Rolf Kind GmbH was founded in 1969 and is specialized in manufacturing of forgings in high alloyed stainless and corrosion resistant materials , nickel based alloys as well as titanium and titanium alloys . As a German family run company right from the start , we strongly follow our traditional values like high class quality and strong business relationship .

Being responsible for the complete manufacturing chain , any customized product geometry such as shafts , rings , cylindrical bushings , hollows , round and square shapes as well as special shapes tailored to suit our customers ’ needs can be supplied .

Due to our comprehensive and widespread technical know-how , we are able to produce forgings of highly sophisticated technical designs , being later used in machinery and equipment construction , oil and gas processing industries , on- and offshore applications and nuclear applications .

Our main focus and strength are our key skills in open die forging and machining , as well as detailed metallurgical knowledge . Paired with our very special business concept , we are able to offer any product from the raw material – up to the ready-to-install part from a single source . Our challenge : to go beyond the limits of conventional forgings .

• Steelmaking : Ingots from 3 to 50 t in nickel based alloys , high alloyed stainless steels and titanium

• Forging : From 20 MN to 120 MN forging pressure , open die forging and ring rolling up to 50 t ingot weight

• Heat treatment : Single forgings up to 4.5 m diameter and 25 m length

• Machining : Turning , milling and drilling up to 4.5 m diameter and 25 m length

• Non Destructive Testing ( NDT ): Ultrasonic testing , liquid penetrant testing , visual testing etc . ( e . g . X-Ray )

• Destructive Testing ( DT ) in collaboration with accredited laboratories
