The inground deck step lights are ideal for edging and highlighting areas of the garden such as decking, steps, and patio areas. It can be mounted directly into the ground, or into materials including wood, brick, slabs and walls. The front conver, commonly in 2 way and 4 way, is a critical component of the inground deck step light. It is usually investment cast from 316 stainless steel, which is durable with a strong resistance to pitting and rusting. CFS…
CNC machining is one of the most common manufacturing methods used to manufacture metal parts. Computer digital control (CNC) uses processes that allow the use of a high degree of automation to manufacture parts and has advantages over many traditional manufacturing methods in terms of speed, productivity and accuracy. Choosing the right materials for CNC machining can be a daunting task, and many factors should be considered when selecting materials for parts, including machinability, price, corrosion resistance, strength, weight and…
A356 is a cast aluminum alloy, non-die cast aluminum alloy. It is mainly used for structural parts with high strength and good elongation. Fe element exists as impurity, and the content of Fe affects the elongation of aluminum castings. The higher the content of Fe, the more brittle the aluminum castings are. As you may know, the Fe content of A356 is less than 0.2%, and the Fe content of A356 aluminum ingot is less than 0.12%. However, the die-casting…
The baseplate is a critical skateboard truck part, which is bolted onto the bottom of the skateboard deck. The baseplate is usually held onto the deck by the use of bolts and nuts. To be light and strong, such skateboard truck baseplate are always designed and created by cast aluminum. CFS Foundry is the right aluminum casting manufacturer for custom skateboard truck parts including baseplate. A356-T6 Aluminum Casting Material Alloy Chemical Composition (%) A356 C Mg Mn Si Fe Zn…
The spear is a tool that has been used by human with a long history. It was developed by early humans for different purposes, including hunting, finishing and even war weapon. Usually, it consists of a long shaft and a pointed head. Spear head is the tip that mounts on a long shaft. In ancient times, when it was used for hunting, the metal spearhead was shaped like a triangle, lozenge, or leaf. While, for finishing, the spear heads usually…
First, 3D printing is an additive technology. CNC machining is a material reduction technology, so there is a big difference in materials. As the professional CNC machining company, let us tell you the main differences in detail. 1. Material 3D printing materials mainly include liquid resin (SLA), nylon powder (SLS), metal powder (SLM), gypsum powder (full color printing), sandstone powder (full color printing), wire (DFM), sheet (LOM) and many others. Liquid resin, nylon powder and metal powder account for the…
Aluminum is considered one of the best metals for CNC machining because it is relatively easy to machine. Aluminum possesses all the properties required for machinings, such as light-weight, good strength, and perfect durability. Since aluminum is a light metal and easy to machine, you can use it in various applications. Similar to stainless steel CNC Machining, Aluminum CNC machining process cuts the raw material bit to bit to achieve desired shape to meet the drawing’s specification. So, it is also a custom process…
The versatility of stainless steel is undisputed. It is used in various CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining industries. Many stainless steel items are produced using versatile manufacturing methods in CNC machining. These methods benefit from the precision of computer-controlled milling machines, drills, lathes, and other cutting tools that can produce accurate, repeatable parts efficiently and cost-effectively. The presence of chromium in alloys is why stainless steel is better than regular steel. The chemical composition of all stainless steel contains about…
