Happy Friday! No worries that it`s the 13th ... just don`t walk under that ladder, break a mirror, let a black cat cross your path, spill salt, open an umbrella indoors, step on a crack ...

Did You Know?
Good #metallurgy starts before the metal ever solidifies.
Small changes in tin, zinc or silicon content can dramatically change fluidity, shrink characteristics and how easily the #metal fills thin sections. That’s why #alloy chemistry is often optimized as much for casting performance as for final mechanical properties.

In an era of rising cargo theft and #SupplyChain uncertainty, your peace of mind shouldn`t be up for grabs.
At Federal Metal, we know that our #copper flake and #bronze ingots are the lifeblood of your production. That’s why we’ve doubled down on security. We are proud to utilize @Tive Solo 5G trackers.
From the moment the load leaves our dock to the second it arrives at yours, we have real-time data on location, security and handling. We don’t just ship #metal; we deliver certainty.

It`s Monday! Meet Jeremy.⠀
⠀
Since #ingot doesn`t dump out of the furnace and into shipping crates, we`re lucky we have Jeremy! He`s a Stacker Extraordinaire who`s pushing the limits at more than 54,000 pounds every 3 hours! When he leaves here though, we`re pretty sure his dad duties to a preschooler are more challenging than stacking #metal.

This advertisement appeared in the April 1950 issue of The Saturday Evening Post and features London’s famous Big Ben.⠀
⠀
The bell inside the clock tower was cast in 1858 from bronze, specifically 77% #copper and 23% tin, and weighs more than 13 tons. As the ad itself notes, copper has a way of “ignoring time,” resisting the slow, steady effects of the elements.⠀
⠀
More than a century and a half later, it is still doing exactly what it was designed to do.⠀
⠀
We stumbled on this thanks to our friend John Gross, a thought leader in copper if there ever was one!

It`s Monday, meet Dustin.⠀
⠀
Few things are more rewarding than watching our team members grow! Such is the case with Dustin.⠀
⠀
Dustin joined the FedMet family as a material handler, keeping the ACRs flowing into our Arkansas processing line. Today, he’s a vital part of our maintenance team, ensuring the very equipment he once operated runs like a top.⠀
⠀
No matter the role, Dustin brings an energy that’s nearly impossible to keep up with. We’re thrilled to have him on the team!

At the very top of the Washington Monument sits something most visitors never think about: an 8-inch pyramid of #aluminum. Not gold. Not silver. Aluminum.⠀
⠀
In 1884, that choice was bold. Aluminum cost $1.10 an ounce, nearly twice the price of silver. And the 100-ounce cap was the largest casting of its kind, even displayed at Tiffany before installation. The government paid $225.00 for it.⠀
