We were honored to welcome U.S. Congressman Max Miller to The Federal Metal Company yesterday. As the representative of Ohio’s 7th Congressional District, Congressman Miller understands the vital role #manufacturers play in driving the #economy—especially here in Northeast Ohio. It’s encouraging to engage with elected leaders who truly value #AmericanManufacturing and the people behind it.

Incredible time Saturday night at Der Biergarten in Atlanta, catching up with friends from across the industry before @americanfoundrysociety CastExpo 2025! Great food, better company — and yes, those limited-edition Mr. Fingot socks were absolutely a crowd favorite. Events like this remind us that the best part of this industry will always be the people.

It`s Monday! Meet Rob.
Every great company has its unsung hero. Ours just happens to have a calculator and a really good spreadsheet game. As our CFO, Rob has played an outsized role in Federal Metal’s growth—overseeing the finances of our core business and tacking on exciting new ventures like BAM Metals and FedMet Arkansas.
So naturally, we thought it was time he got his own action figure.

They’ve never read a packing list. They ignore PPE rules. And their productivity is questionable at best. But to us they`re still pretty essential.⠀

Happy #NationalPetDay from the Federal Metal crew (and our very unqualified assistants)! 🐾⠀

Larger hybrid vehicles are turning to #copper rotor motors—and for good reason. Copper’s unmatched conductivity improves motor efficiency, which means better #FuelEconomy and fewer emissions. The result? Lower fuel costs and performance for the movement of goods throughout our economy.⠀

It’s Monday! Meet Kyle.⠀
⠀
You’d be forgiven for thinking our Product Group and Lab Manager plays in a ZZ Top cover band. But alas, he saves his considerable talents for us!⠀
⠀
For 18 years, Kyle has perfected the recipes for dozens of engineering #alloys, ensuring best-in-class quality and #ingot performance, while contributing to the industry through @astmintl and @americanfoundrysociety.⠀
⠀
If you see him at #CastExpo in Atlanta this weekend, say hello—he’s easy to pick out in a crowd!

Chemistry Quiz Time! 🧪⠀
⠀
Both #aluminum and iron are highly reactive with oxygen. So why does aluminum not rust in the same way iron does? Bonus question: what is the term for this particular phenomenon?⠀

Copper makes the world go `round!⠀
⠀
Well, in our eyes it sure does. Seriously, take away all the #copper in the world and just imagine what that looks like.

Did You Know? 🧐⠀
⠀
Fiber optics isn’t the only game in town when it comes to high-speed #data. Thanks to advances in structured wiring, twisted pairs of #copper can now support speeds up to 10 gigabits per second.⠀

Big news from Federal Metal.⠀
⠀
Hydrogen, we respect your work—but it’s time. After 112 years of championing #copper, we’re making it official: we’ve submitted a petition to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) to reassign copper’s atomic number.⠀
⠀
Why? Because copper isn’t just #29 to us—it’s #1 in conductivity, recyclability and the future of the #GreenEconomy.⠀
⠀
Stay tuned. We’ll keep you posted.⠀
