Steely resolve

In the face of worldwide economic turmoil, one UK metals group is on course to forge a successful year as it taps into global markets. Doncasters is investing in state-of-the-art technology for producing forged and rolled large rings and casings, with a new facility expected to be established by 2010. The investment includes plans to develop facilities for non-destructive testing, welding and heat treatment for the post processing of cast turbine airfoils, and expanding the capability to deliver engine-ready components.
