Furnace rolls are just what they sound like. They are specialty rolls that are found in furnaces and used to allow furnaces to operate efficiently. A popular use for these rolls is found in a method called carburizing. Let’s take a look at carburizing and where you can find furnace […]

In the eyes of the average person, alloys and metals are one in the same. Many people think that an alloy is part of the metal family. That’s not the case. Not only are alloys and metals different, they have very specific uses. Let’s take a look at just a […]

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 […]

Hot and cold forging are two different metal forming processes. While they are performed at significantly different temperatures, they deliver similar results. Several factors are taken into account when deciding between hot and cold forging. Let’s take a look at some of the differences between hot and cold forgings. Hot […]

Steel castings are solid metal objects produced by filling the void within a mold with liquid steel. While cast steel typically has lower mechanical properties than other metals with the same chemical composition, they are better because they can be made into complex shapes in few steps. Let’s take a […]

Rings are typically rolled by a process called ring rolling. Ring rolling is done on rolling mills. They can be produced in configurations ranging from flat, washer-like parts to tall, cylindrical shapes, with heights ranging from less than an inch to more than 9 feet. Let’s take a look at […]

Seamless rolled rings forging involves a number of steps. It plays an important role in the manufacturing of components that are used for machinery. What exactly is the process that results in seamless rings? Well, let’s take a look at the seamless rolled ring forging process. Raw Material Preparing the […]

Your project starts with its materials. And, the better the materials, the better the project. Global sourcing allows Ferralloy to create components that are durable and can withstand wear and tear. Nickel is a great option for many projects. Read to find out a little more about this powerful metal: […]

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. […]

There are several types of metal rolling – all of which allow metal workers to create large and small pieces. And, certain methods of ring rolling provide extremely strong and reliable components for an array of industry needs. But, one of the perks of ring rolling is the variety of […]
