CCRB PARTS U3 FABRICATION

CCRB PARTS U3-FABRICATION is a full-scope custom manufacturing service that transforms Continuous Cast Round Billets (CCRB) into finished, precision-engineered components. Leveraging high-purity CCRB feedstock in diameters ranging from Φ310 mm to Φ1320 mm and Φ1600 mm, the platform integrates a complete suite of capabilities—including forging, piercing, ring rolling, heat treatment, machining, and non-destructive examination (NDE)—to deliver large and extra-large components weighing over 100 metric tons with diameters exceeding 4 meters.

Machining accuracy reaches IT7 grade on critical mating surfaces, with geometric tolerances controlled within ±0.1 mm/m, meeting the stringent demands of high-end energy equipment for structural integrity and in-service reliability.

This service has been successfully deployed in global projects across pumped-storage hydropower, offshore wind, oil & gas extraction, and heavy machinery, providing verifiable, traceable, and sustainable component supply assurance for critical infrastructure.

U3ARC globally endorses this service and provides integrated support in application engineering consultation, supply chain co-planning, and third-party testing coordination, enabling seamless collaboration from concept design through to volume delivery.
