5052 vs 6061 aluminum What can one do when presented with two metals with good corrosion resistance, but has to trade off between weldability, strength, and machinability? That’s the case for which we have to think critically while making a comparison of 5052 vs 6061...
Stainless steel indentation Stainless steel is mainly used for its corrosion resistance, but its durability and hardness make it an extremely versatile material. Hardness of stainless steel determines many of its potential applications. Stainless steel bars Steel...
Polycarbonate Machining Guide Have you ever thought about how to make lightweight, strong and clear parts for different applications? The answer is polycarbonate machining. This process turns polycarbonate, a tough thermoplastic, into precise parts for various...
Annealing steel is a process that involves heating steel to a high temperature and allowing it to cool in a specific manner to improve its ductility and reduce hardness. Annealing steel has become a crucial processing procedure, used across various industries to...
Brass Anodizing Brass anodizing is all about improving the surface of brass. It is an electrochemical process. It creates a thin oxide layer that protects the metal and gives it a better look and feel. You might hear this layer called an anodized coating. In this...
