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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Unlike other casting techniques, investment casting makes parts from molten metal. This process is also known as lost-wax casting, and has been done for thousands of years. Understanding the basics of investment castings is essential to know when and how to use this method. Let’s start with the basics of […]

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 […]

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 […]

Investment castings can be used to make a wide range of products and prototypes. It’s important when using investment castings to make your product or prototype to use the right materials. Aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, steel, and superalloys are all quality materials used. Let’s take a deeper look into each […]

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 […]

Steel forging involves the heating, deforming, and polishing of steel to create a durable and precise material. These materials are created by forcing materials into customized shapes, either by the die press surrounding a piece of metal or forcing such metal into custom-built patterns. Steel forgings have a broad range […]
