Investment Casting

More often than not, high-performance alloys may require the use of a vacuum during castings investment. This method is specifically used when control of exposure to oxygen as well as component detail is highly critical. For example, structural automotive parts that have thin to medium wall sections need to meet […]

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 […]

Machining and die casting are two of the most used industrial procedures for producing metal products. Both procedures can potentially be combined to achieve the most significant result. However, there are some crucial aspects to consider when deciding between the two processes. It may be challenging to choose, but it’s […]

Ferralloy is supplying an investment casting to a manufacturer of computer hardware components. This CF16FA material investment casting will be finish machined after assembly into a leading computer manufacturer’s subassembly. Annual volume of this component will be > 20,000 units.

The quality of the parts produced via the investment casting method is highly dependent on the quality control of each link. Thankfully, any stainless-steel casting manufacturer can influence the casting quality by paying close attention to the three basic aspects that are based on the casting defects that usually take […]

Did you know that investment casting technique dates back over 5,000 years ago? This makes it one of the oldest ways to form metal. Furthermore, this is used in a wide variety of items including dental fixtures, jewelry, airplanes, cars, and other parts of complex geometry. However, if you’re curious […]

If you’re familiar with the production of investment castings, you probably understand how important heat treatments are regardless if your project requires ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. Without the critical stage of applying heat treatments, the mechanical properties of the materials used will not be sufficiently enhanced. Therefore, a range of […]

The three (3) investment castings are components in an assembly that are produced in Type 316-L stainless steel. Ferralloy, Inc. is stocking the products in its warehouse and releasing them according to their customer’s requirements.

When it comes to obtaining the parts you need for a product, there are a variety of manufacturing techniques available. However, it’s vital to understand which ones give the most pleasing results at the best prices with so many options. Investment casting is a process that has been used for […]

In product condition processes, shock resistance testing is used to assess the impact of sudden acceleration due to the collision, drop, and explosion. Companies focused on castings investment and forging perform this test to develop products that can withstand harsh military, transportation, and industrial environments. What You Need to Know […]
