When it comes to choosing materials and methods for industrial components, there is a plethora of options. But, you always want the strongest alloy castings possible for your project. Here is why you may want to consider vacuum fed castings: What is Vacuum Casting? Some natural processes can aid in the casting process, while others […]

There are numerous different types of castings methods. There are investment castings, sand castings, centrifugal castings, and heat resistant castings. In addition to a wide-variety of processes, there are also numerous casting materials. While castings can be created using just one metal, alloy castings are often seen as the most advantageous with each specific alloy […]

A casting is a type of manufacturing process that many different industries use. The process involves pouring a liquid material into a mold that exhibits the desired shape and size of the final part. Once the liquid material turns to solid form, it is broken out of the mold to complete the casting process. Companies […]

When it comes to projects involving metal parts, the sensitivity of the metal is an important factor. Depending on the project, you have to make sure the metal you are using can withstand what you are needing to use it for. In the case of extreme heat, heat resistant castings are vital. Many industries rely […]

Dedicated to improving, the metal casting industry strives to improve its processes and technologies. But, there is one industrial process that has stood the test of time. Derived from lost-wax casting, castings investment – or investment casting – is still used to produce precise patterns. What is Investment Casting? Investment casting is a process of […]

When it comes to castings investment, many different materials can be used. The type of material used to make the casting largely depends on what the casting is being used for. Some materials work better under extreme temperatures, while some have more give to them. Let’s take a look at some of the different materials […]

The term investment casting is derived from the process of “investing” a pattern with refractory materials. When it comes to investment casting, the process contains several steps. Let’s take a look at the steps that are involved in a castings investment. Construction Since each investment casting destroys the wax pattern and ceramic mold, the first […]

A casting is a type of metal component that is vital to countless industries. They are created through the casting process, which consists of pouring molten metal into a mold and then allowing it to cool and solidify. The casting process is extremely versatile and offers the freedom to form intricate metal parts. Due to […]

We experience the power of gravity every day. And the metalworking industry knows how to implement natural forces. And, it creates durable products for industrial purposes. Gravity castings, also known as permanent mold castings, are one of those forces that metal workers can use to the industry’s advantage.There are some obvious benefits to using a […]

There are several different methods and techniques that can be used in manufacturing a variety of different metal components. Based on the purpose and ultimate use of the metal part, different procedures are used to create the highest quality piece possible. While determining the best process, some arrive at the question of whether they need […]
