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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ferralloy, Inc. is currently shipping machined Type 316 stainless steel investment castings to a major US food equipment manufacturer. 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. […]

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 […]

In some bearing applications, such as planetary gear, rolling mills, and airplanes, the flexibility of bearing rings is crucial for determining the properties of the such metal component. That is why quality seamless rolled rings are important. When a heavy applied load, a big-size bearing, a hollow shaft, and a […]

A few pounds up to more than 150 tons of forged materials can be produced using open die forging. It is known as open die forging because the metal is not laterally constrained by impression dies when forging. It gradually shapes the initial stock into the required shape, typically between […]

Outside diameters for seamless rings can range from 2 to 110 inches. They can also weigh as little as one pound or as much as 50,000 pounds. To produce these parts, a donut-shaped component is made by piercing a metal preform with a circular shape. The part is heated beyond […]

One method for producing complicated parts and other metal components is investment castings. The entire process of designing and producing the necessary workpieces involves several distinct processes. The workpieces are made around a shelled casting, which is later removed after they have been poured into the mold and dried. Read […]

Corrosion is one of the biggest and most common problems faced by industries using forged materials. To avoid this concern, manufacturers ventured into using Inconel alloys. It turned out to be useful and effective. Hence, Inconel alloys are still widely used by forging industries to produce quality and oxidation-resistant end […]
