Ever wonder where that beer bottle comes from? These molds can only cast glass so many times before we get our hands on them for tomorrow`s #ingot. From the Past. For the Future indeed.
Happy Friday!

#Aluminum batteries? Still in the research phase, but definitely not science fiction. And the molten salt electrolyte even inhibits dendrite formation.⠀

It was a year ago today ...
Wow, time really DOES fly when you`re having fun! Thanks to all our customers, vendors and team members who made this first year such a resounding success. We look forward to many more years in our new #ColumbiaPennsylvania home!

It’s Monday! Meet Paul.⠀
⠀
Honestly, Paul is our resident McGuyver (for those old enough to get the reference). If it’s broke, he fixes it. If it ain’t broke, well, he can probably make it even better anyway. Super dedicated to his family, we`re lucky to have Paul in the Federal Metal family.

A manufacturer, a #foundry and 3D-printing expert ... achieved a casting conversion in just seven weeks. Nope! This is definitely not a joke. Read the whole story in this great article from @americanfoundrysociety publication Casting Source.⠀

Ken and Dave Henderson, and Ryan Harrison, thoroughly enjoyed hosting Frank Moore from Cohen at the #Browns v Bengals game on Sunday. Ken and Dave Henderson, and Ryan Harrison, thoroughly enjoyed the outcome of said game. Frank Moore did not. (hint: he`s the guy in the Bengals hat ... hopefully they`ll keep sending us #metal anyway!)

According to a report commissioned by the Aluminum Association, the #aluminum industry contributes about $176.32 billion in total to the U.S. economy, or 0.73 percent of GDP, and impacts firms in 523 sectors through its production and distribution linkages.⠀

Our PSA® 020 pre-melt specification aluminum is helping to meet this fast growing demand.

It`s Monday! Meet Josh.⠀
⠀
Josh joined the Federal Metal team about a year ago as a lab tech in our Columbia, PA plant. And he fit in right away—ask him his favorite sports team and he`ll quickly reply E-A-G-L-E-S!⠀
⠀
Hailing from a big family of his own (Josh has 3 brothers AND 3 sisters), we`re thrilled to have him as part of our big family as well.

Look around!⠀

According to the @americanfoundrysociety, you are rarely more than 10 feet from some kind of #metal casting in the United States as nearly 90 percent of all manufactured goods contain one.⠀
