Aluminum Alloys: Is Your Part Safe in Its Operating Environment?
You carefully select an aluminum alloy known for its corrosion resistance1. Yet, the finished part fails unexpectedly in the field, not from rust, but from a sudden crack. This costs you money and damages your credibility. Beyond surface rust, the real danger is when the environment and stress combine to create internal cracks. A forged […]
Aluminum Alloys: Does Your Manufacturing Process Create Strength or Just a Shape?
You bought a block of high-grade aluminum and machined it into a perfect part. But it failed in service, cracking under stress. You’re left holding a useless part, facing project delays and costly rework. Your manufacturing choice is critical. Machining simply carves a shape from a block, exposing its existing grain structure. Forging, however, is […]
Aluminum Alloys: Are You Asking for the Right Mechanical Properties?
You specified a high-strength aluminum alloy for a critical part, but it still failed under load. This unexpected failure wastes your time, costs you money, and puts your reputation at risk. The most critical mechanical demand is often directional strength. Forged parts allow us to align the metal’s internal grain flow with the path of […]
