heat-resistant-castings

Ferralloy, Inc. was recently contacted by a large automotive parts manufacturer to design a cast heat treating basket that would replace their current fabricated design. The customer provided Ferralloy, Inc. with their specific requirements such as operating temperature, the need to build in outside pockets for lifting and also to consider their need to stack […]

Are you wondering about how the process of producing metal castings work? Perhaps you already know that casting is a method that involves the dissolution of solid metal through the application of heat. Once liquefied, it is then poured into a mold or a shaped cavity where it is cooled during its solidification. Its end […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
