Global sourcing is used as part of the purchasing process to obtain materials and goods from nations other than one’s own in order to obtain specific benefits. This is owing to the fact that, depending on their level of development, various countries charge different prices for the same products and […]

Inconel is a specially developed metal that can withstand far higher temperature temperatures compared to other metals. Its tensile strength and durability are the features that attract most of its users. While it is often used in the harshest industrial applications, Inconel can be used in other ways. Uses and […]

When compared to castings, forging rings are known to provide more strength and durability. Products are made from four primary forged ring forms. Block, Ring, Cylinder, and Disc are examples of these forms. When it comes to forging common shapes, you should take a strategic and metallurgical approach to raw […]

Heat treating baskets can be an efficient way to handle the parts finishing process. A well-designed basket is effective at keeping parts safe from damage and is often useful for a variety of processes. While the baskets can be made out of a variety of materials, steel fabrications are the […]

The integrity of any project requiring metal work lies on the integrity of the material used. There is a reason super alloys are named “super.” Their strength and stability make them ideal for particular products and alloy castings. If you are looking to create strong and high performing castings for […]

When it comes to projects involving metal parts, the sensitivity of the metal is an important factor. Depending on the project, you have to make sure the metal you are using can withstand what you are needing to use it for. In the case of extreme heat, heat resistant castings […]

The term investment casting is derived from the process of “investing” a pattern with refractory materials. When it comes to investment casting, the process contains several steps. Let’s take a look at the steps that are involved in a castings investment. Construction Since each investment casting destroys the wax pattern […]

In case you’re not familiar, forging refers to the manufacturing process that involves the shaping of a piece of metal with the use of compressive forces. A power hammer or a die delivers the blows. Today, it has become a major worldwide industry and its traditional products include hardware, kitchenware, […]

Ferralloy, Inc. was recently contacted by a large automotive parts manufacturer to design a cast heat treating basket that would replace their current fabricated design. The customer provided Ferralloy, Inc. with their specific requirements such as operating temperature, the need to build in outside pockets for lifting and also to […]

Furnace rolls are just what they sound like. They are specialty rolls that are found in furnaces and used to allow furnaces to operate efficiently. A popular use for these rolls is found in a method called carburizing. Let’s take a look at carburizing and where you can find furnace […]
