In the metalworking world, there are a variety of different materials that can be used to create forged parts. Inconel, cobalt alloys, titanium, nickel, and steel are just a few of the countless forging materials that you can utilize for your next project. Which one you choose all depends on the specific application of your […]

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 it comes to metal parts, only a few types of components compare to castings. Castings can be produced with fine detail, thin walls, excellent “as-cast” surface finish, shape into external or internal features, and near-net shapes. Furthermore, cast parts allow customers to money thanks to the minimal use of material, machining, and labor. While […]

Cobalt alloy is a non-magnetic alloy which contains a variety of different metal components. The main two elements found are cobalt and chromium. It has been around since the 1900s and can be used as a substitute for traditional metal cutlery. Let’s take a deeper look at what exactly the product is and what its […]

Forgings and castings are two very different manufacturing methods, both resulting in quality materials. But, why do we forge some products rather than casting them and vice versa? Some products reach their ultimate potential with varying methods. Here’s why forged rolled rings require forging rather than casting: What’s the Difference Between Forging and Casting? Forging […]

Heat treatment occurs when a metal is heated and then cooled in order to change its shape and structure. The temperature metals are heated to and the rate of cooling after heat treatment can significantly change steel castings’ properties. The most common reasons metals undergo heat treatment are to improve their strength, hardness, toughness, ductility, […]

Rolled ring forgings are produced using an intricate and complex technique. They create ubiquitous metal components. These types of forgings can be found in machines, robotics, valves, flanges, drives, clutches, couplings, gears, and more. It’s crucial to remember that not all rolled ring forgings are the same.Based on their distinct qualities and advantages, many rolled […]

High-temperature applications pose significant challenges in a variety of industries, requiring the use of specialized materials. Castings that are resistant to heat have emerged as an important choice for such demanding environments. These castings, which are designed to endure extreme temperatures, have various characteristics that make them perfect for high-temperature applications. In this blog post, […]

Ferralloy, Inc. is providing six (6) machined investment castings to this customer from an inventory stocking program. The investment castings in this program weigh between 10 ounces and 3.26 pounds each. The photographs show the intricacies […]

Every component or part that rolls or has power behind it mostly requires quality gears. Many distinct types of gear are utilized in various fields and settings, and each has its own specifications. Likewise, gears and bearings are examples of forged rolled rings. A Simple Glimpse of Gears and Bearings   Gear Industries   Several […]
