To create the high quality and durable steel forgings ordered by our customers, Ferralloy employs different processes depending on the component specifications. One of these processes, Forging, can be subdivided into more complex processes that are utilized according to what the metal piece will need to become. What are the […]

Investment casting is one of the oldest manufacturing processes. It dates back thousands of years and is used to make pipe fittings, turbine blades, armament parts, lock parts, hand tools, and even jewelry. They can be made using a wide variety of metals. Those include aluminum alloys, bronze alloys, magnesium […]

Ring rolling is a forging process used to make rings for different types of projects. Let’s take a deeper look at the rolled ring process as well as why you should use ring rolled parts for your next project. How It’s Formed Ring rolling is a forming process for the […]

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. One the materials that can be forged is steel. Forged components are found in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, agricultural, and aerospace. Let’s take a look at some of the industries steel forgings are […]

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 […]

Forging is manufacturing process where metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed under great pressure into high strength parts known as forgings. Usually, the process is performed hot by preheating the metal to the desired temperature before it is worked. Let’s take a look at how forging compares to other methods […]

Rolling mills may be classified according to the number and arrangement of the rolls. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of rolling mills used in ring rolling. Two High Rolling Mills Two high rolling mills can be broken into two subcategories, reversing mill and non-reversing mill. […]

When it comes to castings investment, many different materials can be used. The type of material used to make the casting largely depends on what the casting is being used for. Some materials work better under extreme temperatures, while some have more give to them. Let’s take a look at […]

Rolled ring forging is a process where metal is formed into a ring shape. Rolled ring forging is used in a number of sectors, from the nuclear industry to machine shops to pharmaceutical companies. It is popular because of its many advantages. Let’s take a look at some of the […]

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 […]
