Titanium pipe is being used in an increasing number of applications because there are so many cases in which stainless steel and other materials are simply insufficient. Tubing is one of the common titanium mill products, and it is used in a range of products because of its superior strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Let’s […]

Carbon steel forgings are designed and shaped by means of a steel forging process. This type of steel forging comprises an unspecified amount of alloy, without the need of employing any minimum required percentage. Various kinds of alloys found within this steel forging are zirconium, cobalt, chromium, tungsten, titanium, nickel, and a lot more. However, […]

Rolled ring forgings have several types such as stainless steel, alloy, and carbon. This article will explain what is a stainless rolled ring, its advantages, and why it is beneficial to use. If you are debating which forging material to use for your next project, you should consider stainless steel.The many unique properties of stainless […]

Lost-wax casting is one of the oldest known metal-forming techniques, dating back 6,000 years. Even though it’s among the oldest, it is still commonly employed to create jewelry and dental implants. Artists even use it in their works of art. Moreover, precision metal parts are frequently produced in engineering and manufacturing using investment casting.   […]

Have you heard of the metal zirconium? It’s a chemical element that is a strong solid at room temperature. It does not exist in a pure state in nature and requires complex physio-chemical processes to get there. When it is in pure form, it’s a corrosion resistant metal that can handle high water temperatures. In […]
