Sheffield Forgemasters is a heavy engineering firm located in Sheffield,

Sheffield Forgemasters

South Yorkshire. The company specialises in the production of large steel castings and forgings, as well as rolls, ingots and bar.

History
The company was established in 1983 from the merger of Firth Brown and British Steel's River Don Works Forging operations, as a public company. Their buildings now dominate the Brightside area of East Sheffield. The company can trace its heritage back to the start of the steel industry in Sheffield in the 1700s. The firms of Vickers, Cammells, and Armstrong-Whitworth were all Nationalised to form British Steel in the 1960s.

The Company has had a chequered history due to the cyclical demand for specialist forgings & castings. In 2005 it was the subject of a management buy out.

Capabilities
The Company specialises in forged and cast parts for suppliers to the engineering, nuclear, oil, petrochemical, and process industries world-wide.

Sheffield Forgemasters currently has the capacity for pouring the largest single ingot (570 tonnes) in Europe. The two forging presses in use can exert a pressure of 2500 tonnes and 10000 tonnes on a billet of steel. The 2,500 ton press dates back to 1897 and was originally steam powered, latter being upgraded several times to its current hydraulically operated state.

Sheffield Flood
The company was severely affected by the Sheffield Floods of 2007, when the works were under several feet of water, but after a massive clean up effort was back in action within weeks of the devastation. Expansion
Due to increasing demand for their specialist services the firm has ordered a new 4,000 ton forging press to increase the range of forgings they can supply (26 February 2008).

英国谢菲尔德铸锻集团 (Sheffield Forgemasters Group)主要由轧辊制造和重型工业工程公司所组成。为了满足宇航、核能、近海油田、军事、冶金等一系列工业的需求，集团生产范围广泛的各种部件。这些工业对质量的要求极为严格，在生产的各个领域均须达到世界最高标准要求，轧辊制造也不例外。
谢菲尔德铸锻集团锻造轧辊公司是 1982 年由前英钢联 (British Steel Corporation) 和约翰逊 . 菲思 .布劳恩有限公司 (Johnson Firth Brown Ltd.) 合并组成。随后经过重组和扩大投资，不仅精简了机构，而且充实了冶炼、热处理、锻造和机加工车间的设备，进一步提高了为满足客户需求的供货能力。谢菲尔德集团制造锻钢轧辊已有 60 多年的历史。1989 年该公司决定将热处理和机加工的设备集中一处，遂对谢舍菲尔德锻造集团的现有设备重新进行了调配。新工厂拥有感应淬硬，常规淬硬和塞拉斯炉差温热处理等设施，并完全实现了热处理的自动化控制，使其成为世界最现代化的厂家之一。谢菲尔德铸锻集团锻造轧辊公司于 1988 年通过鉴定，成为全世界第一家在生产用于有色及黑色金属锻钢轧辊方面获得 ISO9002, EN 29002 和  BS 5750 Part 2 质量管理标准的轧辊制造厂。为了满足当今市场的特殊需要和适应市场日新月异的发展，公司仍然在锻钢轧辊的生产制造上不断进行探索、研究和开发.
