Aluminum is the third most common element in the Earth’s crust after oxygen and silicon. It has great corrosion resistance and low density, which makes it  important in the transportation, aerospace, electrical and building industries. It can also be used for household items. 25% of aluminum is casted and the other is wrought or alloy aluminum. Cast aluminum MIC6, 319, 356, 383 Aluminum 319 is used for cylinder heads and transmission housings, 356 for cylinder heads and 383 for engine block......

Junying is going to explain how to select the metal for your machining project, focusing on properties, advantages and disadvantages of the metals. Ferrous metals refer to those containing iron such as cast iron, steel, etc. If strength is the most important factor for your project, ferrous metals are your best option. Ductile Cast Iron ASTM 536 Usually, ductile cast iron is used for cast iron pipe, which is used for water and sewer lines. Ductile iron is a kind of metal which is useful in a lot of automot......

There are many types of cutting fluids. The commonly used cutting fluids include semi-synthetic cutting fluids, fully synthetic cutting fluids and oily cutting fluids. The cooling effect of the aqueous solution is the best, and the extreme pressure cutting fluid has the best lubrication effect. Since there are many kinds of cutting fluids and the performance difference is great, it is a matter of learning how to select the cutting fluid according to the material.Cast iron processingTF-2301 is a new type of cast i......

The selection of CNC cutter and the determination of cutting amount are important contents in CNC machining process. It not only affects the machining efficiency of CNC machine tools, but also directly affects the processing quality. The development of CAD or CAM technology makes the design of CAD directly used in CNC machining, especially the combination of DNC system microcomputer and the CNC machine, making the whole process of design, process planning and programming completed on the computer, and not requiri......

Precision machining is a method producing the precise components which are required as standalone items or parts of machinery. These components got to be machined consistent with good accuracy to suit their specific operation and match the machine or system they’re  mounted in. Many alternative raw materials may be utilized in precision machining to make the ultimate items needed. We are going to detail 7 common raw materials used in precision machining processes. ......

Laser cutting is a process which uses a laser to cut materials and works by directing the output of a high power laser most commonly through optics. Laser cutting is usually used for industrial producing applications. However, it is getting down to be used by small businesses, school and hobbyists.  The [laser optics] and CNC (computer numerical control) are unit accustomed direct the fabric or the beam of light generated. A commercial optical maser for cutting materials require a motion system to follow a CNC or......

There are a lot of advantages for precision machining and it has reworked the approach of the many industries such as automation, manufacturing and aeronautic industries. One of the most vital industry that benefits from precision machining is the medical industry. Many medical products we use now would be impossible if there is no precision machining. Let us take a look at how precision engineering influence the medical product. Machining Meeting the Tightest Tolerances The medical industry requires safety and ......

Thin-walled parts are widely used in several fields because of having light weight and compact structure and using less material. However, it’s difficult to manufacture thin-walled parts by CNC turning, because they are easy to be deformed  due to their poor rigidity and strength.We are going to explain how to improve thin-walled parts made by CNC turning based on our experience. We can work on the clamping of thin-walled parts, cutting tools and parameters selections, etc. Reasons for the thin-walled parts being......
