metalworking

In the metalworking world, there are a variety of different materials that can be used to create forged parts. Inconel, cobalt alloys, titanium, nickel, and steel are just a few of the countless forging materials that you can utilize for your next project. Which one you choose all depends on […]

When it comes to metal parts, only a few types of components compare to castings. Castings can be produced with fine detail, thin walls, excellent “as-cast” surface finish, shape into external or internal features, and near-net shapes. Furthermore, cast parts allow customers to money thanks to the minimal use of […]

Forgings and castings are two very different manufacturing methods, both resulting in quality materials. But, why do we forge some products rather than casting them and vice versa? Some products reach their ultimate potential with varying methods. Here’s why forged rolled rings require forging rather than casting: What’s the Difference […]

Heat treatment occurs when a metal is heated and then cooled in order to change its shape and structure. The temperature metals are heated to and the rate of cooling after heat treatment can significantly change steel castings’ properties. The most common reasons metals undergo heat treatment are to improve […]

Corrosion is one of the biggest and most common problems faced by industries using forged materials. To avoid this concern, manufacturers ventured into using Inconel alloys. It turned out to be useful and effective. Hence, Inconel alloys are still widely used by forging industries to produce quality and oxidation-resistant end […]

Are you thinking about using cobalt alloys for your next project? If you are, then there are a few things that you should learn about this extremely advantageous metal. Keep reading to learn 7 interesting facts that you need to know about cobalt alloys. 7 Facts About Cobalt Alloys It […]

Cobalt alloys are metals having a cobalt base that has been alloyed with other elements, including chromium, tungsten, nickel, and iron. They, like nickel-based alloys, are employed in harsh conditions such as high temperatures and acids. Cobalt-based alloys are known for their exceptional corrosion resistance. All About Cobalt Alloys What […]

When working with foundries to order the manufactured metal components you need, there may be several options offered to you for your specific piece. To deliver a completely finished and high quality product, Ferralloy offers machined forgings to the customers who require this value added service. Our efficient and established […]

Investment castings, which are often referred to as lost-wax castings, are metal parts that are produced by the investment casting process. This expendable mold process and the components that it produces is extremely popular for countless applications in numerous industries. This is largely due to the fact that the investment […]

You need to understand the significance of the casting process as a part of metalworking before you can properly appreciate the beauty of machined castings. This process enables the production of a wide range of complicated metal components in a wide range of metals for a variety of industries. Although […]
