If you have a project that requires parts to function in extreme heat above 1,200 °F (670 °C), you need a heat resistant casting. It’s important to know, however, that all heat resistant products are not the same. There are countless factors that go into deciding which component is best for your specific industry and […]

In the metalworking world, every metal part possesses its own unique set of benefits. No matter what industry you’re in, it’s important to know the benefits of different metal components so that you can choose the part that will be the most valuable for your specific project. One metal part that is used in various […]

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 […]

If you need unique parts for your next project, you may want to consider choosing investment castings. Due to the fact that it offers flexibility in terms of design, these components are widely used in various industries. Primarily created by utilizing a specific mold for the series of coating and hardening processes, investment castings feature […]

Ferralloy, Inc. is producing a family of investment castings for a international producer of refractory metal powders. The castings are used in applications which require a reduction of the powder at temperatures in excess of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The investment casting process allows the boats to be cast to a near net shape while holding […]

When it comes to heavy equipment manufacturing, strength, durability, and reliability are paramount. To ensure the highest level of performance in machinery designed to withstand immense forces and extreme conditions, the use of superior materials is essential. Among these materials, rolled ring forgings stand tall as a crucial component, providing unrivaled strength and integrity to […]

Ferralloy, Inc. produced 4 support rings for an aerospace customer in a cast equivalent of 602CA which is a high nickel alloy heat resistant material. The rings are ~30 x 21 x 3” high and weigh 190# ea.

For hundreds of years, people have been heat-treating metals for the purpose of improving their physical and chemical properties to fit a given application. However, we’ve come a long way since the blacksmiths of the middle ages forged and tempered metals to produce tools for everyday life. Today, material engineers and metallurgists use more specialized […]

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 […]

Heat treatment is the process of heating and cooling metals to change their microstructure and to bring out the physical and mechanical characteristics that make metals more desirable. Let’s take a look at the heat treating process as well as some examples of heat treating, such as heat treating baskets. What is Heat Treatment? Heat […]
