Although the process of machined castings may originally come across as rather a straightforward method, there is a lot of misinformation surrounding this industry. At Ferralloy, we believe in using the most efficient, safest, and best methods in the machine shop to guarantee that our products are cast with exceptional accuracy. Machined castings are castings […]

Whether it’s sand casting, investment casting, or steel castings, casting is undeniably one of the most versatile methods of metalworking to this date. It can be used in different industries and is vital to certain sectors such as mining, railroad, and construction. While casting is well-received, it’s not without its faults, and what are these […]

There are several types of machined castings and the less discussed methods are continuous and lost foam casting. Both have complicated technological processes and complex technical characteristics. Here are the facts on the two types of castings. Why Choose These Types of Castings Continuous Casting It is a state-of-the-art casting method that involves the continuous […]

Machining and die casting are two of the most used industrial procedures for producing metal products. Both procedures can potentially be combined to achieve the most significant result. However, there are some crucial aspects to consider when deciding between the two processes. It may be challenging to choose, but it’s always important to get this […]

Plates are designed by continuous rolling and casting or, in most instances, steel is processed into a bullet then hot rolled to be shaped in its final plate thickness. Akin to steel plates, rolled ring forgings are forged in the same process – it differs only in terms of rolling directions. Continue reading to know […]

Regardless of what the movies showcase, welding is, in essence, a serious job. It’s a highly-skilled trade that is employed to weld metal components such as seamless rings together. So, what are the various forms of welding and how are they applied in industries? Common Types of Welding Flux-Cored Arc Welding Flux-cored arc welding is […]

The thermal and rolling treatment of forged rolled rings sometimes leads to the creation of residual stresses, causing dimensional distortion in the results. However, there are tons of corrective measures employed by forging industries to address this concern. Ongoing studies are seeking to base newly-found corrective measures on the laws of physics. How does Dimensional […]

Aluminum is ideally suitable for various applications and techniques. Since it is extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight, aluminum machined forgings are perfect in almost all metal-using industries. To avoid environmental damage, the aluminum surface atoms immediately create a protective oxide coat, when exposed to water and air, which preclude further internal abrasion. Design Flexibility and […]
