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 your next industrial project, super […]

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 in Sweden. It was originally […]

Have you ever wondered why most manufacturers and end consumers use aluminum alloy castings? By using aluminum alloys for the process of die casting, they get to produce strong metal components with less time and less cost. If your next project requires the use of aluminum castings, you’ll need to get a clear snapshot of […]

Did you know that aluminum and steel are two of the most powerful contenders in the current metal casting scenario? Countless manufacturers around the world depend on these alloy castings in their pursuit of producing corrosion-resistant parts and products that are light yet strong. Have a look at a comparison between both of these metals. […]

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 the casting process, while others […]

Did you know that zinc Alloy Castings offer more benefits that you think? Compared to other alternative materials, it provides a better mix of toughness, strength, bearing, rigidity, overall performance as well as economical castability. If you’re interested in saving your time and your money, check out this detailed comparison between zinc Alloy Castings and […]

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 many processes that metals undergo […]

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 advantageous with each specific alloy […]

Closed die forgings can be used in as many ways as a given industry requires. Carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel forgings can be found anywhere, ranging in size from the smallest 3-ounce forging to enormous pieces weighing 350 pounds. Examples of industries that use closed die forging are agriculture, aerospace, mining, and off-highway. […]

Forgings involve various metalworking processes that manufacture parts with a strength more significant than other metalworking techniques. Once the metal piece is shaped during the forging process, the internal grain structure of such metal becomes uninterrupted throughout the part, producing results with exceptional reliability at high-stress points and inconceivable strength. But is this method really […]
