Defects in steel forgings are often left out because they’re either hard to spot or because manufacturers rely too much on machined forgings. A lot of these defects usually come from the raw materials used in making the forgings.  Imperfections in steel forgings are considered to be defects, ranging from […]

You’ve might have heard and seen zirconium from various TV shows and documentaries, but what and where does this precious metal come from? To start, zirconium comes from the mineral zircon that belongs to the group of nesosilicates that are rock-forming minerals. This metal is usually used as a refractory […]

Steel is one of the most versatile and sought-after metalworking materials. It plays a vital role in various industries. Due to its desirable properties, steel comes in various forms. Which steel component you use depends on your specific requirements and needs. Steel castings are often a popular choice. Keep reading […]

Ferralloy, Inc. began shipping an order for 120 furnace roll trunnions, or bell ends as they are sometimes referred to, for a new heat treating furnace ordered by a large international steel producer.The requirement for forgings in this application is somewhat unusual as this component is typically supplied as a […]

Choosing the right metal for your steel forgings will ensure that the forged product will meet design requirements and be of the highest quality. Furthermore, you want to choose a metal that will perform well in the application without causing any problems like corrosion, severe wear and tear, or mechanical […]

Steel is, undoubtedly, a versatile metalwork material. But unlike iron, it isn’t easy to melt. An experienced and equipped expert must perform the procedure with this. As for steel castings, these are now utilized in a variety of sectors, including building, electronics, and food processing.   Steel Casting 101   […]

The forging process produces stronger pieces than any other metalworking method. Utilizing the metal’s inherent grain flow, steel forgings modify the grain flow to follow the contours of each part’s specific geometry. When cutting through the grain with machining or when casting pieces, this grain flow contouring is lost.   […]

Regardless of what the movies showcase, welding is, in essence, a serious job. It’s a highly-skilled trade that is employed to weld metal components such as seamless rings together. So, what are the various forms of welding and how are they applied in industries? Common Types of Welding Flux-Cored Arc […]
