Material handling baskets, such as heat treating baskets, can have a large impact on the efficiency of the parts finishing processes. A well-designed basket is effective at keeping parts safe from damage. While many manufacturers rely on plastic baskets, steel fabrications for material handling baskets can have several significant benefits. […]

There are a variety of applications where heat resistant castings are needed. Especially when temperatures reach extremely high levels, making sure that components in the equipment being used will withstand the circumstances is important in order to ensure the manufacturing process is successfully accomplished. What kind of applications benefit from […]

Furnace rolls work in some of the harshest environments. They will typically see temperatures in excess of 500 degrees Fahrenheit for years at a time. Materials used are made to withstand this criteria, so they are also difficult to machine. Let’s take a look at some of the different types […]

When it comes to ring rolled forgings, there is a lot you need to know. How are they made? What are they made from? Where can I find them in the real world? Can they help me with my next project? All of these questions and more can be answered […]

The heat-treating process is one of the most important steps in preparing components to be used on job sites. One crucial piece of the process is the heat treating baskets. These baskets are often overlooked but play arguably the most important part of the process. What is a Heat-Treating Basket? […]

When it comes to heat treating your parts, a crucial part of the process is using a heat treating basket to expose the parts to extreme conditions. When it comes to heat treating baskets, there are a wide variety of types. Typically, even the strongest baskets that have previously been […]

Investment casting, otherwise known as a lost wax casting, is one of the oldest metal-forming processes that is still used as of this date. Approximately 5,000 years ago, investment castings started with a basic beeswax-formed pattern. Today, it involves highly complicated processes and technologies using refractory materials and specialized alloys. […]

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 […]

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 […]

When it comes to casting, there are primarily two popular methods. Pressure casting, which uses gas or air pressure to help facilitate the flow of material into the casting and gravity fed casting uses the natural force of gravity to help the material flow where it needs to. Castings are […]
