Performance and properties are important references when selecting materials for an application, such as yield strength and tensile strength. The mechanical properties of aluminium alloys differ based on their temper, in this article, we’ll introduce the yield strength definition and compare it with tensile strength, please check the aluminum alloy yield strength chart to get the numerical values of the yield strength of aluminum. ......

Bronze and brass are two kinds of copper alloys used from ancient times, they have lots of similarities, but their composition and appearance are quite different. How to tell the difference between brass and bronze, here we are going to show the comparison between brass and bronze, make a proper choice when brass vs bronze. ......

When we speaking of strong metals, the first option we think about usually is steel or titanium. They both have a broad range of alloys with varying alloying elements and amounts, so it’s challenging to determine which type to start with. For deeper understanding of the difference between titanium and steel, we present some points and the titanium and steel comparison chart in the following content. ......

Steel is the structural material of the construction and transportation industry on the earth. Its alloy elements give it many excellent characteristics, and also derive a variety of types. Based on the designation system represented by AISI and SAE, we typically use a four-digit number to name different alloy steels. What we’ll outline in this post is 4130 alloy steel, from its detailed composition and fabrication characteristics, to 4130 steel properties and uses, as well as AISI 4130 steel vs 4140. ......

Holes can be machined on different types of machines through cutting away the unwanted materials, what machining operations need to be executed on a mill? There is a series of g-codes that indicates the movement of tools when cutting a hole on CNC milling machines.
