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 […]

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. When it comes to forging, there are two types: closed die and open die. In this blog, we will take a look at closed die forging and the process that goes into it. Creating the Mold […]

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 […]

Heat treating baskets can be an efficient way to handle the parts finishing process. A well-designed basket is effective at keeping parts safe from damage and is often useful for a variety of processes. While the baskets can be made out of a variety of materials, steel fabrications are the […]

When there is a need in the metal working industry for steel forgings or a product that will need to withstand a large amount of pressure and wear, or if a company is in need of a mechanical piece, the process of forging may be required. Most of the parts […]

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 […]

The investment casting process is a metal casting process where a disposable wax replica, or “pattern”, which is identical to the casting desired, is produced from an injection molding type of tool. If you are thinking about using investment casting for your next project, here is some important information. Why […]

If you are in an industry that uses food processing equipment, valve components, power generation equipment, hydroelectric facilities, or furnace parts, chances are that you have heard the term “investment casting”. But what is investment casting? And more importantly, why should you use it?What is the Investment Casting? Investment casting […]

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 […]

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 […]
