 13-8 stainless steel parts tailored to your exact specifications.
What is 13-8 Stainless Steel?
13-8 PH (Precipitation Hardening) stainless steel is a martensitic precipitation-hardening alloy known for its exceptional mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance. The alloy consists primarily of iron, chromium, and nickel, with controlled additions of aluminum. It’s particularly ideal where high strength, minimal distortion during heat treatment, and superior toughness are essential.
Key Features of 13-8 Stainless Steel Forgings
-
Excellent tensile and yield strength
-
High toughness and ductility even in thicker sections
-
Superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking
-
Minimal dimensional distortion during heat treatment
-
Good machinability in solution-treated condition
-
Ideal for high-performance, safety-critical environments
Applications of 13-8 Stainless Steel Forgings
13-8 stainless steel open-die forgings are widely used in:
-
Aerospace components (shafts, rotors, landing gear parts)
-
Defense and military equipment
-
Chemical processing equipment
-
Nuclear reactors and high-pressure valves
-
Fasteners and fittings in marine environments
-
Injection molding tooling
Open-Die Forging Capabilities at AM Engineering Works
Our state-of-the-art facility enables us to deliver precision open-die forging services for 13-8 stainless steel in various shapes and dimensions:
We manufacture:
-
Forged Shafts
-
Forged Discs
-
Forged Blocks

-
Custom Pre-machined Components
Our process ensures optimal grain structure, minimized internal voids, and enhanced mechanical properties across the full cross-section of the forged part.
Heat Treatment for 13-8 Stainless Steel Forgings
13-8 PH stainless steel undergoes solution treatment followed by precipitation hardening (aging) to achieve desired strength levels. We offer multiple condition options:
-
Condition A (Solution Treated)
-
Condition H900 / H950 / H1000 / H1050 / H1100 / H1150 – based on final strength and toughness requirements.
All heat-treating is conducted in-house to ensure metallurgical control and tight dimensional tolerances.
