Manufacturers commonly use castings to build complex metal components with precise dimensions. Castings can take many different forms and sizes, depending on the application and specifications. In this article, we’ll go through the rich history of metal casting and the process of creating these valuable devices. What is Metal Casting? The Rich History and Evolution […]

The process that’s involved in forging seamless rings produces components that feature toughness, strength, as well as fatigue resistance through its contoured grain flow. If you’re not familiar with this process, it starts with the starting stock of the desired material that’s being cut to size before they’re being rounded on open die presses. Once […]

Manufacturers use different types of forging processes in order to create the metal products their clients require. The forging process has four main types including impression die forging, cold forging, open die forging, and seamless rolled ring forging. Take a closer look at each one of them here: The Main Types of Forging Processes Impression […]

Are you working on a project that requires the use of seamless rolled ring forging? The process of creating a seamless rolled ring involves the creation of a circular piece of metal that’s pierced at the center. Through open die forging, the metal is formed into something that’s shaped like a doughnut before it’s heated […]
