Metal plating is a process where a thin layer of metal coating is applied on the surface, or on the substrate of a metal part, product, or component. The process of metal plating can consist of electroplating...
Extruded aluminum is a continuous piece of aluminum that usually has a constant profile or cross-section throughout its length. It is made by forcing a block of aluminum, called a billet, through a die opening which is smaller than the original cross-sectional area of the billet...
Aluminum is the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust but rarely exists in elemental form. The various forms of aluminum and its alloys are valued for their low density and high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and corrosion...
Aluminum piping and tubing is silvery-white, soft, and ductile. The metal belongs to the boron group. Aluminum is the third most abundant element present on earth. Aluminum has low density When exposed to corroding environments...
The term "aluminum coil" describes aluminum that has been flattened into sheets where their width is significantly higher than their thickness and then "coiled" into a roll. Stacks of individual aluminum sheets are difficult to...
Aluminum extrusion, or the extrusion process, owes its beginnings to three men – Joseph Bramah, Thomas Burr, and Alexander Dick. Each of them advanced and perfected the process so that inventors from the industrial revolution...
Industrial coatings are a type of substance that is spread over a surface of various derivatives like concrete or steel. They are engineered chemically to give protection over industrial products that include pipelines and...
