Forged rolled rings are used and produced by machine shops, pharmaceutical companies, the nuclear industry, and other sectors. In case you’re wondering how these are formed, the process of rolled ring forging starts with a circular metal preform that’s hollow at the center, resembling the shape of a doughnut. Next, […]

The process of producing forging rings involves a base plate that is ready-made and acquired from the steel manufacturer. In order to meet the exact dimensional requirements for the base plate, the material is hot-rolled and formed into the shape of a ring. If you don’t know much about forged […]

Sand casting is a form of gravity casting where sand is used as the mold material. A sand casting is a relatively inexpensive casting process and can be used for producing either large or small parts. How Sand Castings Are Made The first step in the sand casting process is […]

Unlike other casting techniques, investment casting makes parts from molten metal. This process is also known as lost-wax casting, and has been done for thousands of years. Understanding the basics of investment castings is essential to know when and how to use this method. Let’s start with the basics of […]

The process involved in creating investment castings is so complex that the chances for things to go wrong can result in certain casting defects. Here’s a list of the usual categories of defects in investment castings: Inclusions Non-metallic foreign particles, including slag, that are contained within a casting can result […]

If you’re not already using investment castings, it might be time for you to start. These castings are extremely versatile. They can be big or small and made out of a large range of materials, all while maintaining exceptional accuracy. With benefits like these, it’s no surprise that investment castings […]

It takes many types of people to make the world go around and it takes many types of parts to make any machine work. One of the many ways to make these components is through investment castings. What Is an Investment Casting? Investment casting is a type of manufacturing process […]

The casting process involves the mass production of components in which metals in a molten state are poured or injected into prepared molds where they solidify into solid metal shapes before being sand or shot blasted to their desired shapes. Compared to other methods such as shaping or cutting, complex […]

Radiant tubes are used in systems that require extreme heat above 1,200 °F. The goal of radiant tubes is to transfer heat to the load through irradiation. Heat exchange occurs when the combustion fumes are generated by the burner and then are conveyed through the tube. Let’s take a look […]

A technological process called ring rolling is widely used in various industries that include energy and aerospace because it offers high efficiency, precision, and performance. Furthermore, the demand for rolled rings has been steadily increasing because these components are used in the production of aerospace engine parts, gear sprockets, flanges, […]
