Why Is a Custom Forged Aluminum Disc a Better Starting Point?
Buying a large, solid block of aluminum for your CNC machine feels wasteful. You know a huge portion of that expensive material will end up as metal chips on the floor. A custom forged disc is not raw material; it’s a manufacturing head start. The true value is in the machining you don’t have to […]
How Do You Choose the Right Aerospace Aluminum Alloy?
Choosing an aerospace alloy1 from a spec sheet is a high-stakes decision. A material failure isn’t an option, putting immense pressure on your selection process and risking catastrophic consequences. The selection is not about the alloy with the highest strength, but the process with the highest reliability. True airworthiness is achieved through a certified, forged […]
How Do You Truly Understand Aluminum Alloys?
You see alloy numbers like 6061 and 7075 on a spec sheet. But these numbers don’t tell the whole story, and choosing based on them alone can lead to unexpected failures. An alloy’s name, like 7075, is only its potential. The manufacturing process—casting, extruding, or forging—determines its actual performance. Forging is what makes the datasheet’s […]
