Lost wax investment casting, commonly known as investment castings, produces a variety of metal components with exceptional as-cast surface quality and precise detail. These are shaped into interior or exterior features, thin walls, and internal passageways to achieve a near-net shape. Compared to conventional metal casting methods, these properties generally […]

Precision is key when creating reliable metal components. Whether you are looking for an investment casting or something else, machining for an industrial project is a way to ensure accuracy of cuts. But term machining has not always meant the same thing in the metalworking industry.As the technology of machining […]

Casting is a simple, inexpensive and versatile way of forming aluminum into a wide array of products. Items such as power transmissions, car engine, and even the cap atop the Washington Monument were all produced through the aluminum casting process. Here are some other facts about alloy castings. The Casting […]

In the eyes of the average person, alloys and metals are one in the same. Many people think that an alloy is part of the metal family. That’s not the case. Not only are alloys and metals different, they have very specific uses. Let’s take a look at just a […]

The integrity of any project requiring metal work lies on the integrity of the material used. There is a reason super alloys are named “super.” Their strength and stability make them ideal for particular products and alloy castings. If you are looking to create strong and high performing castings for […]

You have your basic metals and alloys – titanium, stainless steel, aluminum and more. And they’re great! But, behind the classics, are some renowned metals and alloys with properties that ensure the integrity of alloy castings. Tantalum is one of those materials. History of Tantalum Scientist found tantalum in 1802 […]

When it comes to choosing materials and methods for industrial components, there is a plethora of options. But, you always want the strongest alloy castings possible for your project. Here is why you may want to consider vacuum fed castings: What is Vacuum Casting? Some natural processes can aid in […]

To get the metal components you use in everyday life, there are several processes that have to take place in order to achieve the end product. Even the most commonly used metal items that people use in their daily lives would be unrecognizable in its raw form. One of the […]

There are numerous different types of castings methods. There are investment castings, sand castings, centrifugal castings, and heat resistant castings. In addition to a wide-variety of processes, there are also numerous casting materials. While castings can be created using just one metal, alloy castings are often seen as the most […]

In addition to nickel, iron, and chromium, Inconel is also a great alloy to use. What makes it a valuable substance is the fact that it is resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. The only drawback is that it isn’t very cost-effective to create.   Although it is one of […]
