Casting is the process of forming a substance into a specific shape using a mold. There are numerous reliable and effective metal casting materials that are used for industrial purposes. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular materials used in castings. Gray Iron Gray iron is one […]

Investment castings are one of the oldest and most popular type of metal components. The process to create these parts involves pouring molten metal into a ceramic mold. The metal solidifies within the mold and then the metal casting is broken out. Aircraft, aerospace, oil, road construction, coal mining, steel […]

Titanium can be used for a wide range of metal parts, from tubing to bolts to fasteners. They are essential in both aviation and aerospace. Steel is the primary fastener material used in the aerospace field with the most common titanium alloy used being TI-6Al-4V. Let’s take a look at […]

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 […]

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 […]

Casting can be used to make a wide variety of products. There are also numerous materials that can be cast. One of those materials is alloy. Let’s take a look at some facts as it pertains to alloy and alloy castings. Alloy Facts An alloy is a blend of two […]

There are many different metals that can be used in an industrial setting, but the best is titanium. Titanium fasteners, tubing, and bolts are just a few things the material can be made in to. It can be used to make many different types of parts and has tons of […]

There are numerous different types of forging processes. There is rolled ring forging, which punches a hole in a thick, round piece of metal and then rolls and squeezes the part into a thin ring. There is also closed die forging, which moves two dies towards each other until they […]

Countless types of metals and alloys are used in metalworking. Due to the high number of choices, deciding which type of material to use for your next project can sometimes feel overwhelming and confusing. Today, we will explain the benefits of Inconel alloys to help you figure out which alloy […]
