From transmissions to gearboxes, producing smooth rolled ring forgings is critical for providing a quality product, especially when you want the mechanical qualities of the bearings and other custom gears to be improved. Ferralloy Inc. guarantees that the manufacturers of these seamless rings strictly regulate the manufacturing methods and chemistries to reduce residual stress. Reasons […]

When it comes to the modern industrial site, you need materials that can stand up to a lot of different environments. Alloy castings are going to be something you use often on projects. What are alloys? They are a highly-useful material that can change the way you do business. Properties Some metals have better electrical […]

Have you ever wondered why most manufacturers and end consumers use aluminum alloy castings? By using aluminum alloys for the process of die casting, they get to produce strong metal components with less time and less cost. If your next project requires the use of aluminum castings, you’ll need to get a clear snapshot of […]

Defects in steel forgings are often left out because they’re either hard to spot or because manufacturers rely too much on machined forgings. A lot of these defects usually come from the raw materials used in making the forgings.  Imperfections in steel forgings are considered to be defects, ranging from unfilled sections to surface cracking. […]

For hundreds of years, people have been heat-treating metals for the purpose of improving their physical and chemical properties to fit a given application. However, we’ve come a long way since the blacksmiths of the middle ages forged and tempered metals to produce tools for everyday life. Today, material engineers and metallurgists use more specialized […]

Do you plan to choose investment castings for your next project? The production of these precision-engineered parts allows you to reduce energy, material waste, and additional machining. However, before choosing investment casting, the following factors need to be considered: Cost of Tooling When it comes to selecting the tooling options you need for investment casting, […]

If you have a project of metal parts and you’re not quite sure about the production process that it requires, it’s best to look into the investment casting technique. Better yet, talk to an expert at producing investment castings and other engineered metal products. In most cases, people choose the investment casting method when they […]

Global sourcing refers to purchasing goods, resources, or services from producers or suppliers outside your nation. Although local sourcing provides several benefits, such as quicker logistics, better manufacturing control, and a quicker time to market, international sourcing also has many benefits.   It is the practice of obtaining products and services from the global market […]

In the metalworking industry, forging is a widely used process that allows the transformation of raw materials forms into robust and complex components. Among the various forging techniques, two popular methods stand out: open die forging and closed die forging. While both techniques share the common goal of shaping metal through controlled deformation, they differ […]

Investment castings are one of the most common metal casting techniques today. Equipment and methodological advancements have kept up with demand throughout the years. The wax is melted out of the mold by heating it in an oven, leaving a ceramic shell mold for casting. What Is the Mechanism? Construction of a Metal Die The […]
