Investment castings, otherwise known as lost-wax casting, makes parts from molten metals. Typically, it is used to make stainless-steel alloys, brass, aluminum, and carbon steel. It is also used to mass produce parts and make small, detail-oriented parts that require a lot of precision. How is an Investment Casting Made? […]

You’re probably familiar with the metalworking process involved in producing quality investment castings. However, you may not be quite certain if the design for your component is ideal for this type of production process. To give you an idea about the main qualities that make it ideal for you to […]

When working with foundries to order the manufactured metal components you need, there may be several options offered to you for your specific piece. To deliver a completely finished and high quality product, Ferralloy offers machined forgings to the customers who require this value added service. Our efficient and established […]

If you want to know more about how seamless rolled rings are produced and the common materials that are used to make them, you’ve come to the right place. The entire process begins with the creation of a preform workpiece via the open die forging method. Through the use of […]

Seamless rolled rings are shaped and bent through the process of ring rolling by using quality and efficient rolling mills. A circular preform of metal is perforated using the open die forging method to create a hollow shape that looks like a donut. Before placing the donut over the idler […]

Countless industries would not be able to function without castings. Formed by pouring a liquid metal into a mold and then allowing it to cool and solidify, these metal components create complex shapes that would be close to impossible to emulate using other methods. While you can create castings using […]

To produce many specific metal components, the metal undergoes certain processes to achieve the shape and quality. For products like investment castings components, it needs to undergo a rigorous process called machining. This process is very complicated and crucial to the quality of the metalwork. You also need to remember […]

One of the best ways to quickly produce quality parts is through investment casting. Investment castings are a great way to create what you need without sacrificing quality. How an Investment Casting is Made The investment casting process can be broken down into very clear steps. First, a special mold […]

There are many different types of forging processes. There is open die forging, closed die forging, and rolled ring forging, to name a few. While all three methods possess their own set of benefits, the specific purpose of this post is to discuss ring rolling. Ring rolling is a hot […]

The process of seamless rolled ring forging involves different types of materials used. The rings may be made of carbon, stainless steel, or alloy. Alloy steel is a steel that contains an additional alloying material aside from carbon to improve the heat treat response or mechanical and physical properties of […]
