Since the inception of CNC milling, a lot of machining experts and even service providers have tried their best to make the move and make their machining operations more automated. However, there are some that are still holding on to manual turning. Not because they don’t have the capacity to bring their own CNC machines but because even with all the technology that comes with CNC milling, there are still certain benefits that only manual turning can offer. Some of these include;         It is more cost-eff......

Different fields in the manufacturing industry rely heavily on machining. Whether you are considering starting a machining business or looking to have components for your next project produced, you need to decide whether you are going for CNC machining or manual machining. Even though CNC milling has eclipsed manual milling with better technology and broader applications, manual machining still holds an important place in the world of machining. Both types of machining can be used in different a......

Cobalt Chrome ASTM F75 or F799By fusing cobalt and chromium, Co-Cr alloy was first discovered by Elwood Haynes in the early 1900s. CoCr stands for Cobalt Chrome and has features of being very resistant to corrosion, temperature and wear, which is usually used for dental implants, gas turbines and orthopedic implants. Co-Cr alloy was used for medical tool manufacturing in the 20th century. The first Co-Cr prosthetic heart valve was implanted in 1960. Moreover, Co-Cr alloy can be used for manufacturing a lot of art......

Domestic appliances have nearly a hundred history and help people with trivial and time consuming housework, creating a more comfortable and beautiful life environment for human beings. Many domestic appliances such as washing machines, bushing, bolts, screws and shafts are made by CNC machining. Automatic lathing can manufacture parts with good precision. Usually, parts with small length are manufactured by using automatic lathing if the quantity is big. For parts with big length such as enclosures and cases, we......

What is high temperature nickel alloy? High temperature nickel alloys are usually called Superalloys or high-performance alloy, which have features of having good surface stability, excellent mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion, oxidation and thermal creep deformation. Superalloys include Hastelloy, Waspaloy, Inconel, Rene alloys, Incoloy, TMS alloys, MP98T and CMSX single crystal alloys. The needs of high-pe......

  Metal alloys which contains copper as the primary composition include brass(zinc added) and bronze(tin added to copper) . Copper alloys have features of having good strength, ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity and great corrosion resistance. The hardest and strongest copper alloy is Beryllium Copper, and it has similar mechanical properties to a lot of high strength steels. However, it has better corrosion resistance.   Brass Common Brass, Naval Brass, Brass astrolabe The main alloying comp......

Aluminum is the third most common element in the Earth’s crust after oxygen and silicon. It has great corrosion resistance and low density, which makes it  important in the transportation, aerospace, electrical and building industries. It can also be used for household items. 25% of aluminum is casted and the other is wrought or alloy aluminum. Cast aluminum MIC6, 319, 356, 383 Aluminum 319 is used for cylinder heads and transmission housings, 356 for cylinder heads and 383 for engine block......

Junying is going to explain how to select the metal for your machining project, focusing on properties, advantages and disadvantages of the metals. Ferrous metals refer to those containing iron such as cast iron, steel, etc. If strength is the most important factor for your project, ferrous metals are your best option. Ductile Cast Iron ASTM 536 Usually, ductile cast iron is used for cast iron pipe, which is used for water and sewer lines. Ductile iron is a kind of metal which is useful in a lot of automot......
