The heat-treating process is one of the most important steps in preparing components to be used on job sites. One crucial piece of the process is the heat treating baskets. These baskets are often overlooked but play arguably the most important part of the process. What is a Heat-Treating Basket? A heat-treating basket is used […]

When it comes to heat treating your parts, a crucial part of the process is using a heat treating basket to expose the parts to extreme conditions. When it comes to heat treating baskets, there are a wide variety of types. Typically, even the strongest baskets that have previously been on the market do not […]

When it comes to needing parts to work in high temperature, it is important to remember to work with a heat resistant casting. However, not all heat castings are created equal. There are numerous different factors that go into selecting the proper component. Radiant Tubes are one of the many types of heat resistant products […]

When it comes to casting, there are primarily two popular methods. Pressure casting, which uses gas or air pressure to help facilitate the flow of material into the casting and gravity fed casting uses the natural force of gravity to help the material flow where it needs to. Castings are all around you and are […]

Did you know that manufacturers have been using the casting technique since 1838? Although the basic aspects of the casting process haven’t changed much since then, modern-day machines and technological advancements make it possible to produce end products or parts in different ways – two of which are die casting and casting investment. If you’re […]

There are many different metals that can be used in an industrial setting, but the best is titanium. Titanium fasteners, tubing, and bolts are just a few things the material can be made in to. It can be used to make many different types of parts and has tons of benefits. As a result, there […]

Investment castings, otherwise known as lost-wax casting, makes parts from molten metals. Typically, it is used to make stainless-steel alloys, brass, aluminum, and carbon steel. It is also used to mass produce parts and make small, detail-oriented parts that require a lot of precision. How is an Investment Casting Made? There are three ways to […]

When it comes to different types of projects involving metal parts, it’s important to consider the sensitivity of the metals you’re using. Depending on the project, you must make sure that the parts can withstand the processes you intend to use. One example of a process to be wary of is extreme heating. In the […]

When it comes to industrial materials, alloys are used often and for a wide range of things. An alloy is any metal by combining two or more metallic elements. Doing this creates something much stronger or with a special feature to it, such as being resistant to corrosion. An alloy is used in things like […]

A large manufacturer of industrial motors requested Ferralloy, Inc. to redesign an internal motor component, so as to eliminate a large portion of the machining required to finish it.By utilizing the investment casting process, the company was able to reduce the weight of the casting and actually ‘cast in’ a few features that were machined […]
