How to Select Different Types of Lathes for Machining Metal Parts
Here’s a breakdown of how to select different types of lathes for machining metal parts, focusing on key selection criteria: Key Selection Criteria: Part Size & Geometry: Diameter & Length: Dictate the required “swing over bed” (max workpiece diameter) and “distance between centers” (max workpiece length). Complexity: Simple cylindrical shapes vs. complex contours, tapers, threads, grooves, or […]
Applications of Aluminum Casting
Automotive & aerospace: Cast aluminum alloys are very vital when used in reducing the overall weight of vehicles. It is used to create complex parts such as engine blocks and cylinder heads, gearbox housings, airframe brackets, and suspension components. Thanks to its ability to low tensile strength, parts such as transmission housings, which need to […]
