A Comprehensive Guide to Selecting Dimensional Inspection Tools
Selecting the right dimensional inspection tool, or gage, is a critical decision in manufacturing and quality control. The wrong choice can lead to inaccurate measurements, wasted resources, non-conforming products, and ultimately, a loss of customer trust. The selection process is a systematic evaluation of the part, the measurement requirement, the production environment, and economic factors. […]
Case Hardening (Carburizing, Nitriding)
This process hardens only the surface of the workpiece, but the inside remains soft. Carburizing adds carbon to the surface of the metal, while Nitriding uses nitrogen gas to form a hard surface. Both methods improve the part’s resistance to rust.
