When it comes to projects involving metal parts, the sensitivity of the metal is an important factor. Depending on the project, you have to make sure the metal you are using can withstand what you are needing to use it for. In the case of extreme heat, heat resistant castings are vital. Many industries rely […]

Dedicated to improving, the metal casting industry strives to improve its processes and technologies. But, there is one industrial process that has stood the test of time. Derived from lost-wax casting, castings investment – or investment casting – is still used to produce precise patterns. What is Investment Casting? Investment casting is a process of […]

When it comes to castings investment, many different materials can be used. The type of material used to make the casting largely depends on what the casting is being used for. Some materials work better under extreme temperatures, while some have more give to them. Let’s take a look at some of the different materials […]

The term investment casting is derived from the process of “investing” a pattern with refractory materials. When it comes to investment casting, the process contains several steps. Let’s take a look at the steps that are involved in a castings investment. Construction Since each investment casting destroys the wax pattern and ceramic mold, the first […]

A casting is a type of metal component that is vital to countless industries. They are created through the casting process, which consists of pouring molten metal into a mold and then allowing it to cool and solidify. The casting process is extremely versatile and offers the freedom to form intricate metal parts. Due to […]

We experience the power of gravity every day. And the metalworking industry knows how to implement natural forces. And, it creates durable products for industrial purposes. Gravity castings, also known as permanent mold castings, are one of those forces that metal workers can use to the industry’s advantage.There are some obvious benefits to using a […]

Because closed die forging does not require hot material like open die forging, it can generate intricate shapes. It is a more efficient and cost-effective method of creating forged products. Likewise, it provides a lower production cost since each part requires less effort after the initial shaping step. Near Net Shape Forging in Detail What […]

Over the years, the forging industry has tremendously evolved. The use of various techniques and processes gave rise to applications in industries such as construction, agricultural, automotive, machinery, and so much more. Furthermore, the two most popular forms of forging are open die forging and closed die forging. Although both are rooted in the fundamental […]

When it comes to forging, there are several types. One of the most used types of forging is closed die forging. There are not only a lot of benefits to this kind of forging, but it can produce a wide variety of parts too. The Closed Die Forging Process The process begins when two dies […]

In case you’re not familiar, forging refers to the manufacturing process that involves the shaping of a piece of metal with the use of compressive forces. A power hammer or a die delivers the blows. Today, it has become a major worldwide industry and its traditional products include hardware, kitchenware, cymbals, edged weapons, hand tools, […]
