CNC Fixtures

CNC Fixture: A Comprehensive Guide

CNC fixtures are used in various machining applications, including milling, drilling, and turning. By preventing workpiece movement, they enable precise and repeatable results, which is critical in high-volume production and complex designs. Without these fixtures, machining processes would lack the stability and precision required in modern manufacturing.

Cast Aluminium Vs Cast Iron: What is the Difference

Cast aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to machine, making it ideal for applications needing mobility and efficient heat dissipation. In contrast, cast iron is stronger, more wear-resistant, and retains heat better, making it suitable for heavy-duty uses like engine blocks and cookware. The choice depends on application needs, cost, and environmental factors.

Why Cast Aluminum Is Considered Brittle?

Cast aluminum is brittle primarily due to its microstructure, which is formed during the casting process. The rapid cooling and solidification often result in uneven grain distribution and the presence of impurities or porosity. These factors, combined with aluminum's inherent properties, lead to reduced ductility and increased susceptibility to cracking under stress.
