Flag pole bracket is a great metal hardware for all kinds of applications. It can be installed to your walls, your yard, your roof or even your truck with a flag pole bracket. Made from cast stainless steel, the flag pole bracket always achieves high quality while working in outdoor environment, which can withstand even severe environment. Material: Cast Stainless Steel Cast stainless steel is made by pouring liquid stainless steel into a ceramic shell for achieveing a specific solid…
Corner bracket, also know as angle bracket, is a 90 degree (L shaped) bracket with two oval holes used to fix shelving to walls or connecting two pieces together at right angles. Material: Cast Aluminum Cast aluminum is the metal by pouring liquid aluminum alloy into mold. Cast aluminum can make complex and detailed parts very efficiently. Cast aluminum has the great advantage that it is very easy to reuse. Due to the relatively low melting point (only 650-700° C)…
Lost wax casting, with a long history over 5,000 years, has become one of the main casting types in the world. It has evolved to creat lots of complex metal parts used by manufacturers today. Lost wax casting, also known as investment casting, is a process by which a metal casting is designed and created, and is especially known for its near net shape capabilities. The “lost wax” technique is so called because the wax model is destroyed in order…
Skateboard trucks are an important assembly of a skating board. There are several parts to form a complete set of skateboard truck. Typically, skateboard trucks consist of a base plate and hanger , which are fitted together with pin, bushings and washers. Most skateboard truck parts (the hanger & baseplate) are generally cast from aluminum alloys. There are other materials as well, such as brass, titanium, steel, or nylon. Aluminum is lightweight, biodegradable, and can grind well. With aluminum trucks,…
A vertical anchor windlass is a stainless steel device that rotates vertically with the deck, while the electric motor and the gear box are sitting in the chain locker, it allows a reduced volume above deck. When installing vertical windlass, the chain locker is required to be situated away from the windlass. Chain pipe is one of the key component of vertical windlass that provides the best possible solution. The chain pipe covers the entry to the locker reducing the…
A vacuum pump is a pump type that removes gas molecules or air particles from a sealed volume in order to achieve difference in pressure creating a partial vacuum. Vacuum Pumps are used in a wide variety of industries and applications to remove air and gas molecules from a process such as the food and beverage industry, semiconductor and electronics industry, pulp and paper, medical, plastics and woodworking and so on. Vacuum pump impeller, a rotating component equipped with blades,…
Stand mixer is a common kitchen device in almost every family, used for making cakes, biscuits, pastry, icing and so on. It works by a gear-driven mechanism to rotate a set of “beaters” in a bowl containing the food or liquids to be prepared by mixing them. Flat beater, or mixer blade, is the critical attachment in a stand mixer, which is for combining any mixture that has a normal to heavy consistency. For cooking purpose, the flat beater is…
Stainless steel has the advantages of high corrosion resistance, hygiene, and strength, it is a commonly used material in investment casting or lost wax casting process to creat precise stainless steel components for various applications, such as food machinery, marine hardwares, architectural hardwares, medical components, etc. While there are many options of stainless steel casting grades, how can you ensure you are selecting the appropriate cast stainless steel grade for your specific needs? Factor 1 – Casting Process Since we…
Due to the high fluidity and good castability, A356 aluminum alloy is the common material used in gravity die casting process to creat cast aluminum parts in near net shape. A356 is one of the most common aluminium alloys used to obtain near net shape Aluminum gravity castings made of A356 aluminum alloy can achieve many benefits including good wear and corrosion resistance, hot tearing resistance, good weldability and high strength to weight ratio. Cast aluminum A356 alloy belongs to…
Aluminum casting is a specific manufacturing technique for aluminum components. Mold must be prepaid before starting aluminum casting process. The precision of the mold will have a direct effect on the shape and surface finish of the finished aluminum casting. During aluminum casting process, aluminum ingot is heated to its liquid form under high temperature. The pouring or pressing liquid aluminum alloy into mold by gravity or additional pressure, depending on the aluminum casting method selected. After solifidication, quickly taking…
