Why forging shops choose Kesari ingots
Clean, degassed steel
Electric melting, ladle refining and vacuum degassing keep hydrogen, oxygen and inclusions low.
Closed bottom pouring
Steel is poured through a runner system, away from the air, for a clean surface and sound structure.
Tested every heat
Optical emission spectrometer, gas analyser, PMI and a radioactive contamination test facility.
Approved for pressure parts
IBR, PED 2014/68/EU and AD 2000 Merkblatt approvals for boiler and pressure vessel forgings.

Frequently asked questions
What is a forging ingot?
A forging ingot is a cast block of steel, poured into a mould and solidified, that a forge shop heats and shapes under a press or hammer into a finished or near-finished part. Forging ingots are cast with a hot top so the last metal to freeze sits above the usable body.
What sizes of forging ingots does Kesari Alloys supply?
Kesari Alloys supplies square, fluted and round forging ingots from M1.5 (about 1.45 tonne) up to M22 (about 21 to 23.5 tonne with hot top). The full table is on the ingot size chart page.
Which steel grades are available as forging ingots?
Carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel. Examples include EN8, EN9, EN19, EN24, EN31, SAE 4140, 4340, 8620, 42CrMo4, 20MnCr5, ASTM A182 F11 and F22, SS410, H13 and D2. Custom analyses are made to the customer's specification.
What does vacuum degassed mean for an ingot?
The molten steel is treated under vacuum before pouring to remove dissolved hydrogen and reduce oxygen and nitrogen. This lowers the risk of flakes and internal defects in heavy forgings. Kesari Alloys uses a ladle refining furnace and a vacuum degassing system, then bottom pours the ingots.
Why are ingots bottom poured?
Bottom pouring fills the mould from below through a runner system, so the stream is not exposed to air while it drops into the mould. This gives a cleaner surface and fewer inclusions than top pouring.
What is the difference between a hot top and a normal ingot?
A hot top is a refractory-lined feeder at the head of the mould that keeps the last steel molten so shrinkage forms in the feeder, not in the body. Hot top ingots give a larger sound portion and a better yield from a forging.
Do you supply IBR-approved forging ingots?
Yes. Kesari Alloys supplies IBR-approved forging ingots. Its published approvals include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, PED 2014/68/EU, IBR and AD 2000 Merkblatt.
