Investment casting is one of the most popular methods used for creating metal parts that have countless applications across a variety of industries. Also called lost-wax casting or precision casting, this expendable mold process can produce complex components with excellent surface qualities and accuracy in a broad range of materials […]

Investment casting and sand casting are means of producing metal parts by pouring molten metal into three-dimensional molds. Although the methods are of thousand years old, both castings have been advanced over the years to decrease the percentage of metal used and minimize any extensive finishing and machining required. However, […]

The investment casting process is a metal casting process where a disposable wax replica, or “pattern”, which is identical to the casting desired, is produced from an injection molding type of tool. If you are thinking about using investment casting for your next project, here is some important information. Why […]

Investment casting is a manufacturing process in which a wax pattern is coated with a refractory ceramic material. It is one of the first forms of metalworking and is still popular today for many reasons. There are more benefits to investment casting than other metalworking techniques. Here are just a […]

If you have a project that requires unique components, investment castings may be the way to go. With a high degree of design flexibility, investing castings offer applications for an array of industries. But, how do you make investment castings? One popular method is a gravity fed process. How Do […]

Investment casting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes. It dates back thousands of years and is used to make pipe fittings, turbine blades, armament parts, lock parts, hand tools, and even jewelry. They can be made using a wide variety of metals. Those include aluminum alloys, bronze alloys, magnesium […]

Anyone who’s in the metalworking industry knows how important the casting process is. In case you’re not familiar, this allows the creation of a wide variety of complex metal components and an equally broad selection of metal types for various industries across the globe. In some cases, these castings can […]

There are several types of metal rolling – all of which allow metal workers to create large and small pieces. And, certain methods of ring rolling provide extremely strong and reliable components for an array of industry needs. But, one of the perks of ring rolling is the variety of […]

The process that’s involved in forging seamless rings produces components that feature toughness, strength, as well as fatigue resistance through its contoured grain flow. If you’re not familiar with this process, it starts with the starting stock of the desired material that’s being cut to size before they’re being rounded […]

Manufacturers use different types of forging processes in order to create the metal products their clients require. The forging process has four main types including impression die forging, cold forging, open die forging, and seamless rolled ring forging. Take a closer look at each one of them here: The Main […]
