✔️Achieving structural integrity ✔️ Optimizing toughness ✔️Enabling size versatility These are the advantages of a forged ring! Forging produces rings with controlled grain flow, which gives strength and resistance to impact and fatigue not found in rings torch cut from plate or rolled and welded.

Gray cast iron flakes refer to the graphite flakes that are found within the microstructure of gray cast iron. These flakes give gray cast iron its characteristic appearance and name, as they create a gray color on the fracture surfaces of the material. Here’s a bit more detail about these flakes: #Graphite_Flakes: The graphite in gray cast iron exists in the form of flakes. These flakes are three-dimensional structures that form during the solidification process of the cast iron. #Microstructure_Impact: The presence of graphite flakes affects the mechanical properties of gray cast iron. The size and shape of these flakes can influence the strength and brittleness of the material2. Machinability: The graphite flakes make gray cast iron easily machinable because they act as stress concentrators, allowing the material to break easily along the flakes, which is beneficial during machining processes. #Thermal_Conductivity: Gray cast iron is known for its high thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, partly due to the graphite flakes. This makes it suitable for applications like cast iron cookware and disc brake rotors.

When machining copper, it is essential to constantly monitor the concentration of the cutting fluid (10—15%). The surface of copper is particularly susceptible to oxidation, thus maintaining the cleanliness of the surface at all times is of utmost importance. #cncmachining #copper #coppermachining

What's with the color of this steel? This is copper-coated A286 steel. The copper coating improves the steel malleability, making it easier to form parts. In addition, copper is a better conductor of heat than steel, which means it is ideal for use in warm forming. At Fastco, we have one machine with a heater that allows us to warm form. Warm forming allows for the same tight tolerancing as cold forming while gaining malleability. The copper coating can be stripped after forming for appearance purposes.
