Precision Engineering in Stainless Steel Forgings Ferralloy, Inc. is supplying a manufacturer of valves to the oil and gas industry with machined stainless steel valve bodies produced  from forgings in 304 grade material.  The company can supply open and closed die forgings in carbon, alloy, and stainless steel materials in […]

Ferralloy, Inc. is producing investment cast, internal valve components for an international Pressure Relief Valve manufacturer in the oil and gas industry. The ‘high lift disc’ components are cast in 17-4 stainless steel, machined, and heat treated to the customer’s drawing specifications and hardness requirements. These investment castings are purchased […]

Material handling baskets, such as heat treating baskets, can have a large impact on the efficiency of the parts finishing processes. A well-designed basket is effective at keeping parts safe from damage. While many manufacturers rely on plastic baskets, steel fabrications for material handling baskets can have several significant benefits. […]

Oil and gas investment casting is used in the transportation, manufacturing, and energy industries for refining, storing, and transferring natural gas and petroleum products. Components applied in the oil and gas industry must be long-lasting and composed of materials that are resistant to chemical and environmental deterioration.  Cobalt-based alloys, stainless […]

The word “casting” is used to define or refer to the part made by the machine casting process, which dates back more than 5,000 years ago. When it comes to history, this process is performed to make significant and complex metal components that would have been difficult when using the […]

When it comes to fasteners, they can be made out of a variety of different materials. The material chosen depends on the use as the different materials react differently to different factors in the environment. While titanium is one of the popular materials used to make fasteners, let’s take a […]

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 […]

Seamless rings are created through a process called ring rolling, which uses a machine called a rolling mill. When it comes to the making of the seamless rolled ring, many different materials can be used. Let’s take a look at some of the different materials used to make seamless rolled […]

Forged steel is comprised of an alloy of carbon and iron. It is compressed under extreme pressure to make a very hard and strong substance. Forged steel is used to create all types of materials in many different industries. Let’s take a look at some facts about steel forgings, including […]

While closed die forging is applied for almost all the metal materials, in actual production, only part of the materials are used for the different characteristics. The material used is one of the main factors that affect the cost of the forgings. Let’s take a look at some of the […]
