How Are Aluminum Forgings Actually Made?
Many industries need strong, lightweight metal parts. But casting or machining alone can’t always deliver the best strength or complex shapes. Forging offers a powerful alternative. Aluminum forgings are made by applying immense pressure to solid aluminum, often heated, to shape it using hammers or presses with specialized dies. This process refines the grain structure, […]
What is an alloy aluminum tube pipe?
Confused by what makes an aluminum tube an "alloy" tube or pipe? Selecting the wrong type can lead to failure in your application. It’s aluminum intentionally mixed with other elements. An alloy aluminum tube or pipe is a hollow cylindrical product made from aluminum that has been combined with other elements like copper, magnesium, silicon, […]
What is an aircraft grade aluminum sheet?
Ever wondered what makes a simple sheet of aluminum strong enough to fly? Not all aluminum is created equal, especially when it comes to aviation. An aircraft-grade aluminum sheet is a specialized material. An aircraft-grade aluminum sheet is a high-purity aluminum alloy, manufactured and certified to meet stringent aerospace specifications for strength, fatigue resistance, corrosion […]
Is aluminum tubing bendable?
Planning a project with aluminum tubing but worried it might crack or kink when you try to shape it? Choosing the wrong bending technique or alloy can ruin your material. Yes, aluminum tubing is very often bendable, but success depends on key factors. Yes, aluminum tubing is generally bendable, especially common alloys like 6061 and […]
