Brooks Forgings specialise in the manufacture of non-standard forged, fabricated and machined components and are one of the leading British manufacturers of bespoke Mooring Rings and Chain Link Adjusters for the marine industry.
A recent project was commissioned by a French company that required the production of 21 heavy duty mooring rings, in grade 8.8 material, for a dock refurbishment project in Monaco.
The mooring ring is made up of a 600x350x35mm thick base plate, 200mm inner diameter ring from 50mm diameter material and u-bend also in 50mm diameter material. The rings were hot bent and flash butt welded in-house. Unlike standard welding procedures, flash butt welding uses no foreign material and allowed us to complete the necessary heat treatment to 8.8 grade specification.
