Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless nickel plating provides a uniform nickel coating, which offers protection from corrosion, oxidation, and wear on irregular surfaces. The finished part will appear brighter. Thickness starts at .0001” and conforms to ASTM-B733, TYPE IV, SC1, CLASS 1 (default), or AMS-2404 (formerly AMS-C-26074/MIL-C-26074) if specified. For any other nickel plating options, please select “Other” as […]
Stainless Steel Used in 5-Axis CNC Machining
Stainless steel is one of the most popular materials for manufacturing industrial-grade parts. However, for such materials of stainless steel, there is a requirement of high rigidity and strong torque to cut the stainless steel material. The 5-Axis CNC machining service can cut easily through the stainless steel material. Not only this, but the machine […]
Passivation
A colorless coating that improves corrosion resistance for 200 and 300 series and precipitation hardened corrosion-resistant steels by removing free iron from the surface. The coating thickness is negligible at about .0000001”. Conforms to ASTM A967, AMS-QQ-P-35, MIL-STD-171, ASTM A380, or AMS 2700.
5-Axis CNC Machining Service
5-Axis CNC machining service is a manufacturing methodology wherein you can work on the 5-axis of the product simultaneously. With the help of the Computer Numerical Control (CNC), you can develop multiple complex parts with specifications of very high precision. The 5 axes that we will be using throughout the content are the 2 rotational […]
Electropolishing
An electrochemical process that cleans steel parts to reduce corrosion and improve appearance by making the metal brighter. Removes about 0.0001”-0.0025” of the metal and conforms to ASTM B912-02.
Black Oxide
Black oxide is a type of conversion coating for ferrous materials, such as steel and stainless steel, which blackens the top layer of the material. It can be used to reduce reflection and glare, as well as provide some additional corrosion resistance without affecting part dimensions.
CNC Performance Parts
CNC performance parts are highly engineered components which are incorporated with vehicles, especially in high-performance and aftermarket settings. These components are manufactured with the help of CNC machining technology, which provides unbeatable precision, customization, and reliability. One of the major reasons why CNC machining has gained popularity among enthusiasts and racing applications is the ability to make […]
Stainless Steel Melting Point
Contrary to popular belief, melting stainless steel takes more than just putting it in a fire. Depending on the grade, its melting point ranges from 1,370°C to 1,530°C (2,498°F to 2,786°F), meaning that it needs a lot of heat to melt. These temperatures are normally reached in industrial furnaces, such as electric arc or induction […]
How Does Laser Cutting Work?
Laser cutting works by directing a high-powered beam of light into a sheet of material to produce a 2-dimensional profile. In the case of common lasers like CO2 and fiber lasers, the beam is generated inside a resonator that amplifies the light energy until it reaches the desired energy level. The beam is then directed […]
Aluminum vs. Stainless Steel Comparison
Aluminum and stainless steel are two widely used metals, each with distinct properties suited for different applications. So, in this guide, we’ll be giving crucial information about the distinction between stainless steels and aluminum. Feature Aluminum Stainless Steel Weight Lightweight, about one-third the weight of steel Heavier, offers more strength per volume Corrosion Resistance Naturally […]
