Why Every Engineer Should Be Using CAD
Why Every Engineer Should Be Using CAD CAD is an acronym for Computer-Aided Design. It refers to the method of using computer software to create virtual models of proposed products. There is a variety of CAD software available, each with special features that sometimes make the suitable for a particular application. Capabilities of CAD
Surface Finishes Basics
Surface Finishes Basics Metal surface finishing is essential in part production. No matter how good the finished part is, quality metal surface finishing can only make it better. Surface finishing is also referred to as surface texture, surface roughness, or surface topology. It is the process of altering a metal’s surface by adding, removing, or reshaping. Machinists use metal surface …
Various Aluminum Alloy For Manufacturing
Often chosen for its weight-to-strength ratio, aluminum is one of the most abundant and versatile metals used in manufacturing. In most manufacturing applications, different types of aluminum alloys are chosen because their properties are well-suited to the manufacturing process or the end-use of a component or structure. Aluminum alloys are produced by adding elements such as zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, …
GPT precision manufacturing shop It is worth to remember
Workpiece-tool interaction, when machining aluminum cast alloys results in an abrasive flank wear, influences the shape and the dimensional accuracy as well as the surface integrity of the work piece. Cutting forces in the machining of aluminum alloys are usually low compared to those of ferrous alloys due to their lower mechanical strength, which may generate 70 % lower specific …
About CNC Machined Aluminium
A CNC machine runs on a computer program; it can either be for prototyping or in full item production. Aluminum is the commonly machined material, as it exhibits excellent machinability, and is thus the preferred material in the most manufacturing sector. Aluminum as a material offers some interesting thermal and mechanical properties. Besides, the aluminum metal is relatively easy to …
CNC Machining Vs Die Casting – Which Is Better?
Two of the most popular industrial processes for creating metal parts are die casting and CNC machining. Both processes can even be combined for the best possible finish. However, when it comes to choosing one process over the other, there are several important factors to consider. Two of the most popular industrial processes for creating metal parts are die casting …
How can you improve the machinability of Aluminium
The machine-friendliness of aluminum has made it the number one metal for machining. Its material properties make it easy to mill, drill, cut and punch, while aluminum machined parts can be strong, durable and aesthetically pleasing. All in all, aluminum is the most machinable metal on the market. Despite this, aluminum is far from perfect. Its easy machinability is counteracted …
