Seamless rolled ring forgings are a method of producing a high-quality apparatus that may be used in a variety of mechanical devices, including: Bearings Flanges Wind turbines Clutches Couplings Valves Robotics Understanding Seamless Rolled Rings? The Advantages of Rolled Ring Forging The technique of rolled ring forging begins with a […]

A modern job site is a melting pot of different components and materials, but one of the most common things you’ll find is titanium fasteners. Why is that? Because of how useful titanium is as a material. But why is it so useful? What can it be used for? Hopefully, […]

Zirconium is a silver-gray transition metal, a type of element that is malleable and ductile and easily forms stable compounds. It is also highly resistant to corrosion. Let’s take a look at some facts about the metal as well as where you might use it and where you can get […]

When it comes to the forging process, there are many different types. One of the more popular types used to create parts that are used in your everyday life is through open die forging. The Process The open die forging process is a popular and effective way to produce the […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
