aluminium CNC bending
Aluminium bends easily until it cracks. The difference between a clean bend and a fractured one is usually the alloy, the temper and the bend radius, in that order.…

Material, process and part pages with data behind them
A programmatic page only exists here when it carries at least three facts, one unique table, a source and a review date. Wave 1 covers the material × process combinations and the part families we actually run. Pages that cannot meet the threshold are not published.

laser cutting fabrication
aluminium laser cutting
Aluminium cuts fast on a fibre laser, but it reflects, conducts and oxidises differently from steel. The result is good when the nozzle, pierce and gas are set for alumin…

surface treatment coating
aluminium powder coating
Aluminium is coated for colour and for protection, but the pretreatment has to be built for aluminium. A phosphate line designed for steel will give poor adhesion and ear…

stamping presses
aluminium stamping
Aluminium stamping is chosen for weight, conductivity or corrosion resistance, not for strength. Formability varies so much between alloys that the grade decision often p…

aluminium welding
Aluminium welding needs a different process, a different preparation and a different expectation of distortion. MIG on aluminium is fast but unforgiving of oxide, moistur…

brass CNC bending
Brass bends cleanly but marks easily and work-hardens at the bend. For visible parts, tooling protection matters as much as the bend program.…

brass laser cutting
Brass cuts on a fibre laser, but it is one of the least forgiving materials in the shop: reflective, thermally conductive and prone to a rough dross edge if the parameter…

surface treatment coating
brass powder coating
Brass is usually left bare, lacquered or plated. Powder coating is used where colour, low glare or a barrier is needed, and it needs a pretreatment that will key to a cop…

stamping presses
brass stamping
Brass is a press shop material by nature: it coins, forms and shears cleanly, and small progressive tools run it at high stroke rates. The questions are alloy, temper and…

bending welding assemblies
brass welding
Brass is rarely welded; it is brazed or soldered. Where a joint is needed, the zinc content makes fusion welding difficult and the heat affects colour and temper.…

copper CNC bending
Copper bends easily but marks easily, and a busbar that is work-hardened at the bend may fail a conductivity or a flex test later. Bend radius, temper and tooling protect…

laser cutting fabrication
copper laser cutting
Copper is the hardest common sheet material to laser cut well. It reflects the beam, conducts heat away from the kerf and needs significantly more power than steel at the…

surface treatment coating
copper powder coating
Copper is normally left bare for conductivity. Coating is used for colour, for a barrier against tarnish or where the part is not current-carrying.…

copper stamping
Copper stamping is about conductivity and ductility. The material forms beautifully, anneals readily and work-hardens quickly, so the tool design has to account for a mat…

copper welding
Copper is joined far more often by brazing than by welding. Where welding is required, the conductivity that makes copper useful is also what makes the joint difficult.…

CRCA / mild steel CNC bending
CRCA bends predictably, which is why most bend standards are written around it. The traps are bend allowance from an assumed K-factor, insufficient flange for the die, an…

CRCA / mild steel powder coating
CRCA takes powder coating well because the seven-tank phosphate line was designed for it. Most CRCA coating failures are not powder failures: they are oil left in a hem, …

CRCA / mild steel welding
CRCA welds cleanly with MIG and is the backbone of frames, bases and enclosures. The engineering problem is not making a sound weld; it is keeping the assembly square aft…

stainless steel CNC bending
Stainless bends with more force, more springback and more risk of surface damage than CRCA. The die and the handling, not just the program, decide whether the part comes …

Stainless stamping is a tool-life argument. The material work-hardens, gall and pick-up on the die face, and the same tool that runs for a million CRCA parts may need re-…
