Shielded metal arc welding(SMAW), is a fusion arc welding process that coalesces two or more metals together. This coalescence produces the metallurgical bonds required to create a robust weld. In shielded metal arc welding, arc welding indicates SMAW employs an electric arc to heat the metal above its melting point to achieve this coalescence. Generally, …
Aluminum polishing is the process of improving the appearance and smoothness of aluminum surfaces by removing imperfections, scratches, oxidation, and other blemishes. Polishing can give the aluminum a mirror finish that looks brand new, especially when it loses its shine and becomes dull or tarnished. This is because aluminum is a porous, non-ferrous metal that …

What is metal laser cutting? In the machining industry, metal laser cutting is an important subtractive manufacturing process that involves using a high-powered laser beam to cut through different types of metals with precision and accuracy. The laser beam is focused on the material, melting or vaporizing it and creating a clean and precise cut. …
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) develops and publishes worldwide standards for products, services, and systems to ensure quality, safety, and efficiency. ISO 286 is an ISO standard that specifies tolerance grades for holes and shafts and establishes a system for tolerances on fits. Understanding ISO 286 is important for engineers and manufacturers to properly …
Laser engraving is an excellent process for high-quality product finishing and branding. It involves using a laser beam to produce permanent, high-quality markings on material surfaces. The laser beam vaporizes the material, creating indentations or markings on its surface. Laser engraving can be applied to various materials like aluminum. Aluminum is an ideal candidate for …

Induction hardening is a heat treatment process in which metal parts with sufficient carbon content are rapidly heated to a high temperature by electromagnetic induction and immediately cooled. It is usually used for various steel and steel alloys to increase mechanical properties in a specific area, such as surface hardness, fatigue strength, and wear resistance. …
As the need for customization and personalization grows, low-volume production is becoming an important manufacturing strategy for companies of all sizes. Low-volume production involves producing 50 to 100,000 parts, bridging one-off prototyping and full-volume production. It offers flexibility to the design process, reduces risk, shortens time-to-market, and frequently creates possibilities to save money on manufacturing costs. This …

When traditional machining methods touch their limits, manufacturers frequently turn to electrical discharge machining (EDM). EDM is a popular non-traditional machining process that uses electrical sparks to erode material and create precise shapes in hard materials. This process does not necessitate or utilize mechanical force to eliminate surplus material. EDM is widely used in the …
