There are many attributes of Aluminum Bronze Alloys that make them ideal for die applications. These include superior corrosion and wear resistance, as well as the non-galling property when against many wrought materials. For years aluminum bronze alloys have been used as dies for forming and drawing operations for sheet and plate alloys such
Material: C95400 Aluminum Bronze Processes: Turing, Boring, Grooving This aluminum bronze toggle bushing is used in the mechanical toggle assembly of a thermoforming station. The forming station produces highly detailed parts at high speeds with great consistency. The toggle assembly is one of the three mechanical assemblies that are critical to this thermoformer. They
Every Christmas we get a reminder of the products produced by the Thermoforming /Plastic Packaging Industry. This Industry produces the various plastic packaging that protects many of consumer products from toys to electronics. Much of this packaging in done on Thermoforming Trim Presses, these machines are the workhorses of the custom thermoforming industry and
Wartime operations place their heaviest burden on the men and women of the armed forces. Military vehicle manufacturers must constantly grapple with building products that aid soldiers in the field, instead of impeding them. Vehicles must be able to effectively transport soldiers to where they’re needed, while protecting them from the many threats they encounter,
We often receive inquiries from customers who are confused about what type of material they need. One area of considerable confusion is 863 material. This is because there are 2 very different types of material referred to as 863. These are C863 and SAE 863. To understand the difference we must first understand where the
Automatic screw machine parts often cost less in brass than steel. Many designers think that because brass costs more than steel, machined brass parts must cost more too. That’s not true for typical screw machine jobs. Only brass rod’s off the shelf material cost is higher. When you machine parts you are paying for machine
Proper waste disposal is of great importance to both rural and urban areas. Without proper waste removal services communities would experience a number of detrimental effects. One of the key factors to effective waste removal is the actual equipment used in the removal of the various types of waste. This equipment includes front loaders, refuse
Since the beginning of time, there has been a need to push, suck or lift liquid from one place to another. Pumps provide the solution, dating back to 2000 BC when the Egyptians invented the shadoof. The physics of this first known pump was simple. A long suspended rod with a bucket on one
Power and reliability, coupled with low operating costs make hydraulic cylinders the preferred choice for a host of mobile and industrial applications. Today hydraulic cylinders remain the most efficient method for maximizing output particularly in high pressure applications such as metal stamping and forming and heavy mobile equipment applications. Hydraulic equipment relies on the
Whether it’s steel for automobile tires, tubes for pipelines, aluminum for façade structures, or offshore wind power generation; the machines used in the manufacturing of metal products must ensure flawless and reliable production. Bronze wear parts have played a crucial role in steel mill equipment for many years. Various bronze alloys provide many of these
