Ferralloy, Inc. is producing stainless steel balls for the oil and gas valve industry.The balls are investment cast from 304 and 316 grades of stainless steel and are then machined and polished to the engineering requirements of our customers.Sizes available are from ¾” to 10” diameter and are available in hollow, solid and spherical designs.

The company is supplying a beverage industry equipment manufacturer with two versions of these investment cast components. The 3 pound and 4 pound versions of the 316L investment castings were originally produced as fabrications from plate and bar stock. The components were welded together and then machined. By utilizing the investment casting process, the subassembly […]

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 always important to get this […]

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 […]

Ferralloy, Inc. is supplying machined investment castings to a customer in the water treatment industry. 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.

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 heat treatment processes such as […]

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.

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 stringent requirements that include high […]
