Anodized aluminum electrochemically creates a protective oxide layer that creates a durable, corrosion-resistant and beautiful surface. The process significantly improves the material’s surface hardness, wear resistance and acceptance of a wide range of colors, making anodized aluminum ideal for many applications.
The fading of anodized aluminum colors is primarily caused by prolonged UV exposure, improper cleaning agents, and certain environmental factors. Proper material selection, precise anodised process control, and appropriate aftercare are key to maintaining the longevity of anodized colors.
2D drawings show flat views of an object, mainly focusing on length and width, while 3D drawings give a full, detailed view from all angles, making it easier to understand and build complex and high precision parts accurately.
Measuring approximately 0.0747 inches (1.905 mm) thick, 14 gauge steel is a durable and adaptable material. VMT specializes in CNC machining and sheet metal processing services for 14 gauge steel plates. With 15 years of industry experience, we have delivered over 15,000 high-precision parts.
You encounter UNS N02201 when you work with pure nickel alloys that require low carbon content. This material follows the ASTM B162-99 standard, which sets the rules for rolled nickel plate, sheet, and strip. At Machining, VMT’s team helps you select the right process and tools for your project.
CNC Logo Cutting gives you unmatched precision, speed, and flexibility for branding, signage, and custom fabrication. Start your CNC logo cutting at VMT, we ensures consistent results, whether you need a single sign or a large production run.
Powder coating makes aluminum look nice and stay strong. The finish is tough and can handle bad weather, scratches, and fading for a long time. Getting the surface ready and putting on the powder right helps it work best.
Tolerance stacking matters because even tiny variations can lead to gaps, misalignments, or failures in mechanical assemblies. Research shows that careful management of these accumulated differences improves reliability and reduces the risk of costly errors.
Choosing the right drill bit can make or break your project. You will find many Types of Drill Bits, each designed for specific materials like wood, metal, or masonry. The shape and material of a bit, such as twist, spade, or carbide-tipped, can impact durability and performance.
You often see lightweight metals in airplanes, cars, and even electronics. These metals have densities typically less than 3 g/cm³, which makes them much lighter than traditional materials. For example, an aluminum-based alloy can reach a density of only 2.4 g/cm³ while still achieving a high specific yield strength.
