Closed die forging usually is precision-machined to achieve net shape or near-net shape finished products. When you use forging, less post-forging operations are needed because near-net shape products are formed and created. Otherwise said, you’ll save a substantial amount of time and effort when you use this type of process. Closed Die Forging Process Basics […]

Over the years, the forging industry has massively evolved. The use of different techniques and processes in forgings gave rise to various applications in construction, agriculture, automotive, machinery, and so much more. Below are the tips you may want to consider in looking for a forging supplier or manufacturer. Guide in Choosing a Forging Manufacturer […]

When it comes to the forging process, there are several different methods. Forgings are a popular way to make the metal components you need for projects that require strong and heat resistant parts. Rolled Ring Rolled ring forging is used to create rings that are very strong, extremely versatile, and cost-effective. These parts are used […]

Since the investment casting involves a complicated process, there’s no shortage of opportunities for some things to go wrong. When certain undesirable irregularities in a metal casting process result in defects, the manufacturer can decide whether these defects are tolerable, repairable or need to be eliminated altogether. However, before a decision is to be made, […]

Some projects require the use of parts that aren’t just unique but are also made with a high degree of design flexibility, then you need to consider investment casting. Investment casting offers applications for various industries including aircraft, aerospace, oil, gas, road construction, coal mining, steel production, steel processing, off-road equipment, heat treating, propane tank, […]

Before anyone can make an informed manufacturing process decision, a clear idea on the project’s design requirements, feasibility to manufacture, and cost has to be established. If your current project requires the production of very intricate components, we wouldn’t be surprised if you planned to use the industrial process called investment casting. After all, it’s […]

Since both investment and sand castings are metal casting methods that have been refined and improved through time, many people assume that there are no notable differences between the two. The truth is, although both create metal parts by pouring liquid metal into three-dimensional molds, each has certain characteristics that are significantly different from the […]

The machined casting process is a critical part of metalworking. Implementing a precise and efficient process holds the ability to create various complex parts in a wide selection of metals for countless industries. Sometimes, castings can be utilized in the exact form that they leave the mold. They often, however, need to be machined for […]

Have you ever heard of the term “smith forging”? Before all the advancements in tools and technology, forging was performed by a smith using an anvil and hammer to produce and create forged metal – hence, the term. Smith forging, commonly known as open die forging, is a process that involves a hammer striking and […]
