How Do You Choose the Right Aluminum for Your Project?
Comparing aluminum spec sheets is confusing. A wrong choice leads to project delays and costly failures, making you question your entire material selection process. The key isn’t just choosing between alloys like 6061 or 7075. The manufacturing process is more critical. A component forged from a standard alloy often outperforms a ‘stronger’ alloy in a […]
Why Questioning How Aluminum Tubes Are Made Is So Important?
You need a durable aluminum tube for a high-pressure or critical structural part. You assume all tubes are made equal, risking a component failure due to hidden weaknesses in the manufacturing process. Most aluminum tubes1 are extruded, an efficient but compromising process. For ultimate reliability, the best "tube" isn’t a tube at all—it’s a component […]
Why Is Looking Beyond High-Strength Aluminum Plate So Important?
You specify a high-strength aluminum plate for a critical component, but you worry about its reliability. A part failing because its strength was only good in one direction is a risk you can’t afford. The strongest aluminum plate is typically 70751, but its strength is directional. The ultimate solution is a forged disc, which delivers […]
