Foundries are responsible for our current standard of living and industrial development, but most of us know next to nothing about them. So what is a foundry? Foundry Definition In simplified terms, a foundry is a factory where castings are produced by melting metal, pouring
Ductile iron – also referred to as spheroidal or nodular iron – is actually a group of irons that exhibit high strength, flexibility, durability and elasticity due to their unique microstructure. Cast ductile iron normally contains over 3 percent carbon; it can be bent, twisted or deformed without fracturing.
International standards do not translate, metal-for-metal, the way words might translate.
Each type of bollard has its own important, unique purpose.
Is carbon steel better than mild steel? Trick question!
Cast steels can be produced with a wide range of properties. The physical properties of cast steel change significantly depending on chemical composition and heat treatment.
The solvent in wet paint keeps all the other components in suspended liquid form. In contrast, powder coating is applied as a dry powder.
Crash barriers are tested to stop vehicle incursion. Different types of incursion have led to two main testing standards.
Bollards can be chosen to complement the landscape or architecture, adding a sculptural touch.
Save yourself time, money, and stress by finding the right method for your bollard installation.
Lighting can be one of the easiest yet most impactful ways to boost the mood of a landscape.
When choosing between Jersey barriers and bollards, it’s important to consider the speed, type of traffic, and likely crash pattern.
One of the major distinctions in specialization is whether foundries work with ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, or both.
The forging process can produce parts with superb mechanical properties with minimum waste.
Stainless steels are highly corrosion resistant—however, stainless steel applications can still remain at risk to surface damage.
To understand why stainless steel is rust-resistant, and how this resistance breaks down, it is helpful to understand how these alloys are different than other steels.
Aluminum contributes to more than 8% of the earth’s core mass. However, it is difficult to refine compared to other metals, such as iron.
Judging by the name, you might assume that stainless steel never stains—but you’d be wrong. Stainless steel stains less easily than other iron-based metals, but it’s not literally “stainless”. Just like standard steel, stainless can get marked up by fingerprints and grease, develop discoloration, and
Steel comes in many grades, specifications, shapes, and finishes—the World Steel Association lists over 3,500 different grades of steel, each with unique properties. The various types mean that steel can by widely used in infrastructure, appliances, vehicles, wind turbines, and many more applications. Optimizing
Wherever people and cars are in close proximity, traffic safety is of heightened concern. Near playgrounds and schools, in parking lots and multiuse areas, aggressive driving is a safety risk for pedestrians. Speed reduction is one way to protect people in these areas. Slower traffic speeds
