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 […]

Have you heard of the metal zirconium? It’s a chemical element that is a strong solid at room temperature. It does not exist in a pure state in nature and requires complex physio-chemical processes to get there. When it is in pure form, it’s a corrosion resistant metal that can […]

Dedicated to improving, the metal casting industry strives to improve its processes and technologies. But, there is one industrial process that has stood the test of time. Derived from lost-wax casting, castings investment – or investment casting – is still used to produce precise patterns. What is Investment Casting? Investment […]

Forged parts are one of the best and popular types of metal components in the world today. Countless industries rely on forged parts for a wide range of applications. Let’s take a look at some facts about forgings and how you can get forged parts for your next project. How […]

One of the best things about forgings rolled rings is that they can be manufactured by a wide range of materials. The choice of metal is based on the specific application of the rolled ring forging. As a result, it is important to know the specific physical and chemical properties […]

You have your basic metals and alloys – titanium, stainless steel, aluminum and more. And they’re great! But, behind the classics, are some renowned metals and alloys with properties that ensure the integrity of alloy castings. Tantalum is one of those materials. History of Tantalum Scientist found tantalum in 1802 […]

Titanium tubes are classified into two categories, commercially pure and alloys with additives such as aluminum and vanadium. Within each category, there are grades given to the titanium. This blog will go into the different grades of titanium to give you a better idea of what kind of titanium you […]

Forging is the process of shaping metal through the application of force. There are several different types of forging methods, including open die forging. Let’s take a look at what open die forging is, some of its advantages, and who has the best forgings. What Is It? Open die forging […]

Casting is a simple, inexpensive and versatile way of forming aluminum into a wide array of products. Items such as power transmissions, car engine, and even the cap atop the Washington Monument were all produced through the aluminum casting process. Here are some other facts about alloy castings. The Casting […]

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, […]
