Why Do Engineers Choose Aluminum Alloys for Critical Parts?
You see aluminum alloys listed for everything from phone cases to airplanes. You might think of it as just a simple, lightweight metal. This view can lead to choosing the wrong material or process, causing part failure and high costs. The better question is why a component uses it. You find aluminum alloy wherever an […]
Is Your Aluminum Budget Focused on the Wrong Costs?
You need to source an aluminum part and focus on getting the lowest price per kilogram. But the final part costs a fortune after hours of machining and piles of wasted material. This isn’t about the raw material price; it’s about strategy. Your budget and volume determine the best manufacturing path. The goal is balancing […]
Are You Focusing on the Wrong Properties for Your Aluminum Alloy?
You selected an alloy with the best corrosion resistance on the spec sheet. But the part failed from fatigue, costing you time and money and making you question the material data. The true ‘special property’ isn’t just a spec sheet value. It is engineered performance. This is achieved when the forging process aligns the grain […]
