A large manufacturer of industrial motors requested Ferralloy, Inc. to redesign an internal motor component, so as to eliminate a large portion of the machining required to finish it.By utilizing the investment casting process, the company was able to reduce the weight of the casting and actually ‘cast in’ a few features that were machined […]

Die casting, and investment casting are 2 of the foremost important types of casting. Die casting is a method wherein molten metal is created and formed into a mold cavity by way of enforcing high pressure. On the other side, investment casting is a process that involves the injection of wax into the aluminum cavity. […]

Plaster mold castings are machined castings that combine gypsum and enhancing compounds to create a mold. A pure plaster is not very strong; therefore, a combination of plaster and additives are used to enhance castability, permeability, dry strength, and green strength. For instance, magnesium oxide or talc is sometimes added to reduce setting time and […]

Investment casting is one of the first and most common types of metal components. The procedure to create these components involves pouring molten metal into a ceramic mold. The metal solidifies within the mold, and then the metal casting is broken out. Industries that focus on food equipment, railroad, heat treating, steel production and processing, […]

There are several types of machined castings and the less discussed methods are continuous and lost foam casting. Both have complicated technological processes and complex technical characteristics. Here are the facts on the two types of castings. Why Choose These Types of Castings Continuous Casting It is a state-of-the-art casting method that involves the continuous […]

Casting is quite an ancient process compared to forging. It was a technical advancement when swords were forged rather than just cast and sharpened. However, casting – especially machined castings – is still preferred when you have very large cross-sections for which forging would require an enormous amount of force. Both forging and machined castings […]

A process used widely and performed to the highest level by Ferralloy is seamless rolled ring forging. It plays an important role in the manufacturing of certain components. Forging is a method of manufacturing inherently stronger components for machinery. When apparatuses are needed to develop wind turbines or high-quality gears are required for mechanical parts, […]

When it comes to obtaining the parts you need for a product, there are a variety of manufacturing techniques available. However, it’s vital to understand which ones give the most pleasing results at the best prices with so many options. Investment casting is a process that has been used for centuries, and it is used […]

Machined castings are necessary if you require one-of-a-kind metal cast parts. Castings aren’t usually perfect right out of the mold. Machining allows us to customize your casting to fit your specific requirements. Whatever machining method you require for your project, we have advanced equipment to get the job done. Why Machine Castings? The Process of […]

In product condition processes, shock resistance testing is used to assess the impact of sudden acceleration due to the collision, drop, and explosion. Companies focused on castings investment and forging perform this test to develop products that can withstand harsh military, transportation, and industrial environments. What You Need to Know About Shock Resistance Testing Simulate […]
