The forging industry has come a long way. It has found new uses as a result of the utilization of various processes and techniques, making the overall process more fruitful and efficient. With the advancement of technology and methods, the forging process, especially open die forging, has found applications in a variety of industries, including […]

Do you know what type of alloy is known to have oxidation – and corrosion-resistant materials? Inconel, a brand name for specific nickel-chromium alloys, is well-suited for service in extreme environments subjected to pressure and heat. It is often used by industries that use forged materials exposed to extreme heat because of this capability. However, […]

Anyone who’s in the field of metalwork is aware of the fact that various casting methods can be used to turn molten metals into specific shapes and designs for commercial and industrial purposes. However, if you’re interested to determine which of these casting methods would best affect your bottom-line profits, you may want to take […]

Customers in aerospace markets work with metal experts who can provide the integrity and performance that they demand. To meet this demand, manufacturers often use the integrated approach that includes investment casting and other casting processes. The goal is to produce a supply of intricately-detailed net-shaped products that can only be created through the process […]

How much do you know about stainless steel investment casting? Did you know that sometimes, even if fancy techniques such as pipe bending are being used, it can still be impossible to produce various unusual shapes of stainless-steel products? These irregularly-shaped products that could either be hollow or solid inside them can only be produced […]

Die casting, and investment casting are 2 of the foremost important types of casting. Die casting is a method wherein molten metal is created and formed into a mold cavity by way of enforcing high pressure. On the other side, investment casting is a process that involves the injection of wax into the aluminum cavity. […]

Lost-wax castings are commonly known as precision castings or investment castings. It is a procedure of designing and building an object with the use of a variety of metals. From simple to complex objects, lost-wax casting use metals like bronze, brass, silver, or gold to create an original pattern or model. The Lost-Wax Casting Process […]

When it comes to forging, there are primarily two types that come to mind. Open die forging and closed die forging are two great ways to produce the products you need for your next project. Open-Die Forgings Open-die forgings also are known as free forging, given that the die is not closed like in closed […]
