Ferralloy, Inc. produced 4 support rings for an aerospace customer in a cast equivalent of 602CA which is a high nickel alloy heat resistant material. The rings are ~30 x 21 x 3” high and weigh 190# ea.

Thanks to possessing a wide-range of benefits, forged parts are one of the most popular metal components in the world. As a result, countless industries rely on these parts. Which industries use forgings? Keep reading to learn about the 5 most common industries that use forged parts! 5 Common Industries That Use Forgings 1) Automotive […]

Investment casting is one of the first and most common types of metal components. The procedure to create these components involves pouring molten metal into a ceramic mold. The metal solidifies within the mold, and then the metal casting is broken out. Industries that focus on food equipment, railroad, heat treating, steel production and processing, […]

Have you ever wondered how some of the most common machines are made? What goes into making these parts? You’d be surprised to know that a lot of the things you use every day are made by investment castings. What is an Investment Casting? The investment casting process is ideal for creating a high-volume of […]

Producing a quality machined castings surface does not only deal with the metal used, but it is also affected by a lot of factors. It’s always a group effort that includes the customer, materials used, the process performed, and the efficiency of the producer. Since the areas that you need to finish machining require that […]

Ferralloy, Inc. has begun supplying a major OEM of mining and construction equipment with machined forgings. The materials the customer is purchasing are 4140, 8637H and 8740H. The company has 12 tools in production now and are in the sampling stage with nine (9) additional forgings. The company ships the machined forgings against blanket orders […]
