Forging is a metal shaping process that applies heat and high pressure to create strong, durable components with refined grain structures.| Fractory
Sheet metal shearing processes involve cutting sheet metal by using a set of blades or a punch and die to create cuts in the material.| Fractory
TIG welding is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce high-quality welds.| Fractory
MIG welding is a cost-efficient welding process in which an electric arc fuses the consumable MIG wire electrode with the parent metal.| Fractory
Carburising is a heat treatment process that improves mechanical properties such as hardness by adding carbon to a metal’s surface.| Fractory
Electroplating is a surface finishing process in which a thin layer of metal atoms is deposited to another material through electrolysis.| Fractory
Finite element analysis software is included in many common CAD programs. We bring out the pros and cons of the most common ones.| Fractory
The product life cycle is a powerful administrative tool that maps the different phases a product goes through from its launch to withdrawal.| Fractory
Rapid prototyping ensures short lead times for prototyping through the use of state-of-the-art 3D printing and metal fabrication.| Fractory
Die casting is a manufacturing process where molten metal is injected into a mould under high pressure to produce precise & complex parts.| Fractory
Non-destructive testing refers to the use of testing techniques that do not alter the mechanical properties of the tested product.| Fractory
Finding good sub-contractors for manufacturing your metal parts is not always easy. This list of steps will help you identify them.| Fractory
Lean manufacturing techniques are great for maximising productivity and quality, all this while minimising waste and costs.| Fractory
Design to Cost (DTC) is a cost management principle that accounts for production & service costs already at the design stage.| Fractory
