3 Ways That Temperature Affects Die Cast Parts

Posted on 9 September 2019

Temperature control during die casting is a significant issue that fabricators have to deal with. While all metals get hot when subjected to heat, the rate of heat rise depends on the type of metal as well as adherence to die casting standards. If you want to produce high-quality die-casted products, then understanding how temperature affects metals is critical. This article highlights the effects of temperature on the die casting process.

The Different Materials You Can Utilise For Powder Coating

Posted on 2 October 2018

Powder coating is steadily becoming a popular finish as more people are looking for an alternative to paint. A good number of paints contain volatile organic compounds, which are hazardous to the environment and harmful to your health. Since the materials that coat the surfaces do not consist of these VOCs, powder coating is increasingly becoming recognised as a safe alternative to paint. However just as there is a myriad of types of paint, there are also multiple kinds of powders that you can use for the powder coating. [Read More]

The Process Of Stainless Steel Fabrication

Posted on 26 March 2018

Stainless steel is made of essential elements which include chromium, silicon, iron ore, nickel, carbon, nitrogen and manganese. The exceptional properties of the final alloy are arrived at by varying the quantities of the above elements. Stainless steel is notable for its excellent corrosion resistance, which depends on the amount of chromium in the alloy. Stainless steel is highly versatile, so many stainless steel fabricating methods can be applied. The following are the standard stainless steel fabricating techniques: [Read More]

Plastics, Metals and More: Your Guide to Manufacturing Materials

Hey, James here! My family's been selling raw materials to manufacturers for generations, but a few years ago, our business hit a slump. That's when I realised that, despite knowing a lot about the materials themselves, we didn't know enough about our clients' needs. Since then, I've learned so much about the advantages and disadvantages of different processing materials across all industries. If you're struggling to choose between metal, plastic, glass and any other material for your manufacturing endeavour, check out the tips, tricks and guides on my blog. I hope you'll find them useful when it comes to making a decision!
