Brockhouse, a leader in forging technology, has been a cornerstone of durable and reliable components for the defence sector for 140 years. Our expertise in forging ensures that we’re able to provide forged parts and assemblies with the durability and performance required for safety-critical applications, including for the defence sector.
The forging process involves the bashing of metals into shape under high heat, refining the internal grain structure of the metal, resulting in finished components with superior strength, toughness, durability, and resistance to fatigue. Forging offers many distinct advantages compared to other methods of manufacturing, including the ability to eliminate the risk of internal voids and porosity which are prevalent in other methods of manufacturing, including casting. The reduction in defects ensures that components made for the defence industry meet the requirements of the sector.
By utilising forging techniques such as closed die, drop hammer, and upset forging, Brockhouse creates forged parts and complex assemblies for the defence sector, where components must withstand extreme conditions and stresses.

How Brockhouse has supported Defence manufacturers
Brockhouse supplies a variety of components to defence manufacturers, including providing diveshafts for use in tanks and other military vehicles. We also have extensive experience in the manufacturing of various sizes of towing pintles, tow pulley assemblies, armoured vehicle towing bar assemblies, as well as a range of other forgings to suit military requirements. As an approved supplier of defence related equipment for the defence sector, our forgings can be created in low volumes or in larger batch quantities, to suit the exact needs of our customers.
As part of our commitment to quality, we understand the importance of material traceability. Brockhouse sources our steel from PED approved steel mills, so we forge components which our customers can trust in terms of their strength, performance, and durability, which are essential to the defence sector.
