Furnace rolls work in some of the harshest environments. They will typically see temperatures in excess of 500 degrees Fahrenheit for years at a time. Materials used are made to withstand this criteria, so they are also difficult to machine. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of gas furnaces that furnace […]

There are a variety of applications where heat resistant castings are needed. Especially when temperatures reach extremely high levels, making sure that components in the equipment being used will withstand the circumstances is important in order to ensure the manufacturing process is successfully accomplished. What kind of applications benefit from heat resistant castings? The focus […]

When it comes to heavy equipment manufacturing, strength, durability, and reliability are paramount. To ensure the highest level of performance in machinery designed to withstand immense forces and extreme conditions, the use of superior materials is essential. Among these materials, rolled ring forgings stand tall as a crucial component, providing unrivaled strength and integrity to […]

Open die forging is a metalworking process that involves shaping a heated metal billet between two flat dies without completely enclosing the material. This process can create a wide variety of shapes and sizes, making it popular in the aerospace, automotive, and defense industries. Here are some common questions and answers about open die forging. […]

When it comes to ring rolled forgings, there is a lot you need to know. How are they made? What are they made from? Where can I find them in the real world? Can they help me with my next project? All of these questions and more can be answered below. The Process First, the […]

Did you know that compared to other traditional metalworking methods, using rolled ring forgings allows you to resolve the most common manufacturing problems? Rolled ring forgings are created from a circular piece of the metal preform that’s been punched at the center, rounded out and cut until the desired part weight is achieved. To prove […]

Did you know that a seamless rolled ring forging is a process that involves ring rolling on rolling mills? In case you’re wondering, these rolling mills come in different sizes in order to create rings with outside diameters that range from a few inches to over 300” and weights that range from 1lb. to about […]

When it comes to metalworking, there are several different methods a professional can use to create durable components. Sometimes a manufacturer is able to get a product so close to its final stage that finishing is not a requirement. This is the opposite of net shape manufacturing. Learn more about near net shaping and why […]

Among the most ideal ways to make lasting and quality components are through castings. It allows for a high level of detail, which results in not needing additional fabrication or assembly. When it comes to rolled ring forgings, steel and iron are the two most popular due to their exceptional mechanical properties for a vast […]

Forged steel has been the foundation of most components and metal parts. The passion, work, and attention invested in this material that is so valuable to companies have allowed them to achieve everything over the past few decades. Most goods are made primarily from forged steel, which is modified in shape and internal structure using […]
