  • RGM-Tech Talk: Ultrasonic Testing Ever wondered how we ensure flawlessness in our steel shafts? Introducing Ultrasonic Testing – a non-destructive technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws with precision. At Round Ground Metals, this meticulous process is instrumental in guaranteeing the structural integrity of our round bar steel shafts. Want to explore how UT testing can help your process? Find us at RGMetals.com, give us a call 630-539-5300, or reply to this email. You can read the article linked in the comments below to see our recent investment into UT/Eddy current testing.

  • RGM-Tech Talk: Grinding Grinding of long bars is typically done centerless. Due to the long lengths (over 6 feet) bars must feed through the machine center. A centerless grinder has a grinding wheel (the abrasive), regulating wheel and a support. Since grinding is a rigid process, very accurate tolerances and surface finishes are produced. RGM has grinding capabilities from 0.1875" to12" in diameter, and can hold tolerances as tight as 0.0004”.

  • A huge thank you to Arianna Vazquez for all your hard work this summer! Wishing you every success back at Saint Mary’s! #InternSpotlight #TeamRGM

    Last week, I wrapped up my summer internship at Round Ground Metals, Inc. I am grateful for my opportunity to experience office life and give support on day to day operations. I worked with many departments including Production Planning, Shipping and Receiving, Purchasing, and Pricing. No matter which one I assisted, I learned that one job is not done without the help of another. At RGM, it is all about teamwork to reach the high quality standards of products. While I was assisting in more general business based tasks, I had the chance to help prepare the company for an audit. I contributed by getting the vendor certifications up to date and organizing paper trials that would soon be looked at for correct operations. I am headed back to Saint Mary’s with a better knowledge of business, and I look forward to using my experience towards my education!
