Impro Showcases its Manufacturing Capabilities at CastExpo 2024
March 25th, 2024
The annual Metalcasting Congress, also known as CastExpo, is the most important foundry trade show in North America. Organized by the American Foundry Society, (AFS), the 2024 event takes place at the Baird Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the dates
Drilling into Precision: Machining for Oil Rig Equipment
March 19th, 2024
The goat head that’s installed on the top of a frac tree undergoes a lot of precision machining during its manufacture. As an essential element of a hydraulic fracturing Christmas tree, it provides the mounting locations for the valves that
The Role of 3D Printing in Investment Casting
March 5th, 2024
Investment casting yields accurate metal parts with detailed features, thin walls and smooth surfaces. This is achieved by using wax patterns that replicate the part being made. These patterns can now be made by 3D printing, which saves time and
An Introduction to Swiss Screw Machining
February 27th, 2024
Swiss screw machining is for turning long, cylindrical parts like rods, pins, and screws. It’s a precision process capable of maintaining tight tolerances over long production runs, and it’s often extremely cost-effective. If you need a source for small turned
Materials Matter: Choosing the Right Alloy for Investment Casting
January 30th, 2024
Investment casting works well for complex parts with fine features. Being near-net shape, it minimizes secondary machining, which can lower costs and reduce lead time. It’s not ideal for all metal alloys though. This blog discusses what’s involved in choosing
Future Developments in Hydraulic Orbital Motors
January 18th, 2024
Hydraulic orbital motors are the answer for mobile and industrial applications that need high torque at low speed in a small space. In direct drive applications they save the weight and expense of a gearbox or transmission, they’re also robust,
