Though investment casting, also known as lost wax casting, has been around for thousands of years, there have been improvements to the method. The modifications are intended to improve the pattern development procedure and address the use of wax. Evaporative pattern casting is the general term for lost wax casting because the material used to […]

Have you ever wondered why your stainless-steel plates don’t corrode when exposed to water and air? It’s due to the fact that they’re made of alloy castings. They help metals perform better. As a result, you’re surrounded with it every day. Metals like copper, iron, silver, gold, and others are usually hard to come by […]

Metal castings are a 2-millennia metalworking technique initially applied to manufacturing in 3200 BCE. New metal casting techniques were created over time and are now frequently utilized to make various items, including jewelry and weaponry.It is one of the most outstanding manufacturing processes for intricate structures that would otherwise require a lot of time and […]

Cold and hot forming of Inconel alloy 600 is possible with conventional techniques. Because the ductility declines between 1200- and 1600-degrees Fahrenheit, hot work should only be done between 1600- and 2250-degrees Fahrenheit. Moreover, SMA, TIG, and MIG are all acceptable methods for welding alloy 600. Inconel 600 Basics Description The standard engineering material Inconel […]

Lost wax investment casting, commonly known as investment castings, produces a variety of metal components with exceptional as-cast surface quality and precise detail. These are shaped into interior or exterior features, thin walls, and internal passageways to achieve a near-net shape. Compared to conventional metal casting methods, these properties generally result in significant material, labor, […]

Precision is key when creating reliable metal components. Whether you are looking for an investment casting or something else, machining for an industrial project is a way to ensure accuracy of cuts. But term machining has not always meant the same thing in the metalworking industry.As the technology of machining has changed, the definition of […]

Casting is a simple, inexpensive and versatile way of forming aluminum into a wide array of products. Items such as power transmissions, car engine, and even the cap atop the Washington Monument were all produced through the aluminum casting process. Here are some other facts about alloy castings. The Casting Process Casting is the original […]

In the eyes of the average person, alloys and metals are one in the same. Many people think that an alloy is part of the metal family. That’s not the case. Not only are alloys and metals different, they have very specific uses. Let’s take a look at just a few of the reasons why […]

The integrity of any project requiring metal work lies on the integrity of the material used. There is a reason super alloys are named “super.” Their strength and stability make them ideal for particular products and alloy castings. If you are looking to create strong and high performing castings for your next industrial project, super […]

You have your basic metals and alloys – titanium, stainless steel, aluminum and more. And they’re great! But, behind the classics, are some renowned metals and alloys with properties that ensure the integrity of alloy castings. Tantalum is one of those materials. History of Tantalum Scientist found tantalum in 1802 in Sweden. It was originally […]
