Open die forging, wherein the die only comes in contact with part of the workpiece at a time, is distinct from closed die forging. The latter has high initial costs for establishing fool-proof processes and tools, but it is the most cost-effective forging technique for bulk production. The reason is that recurrent expenses for each […]

When it comes to investing in the proper components for your next project, one method you should consider is investment castings. This method can utilize alloy castings and more to make the best components possible. The Process There are primarily two ways that investment castings are made, gravity fed and vacuum casting. Gravity fed casting […]

Most manufacturers use the closed die forging technique when they need to forge metallic parts that are small or medium-sized. The fact that multiple elements and factors are being merged during the process of forging leaves us no reason to wonder why this technique is able to generate results that are geometrically accurate. However, before […]

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. When it comes to forging, there are four main ways to forge a part. Those four are impression die forging, cold forging, open die forgings, and seamless rolled ring forging. Let’s take a look at each type of the four main […]

When it comes to different types of projects involving metal parts, it’s important to consider the sensitivity of the metals you’re using. Depending on the project, you must make sure that the parts can withstand the processes you intend to use. One example of a process to be wary of is extreme heating. In the […]

The forging industry has come a long way from using inefficient processes and antiquated applications. Today, we see forging engineering in various industries including machinery, construction, automotive, agricultural, oilfield equipment, and so much more. Although there are numerous options for metal deformation using the forging concept, the most widely-applied processes are closed and Open Die […]

Whether you’re going for a walk, heading to your office, or riding a bus on your way home, forged steel always makes its appearance. Steel forgings are made out of alloying carbon and iron. Forged steel is produced under extremely high, yet accurate, pressure. It has better ductility than other manufactured steel, possesses fatigue strength, […]

Metal alloys and pure metals have a lot in common, and people frequently argue about which is the best to utilize. Metal alloys can provide a number of advantages that pure metals cannot. Learn about the benefits of using metal alloy castings rather than pure metals castings. The Advantages of Using Metal Alloys Instead of […]

Metals are important materials that have been used for centuries in various industries. The manufacturing process of metals involves casting and seamless rolled ring forging. Two popular forms of metal shapes that are commonly used are ingots and billets.   Although they may appear similar, there are significant differences between the two in terms of […]

Carpenter 20 is a highly resistant alloy prized for its exceptional durability and strength, especially in investment castings. This metal is composed of nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and copper, which make it highly resistant to corrosion and acidic environments.  Also known as Alloy 20, it is often used in industries requiring extreme corrosion resistance, including chemical, […]
