Heat Treatable Aluminum Alloy Series

We wouldn’t be able to enjoy our world without aluminum. From cans holding vegetables to cars and aerospace technologies, aluminum alloys are a significant part of our world. When we think of aluminum, the reflective and light material comes to mind. Yet aluminum is very strong, durable and malleable, especially when combined with other elements….

Grain Refinement of Aluminium Alloys

Look around you. You live in a world that contains raw materials that are formed and produced into the products you use and the homes you live in. One of the most widely available metals in the world is aluminum. It is the second most abundant element in the environment as we use it in…

Deoxidation of Copper Alloys

The deoxidation of copper alloys involves removing the oxygen using a chemical process, usually other metals. As the oxygen and other gases are removed from the metal, certain properties are either enhanced or decreased. For example, when Phosphor is added to bronze alloys, it reacts by removing the oxygen content from the metal which can…

The Advantages of Using Babbitt in Wire Form

You may have heard that Babbitt alloys are commonly used for ball bearings, but did you also know that it can be used as metal wire for spray applications. When Babbitt is used in a spray application, the deposition rate and speed are increased, resulting in faster production, less waste and less cost. Benefits of…
