If you’re familiar with the production of investment castings, you probably understand how important heat treatments are regardless if your project requires ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. Without the critical stage of applying heat treatments, the mechanical properties of the materials used will not be sufficiently enhanced. Therefore, a range of […]

You might have seen a jewelry store offering rings made from titanium or has titanium mixed within its compound. While it might look smooth, sturdy, and pretty to look at, what’s the real score? Today we’ll find out how these seamless rings rank when it comes to durability and efficiency. […]

Casting is quite an ancient process compared to forging. It was a technical advancement when swords were forged rather than just cast and sharpened. However, casting – especially machined castings – is still preferred when you have very large cross-sections for which forging would require an enormous amount of force. […]

Global sourcing is used as part of the purchasing process to obtain materials and goods from nations other than one’s own in order to obtain specific benefits. This is owing to the fact that, depending on their level of development, various countries charge different prices for the same products and […]

A lot of industries know by now that open die forging can measurably decrease the costs of materials, as it needs less starting stock to create several part shapes. Hence, less machining is required to achieve a specific metal component with the added assistance of lesser lead time.Likewise, it has […]

Open die forging is known to have the most demanding applications in the metal industry. It is used because of the several features it contributes, such as near net shape materials and improved structural integrity. Read on to know the typical open die forging applications. Applications and Benefits of Open […]

Rolled ring forging, closed die forging, and open die forging are three of the most common metalworking processes. Although they are all forging methods, they are also all different. It is important to be able to tell these processes apart in order to determine which fits your specific needs. To […]

When you use open die forging is combined with closed die forging in your tailored forging process, you can optimize time and cost savings. How Hybrid Forging Works In order to move material more efficiently, hybrid forgers can use less tonnage in a prescribed manner instead of pushing 100% of […]
