DIN EN Steel Forgings — Exported to Germany
Shivam Forge is a certified steel forging supplier to Germany — exporting carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and duplex steel forgings in DIN EN grades (42CrMo4, C45E, SS 316L, Duplex 2205) with EN 10204 3.1 material certificates. CIF Hamburg pricing in EUR. 30–40% below German domestic steel forging prices. ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Steel forgings — carbon, alloy, and stainless — are the foundation of German engineering across every industrial sector: automotive, Maschinenbau, chemical processing, wind energy, rail, and construction. German procurement teams sourcing steel forgings require DIN EN material grades, EN 10204 3.1 material test certificates, and competitive pricing. Shivam Forge in Rajkot manufactures hot forgings in the full range of DIN EN steel grades — from structural C45E to high-alloy 42CrMo4, tool steel H13, and stainless 316L — at 30–40% below equivalent German domestic prices, with full EN 10204 3.1 certification.
42CrMo4 (EN 1.7225) is Germany's most widely used engineering alloy steel — for shafts, gears, axles, flanges, and structural machine components. Q+T condition standard: UTS 900–1,100 MPa, YS ≥750 MPa, Charpy impact 45 J at -20°C per EN 10083-3. We hold 42CrMo4 billet stock for fast delivery. EN 10204 3.1 with DIN EN 10083-3 chemical and mechanical properties from our in-house lab.
C45E (EN 1.1191) in normalised condition — the most cost-efficient carbon steel forging for shafts, flanges, couplings, and general structural forgings where the highest alloy mechanical properties are not required. UTS 700–850 MPa normalised. EN 10083-2 certification. Cost: 15–20% less than 42CrMo4. Widely used in German Maschinenbau and agricultural machinery supply chains.
34CrNiMo6 (EN 1.6582) for highly loaded rotating components requiring both high strength (UTS 1,000–1,200 MPa) and excellent toughness (50 J at -40°C) — wind turbine main shafts, large press eccentric shafts, and heavy truck driveline components. German specification: EN 10083-3 / EN 10250-3. Full mechanical test with individual piece traceability for critical applications.
16MnCr5 (1.7131) and 20MnCr5 (1.6523) — the German automotive standard for gear blanks, camshafts, and transmission components that require carburising and case hardening. Case hardness HRC 58–62 achievable on tooth flanks; tough core. EN 10084 certification. Near-net-shape gear blank forgings with controlled machining stock for efficient gear hobbing.

Germany imports more high-quality steel forgings from India than any other European country — driven by the cost advantage of Indian forging combined with the ability of certified Indian manufacturers to meet DIN EN material standards. For German procurement managers, the key question is not whether Indian forgings can meet DIN EN standards (they can, from qualified manufacturers) but which supplier has the quality infrastructure to consistently deliver to those standards. Shivam Forge's answer is: OES spectrometer for chemistry, UTM and Charpy for mechanical properties, programmable heat treatment furnaces with chart records, CMM dimensional measurement, and EN ISO 9712-qualified NDE operators.
The material cost economics for Germany are compelling. Indian alloy steel (42CrMo4, C45E) from established mills like SAIL Special Steels, JSW, or Mukand Steel costs approximately 15–25% less than equivalent European mill-produced material (Thyssen, Ovako, Schmolz+Bickenbach). Combined with Indian forging labour at 10–15% of German forging shop labour rates, the total manufacturing cost advantage is significant. After adding Mundra-to-Hamburg ocean freight (approximately €150/tonne FCL), German procurement teams receive certified forgings at 30–40% below domestic cost — a consistent, structural cost advantage, not a one-time promotion.
For German buyers concerned about technical documentation quality, Shivam Forge's export documentation practice matches the expectations of German incoming quality control teams. Every forging lot is accompanied by: EN 10204 3.1 material test certificate (referenced to the DIN EN standard — EN 10083-3 for alloy steels, EN 10088-3 for stainless), dimensional inspection report (CMM measurements with drawing balloon cross-reference), heat treatment chart (temperature vs time with furnace ID and load number), hardness survey record (Brinell, minimum 3 readings per piece), and NDE records where applicable (UT, MT, or PT report with operator certification detail). This complete paper trail meets the documentation requirements of German incoming quality teams — whether for a simple Maschinenbau shaft or a critical wind turbine main shaft.
Shivam Forge ships to Germany via Mundra Port on a weekly FCL container schedule. Transit to Hamburg is 15–20 days via Suez Canal. ISPM-15 certified wooden pallets (heat-treated, IPPC marked) are used as standard — required for EU plant health regulations. VCI-treated polythene packaging for corrosion protection during ocean transit. For first-article and urgent quantities, air freight from Ahmedabad (AMD) reaches Frankfurt (FRA) or Hamburg (HAM) in 2–3 days.

Yes. EN 10204 Type 3.1 is our standard export certificate for all steel forgings. The certificate references the specific DIN EN material standard (EN 10083-3 for alloy steels, EN 10088-3 for stainless), the production batch, billet mill heat number, chemical analysis (OES), mechanical test results (UTS, YS, elongation, impact), and heat treatment parameters. Traceable to individual forging batch.
We quote CIF Hamburg in EUR. The price components are: billet material cost (Indian alloy steel mill prices, typically 15–20% below European), forging cost (labour at €3–5/hour vs €40–55/hour in Germany), heat treatment, machining (if required), quality inspection, packing, and Mundra-Hamburg freight (approximately €150–200/tonne for FCL sea freight). Total landed cost is typically 30–40% below equivalent German domestic forging.
0.5 kg to 2,000 kg finished forging weight. Closed-die forgings typically 0.5–50 kg; open-die forgings 10–2,000 kg. For forgings above 2,000 kg, we work with our extended network of large presses in Rajkot-Shapar and manage the quality and certification. Contact us with your weight and dimensions for a specific capability assessment.
