Titanium tubes are classified into two categories, commercially pure and alloys with additives such as aluminum and vanadium. Within each category, there are grades given to the titanium. This blog will go into the different grades of titanium to give you a better idea of what kind of titanium you need for your titanium tubing. […]

Do you know the history of titanium and titanium tubing? Keep reading to learn the entire backstory of this essential metal! The History of Titanium Titanium’s history begins around 1790, when an ore of titanium was discovered in England and named after “Titan”, the Greek God of enormous strength. It took a while, 120 years […]

Titanium pipe is being used in an increasing number of applications because there are so many cases in which stainless steel and other materials are simply insufficient. Tubing is one of the common titanium mill products, and it is used in a range of products because of its superior strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Let’s […]

One of the many products we offer at Ferralloy is titanium tubes. These tubes have many different uses and are found in a variety of different fields. Before purchasing titanium tubing, let’s take a look at a few things you should know about them. It Has Many Desirable Attributes When it comes to Titanium, it […]

Steel forgings are produced through a manufacturing process that is different from casting. The unique properties of forgings result in components that are often more reliable and have improved tolerance capabilities. Why Use Steel Forgings for Container Systems Easy to Machine Steel forgings are easier to machine, making them a more efficient choice for automated […]

Metalworkers can create strong and durable metal components using a variety of methods. However, some methods are sometimes better suited for certain projects better than others. Gravity fed castings and steel forgings are extremely different methods. But, how to they measure up against each other? What Are Gravity Fed Castings? Gravity feeding is a method […]

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. One the materials that can be forged is steel. Forged components are found in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, agricultural, and aerospace. Let’s take a look at some of the industries steel forgings are found in and how they […]

Hot forging and cold forging are two different metal forming processes that deliver similar results. Let’s take a look at the differences between hot and cold forging and how they pertain to steel forgings. Hot Forging Process When a piece of metal is hot forged it must be heated significantly. The average temperatures necessary for […]

When there is a need in the metal working industry for steel forgings or a product that will need to withstand a large amount of pressure and wear, or if a company is in need of a mechanical piece, the process of forging may be required. Most of the parts in a car and aerospace […]

Forged steel has been the foundation of most components and metal parts. The passion, work, and attention invested in this material that is so valuable to companies have allowed them to achieve everything over the past few decades. Most goods are made primarily from forged steel, which is modified in shape and internal structure using […]
