Whether it is the construction of bridges, heavy machinery, or simple multi-part components, they require custom bolts for assembly and mechanical joints. A bolt is a mechanical component that has a thread on the external surface with a head at the top, which can be...
When you bend a sheet metal part, its thickness enlarges or the dimensions take a different value. The final size will exceed the outer dimensions of the drawing unless bending is considered. While some would describe this as the material stretching, in reality, it...
Although a sheet metal bracket is not an end-user product, it is critical for connecting components that fix, attach, hold, and support other metal parts. Sometimes brackets also serve aesthetic purposes. Therefore, metal brackets are popular in sheet metal...
Teflon often referred to as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a typical process that is used to coat metal parts to increase their life. It makes them last longer, and resist corrosion. improves functionality, and protects against wear and corrosion. DuPont’s...
The compatibility between the tolerance of individual machined parts is essential in assembly to avoid the gap and interference between them. Designers and manufacturers analyze the cumulative tolerances of parts concerning assembly fit and clearance, called...
