A topnotch supplying and counseling service provider of refractory metal products
-
Annealing: The process by which steel is heated and then cooled to improve its formability and make its surface more durable.
-
Anodizing: A finishing technique that electrically converts the surface of raw aluminum to metal oxide to form a very hard, non-corrosive surface.
-
ANSI: The American National Standards Institute. Items with an ANSI number meet ANSI standards.
-
ASME: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Products with an ASME number meet ASME standards.
-
ASTM: Officially named ASTM International, this organization was originally known as the American Society for Testing and Materials, but it has evolved into an international standards organization and ANSI has taken charge of United States standards. An ASTM number on one of our products means that it complies with their standards.
-
Auxiliary Operations: Extra operations besides main stamping, extruding or tube forming process, such as punching, drilling, embossing, notching, cutoff and cut-to-length. ge of United States standards. An ASTM number on one of our products means that it complies with their standards.
-
Chamfer: A technique that bevels the cut end of a metal tube. ength.
-
CNC Milling: CNC is short for Computer Numerical Control-it refers to a computer "controller" that reads instructions and drives the machine tool. CNC's are able to perform precision cuts reliably in machine shop settings. Most machine shops would have CNC lathes, CNC routers, CNC milling machines, etc.
-
CNC Sheet Metal Punching£º CNC Sheet metal punching in metal fabrication is the process of using a machine to press a shape through a sheet of metal and into a die to create the desired shape in the metal.
-
CNC Turning£º Turning is a machining process in which a cutting tool, typically a non-rotary tool bit, describes a helical toolpath by moving more or less linearly while the workpiece rotates. The tool's axes of movement may be literally a straight line, or they may be along some set of curves or angles, but they are essentially linear.
-
Cold-Rolling (CR): Rolling metal materials without first reheating it. This process reduces thickness of the materials, produces a smoother surface and makes it easier to machine.
-
Corrosion: It indicates the deterioration of a metallic material due to its chemical reaction with the environment and usually its subsequent oxidation in a chemical reaction with water and/or oxygen.
-
Curved tube: A metal tube curved to the desired degree and radius. Also called an elbow. in a chemical reaction with water and/or oxygen.
-
Cutting: The action of cutting something .
-
Diamagnetism: The property of an object which causes it to create a magnetic field in opposition of an externally applied magnetic field, thus causing a repulsive effect.
-
DIN: Deutsches Institut f¨¹r Normung, which in English is the German Institute for Standardization.
-
Ductile, Ductility : A physical quality ascribed to a metal that will permit plastic elongation (wire drawing) without fracturing.
-
Ear: Protruding "bumps" fabricated on a tube to allow engagement with mating plastic parts.
-
Engineering Strength: Also known as yield strength, engineering strength is defined as the stress at which a predetermined amount of permanent deformation occurs. However, once the engineering strength has been exceeded, the original numbers no longer apply due to a condition called necking which is a stretching or elongation of the material.
-
Fabrication: The action or process of manufacturing or inventing something-a manufacturing solution that can utilize punching, cutting, drilling, tapping and forming capabilities. Typically used in low to medium volume production, this method allows us to get your product into production quickly with minimal tooling investment. It also boasts consistent part quality and flexibility with design changes.
