Sheffield Forgemasters' melt shop is equipped with industry leading technology to allow us to produce liquid steel for our foundry and steel ingot for our forge or for customers.
At the heart of our steel melt shop is a 105 tonne furnace, which produces liquid steel in a wide range of grades.
Liquid steel is supplied directly to our foundry for steel castings or poured into ingot moulds. Ingots are then forged in one of our open die presses or supplied to our customers as a material for further processing. Ingots can be air cast from 1.5 up to 84 tonne and vacuum cast up to 285 tonne.

We use high quality, clean recycled steel, in combination with the latest visualisation and monitoring systems.
This provides high levels of control over temperature and steel making additions to guarantee a high purity final product with very low residual elements.
Our melt shop regularly produces steel grades that are destined for nuclear and defence components, where quality and performance is of the utmost and life-critical importance.
