When it comes to types of forging, there are many. Rolled ring forging punches a hole in a thick, round piece of metal and both rolls and squeezes the part into a thin ring. Closed die forging involves moving two dies towards each other until they cover the workpiece and […]

Have you made the decision to purchase a forging? Whether you’re thinking about buying seamless rolled rings forgings, impression die forgings, cold forgings or open die forgings, aside from having basic knowledge about the forging process, you’ll need to consider your ideal design so that you’ll get the best bang […]

Casting offers exceptional capacity for design detail. While there are many types of materials that can be used for castings, steel and iron are two of the more popular options. While cast iron and steel may appear similar on the surface, they are actually more different than you think. Let’s […]

The process of closed die forging involves the use of two or more dies for production or tooling. A CNC machine is required to be highly accurate in order to manufacture these dies. The proper temperature has to be reached when the billet is heated up in order to come […]

Are you aware of the increasing global demand for machined forgings? The fact that the global forging market is expected to grow by leaps and bounds between 2017 to 2025 makes us wonder why machined forgings are preferred in high-precision industries that include automotive, automation, aerospace, fire systems, water circulation, […]

Have you ever wondered how those doughnut-shaped rolled rings are formed? In the production of rolled ring forgings, manufacturers usually use metals or alloys that include aluminum or aluminum alloys, copper or copper alloys, titanium or titanium alloys, tool steel, carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, cobalt alloy or nickel […]

A modern job site is a melting pot of different components and materials, but one of the most common things you’ll find is titanium fasteners. Why is that? Because of how useful titanium is as a material. But why is it so useful? What can it be used for? Hopefully, […]

Sand casting is a method used for casting metal by pouring molten metal into a mold made from condensed sand. It has been used for hundreds of years and remains to be one of the most reliable and versatile methods of creating different castings to this day. While the main […]

Cobalt alloys are a group of cobalt-chromium ‘super-alloys’ consisting of complex carbides in an alloy matrix. They are mostly used for high wear resistance and superior chemical and corrosion performance in hostile environments. Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about cobalt alloys. Chemical Properties There are […]

While both casting investment and die casting entail the process of pouring molten metal into molds to achieve the manufacturer’s desired dimensions, these methods are not the same. To come up with the right choice for your upcoming project, you’ll need to consider the following: Selection of Materials Different casting […]
