Advanced and Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ) Ceramic Material Properties and Applications
17 October 2019
Having been identified as one of the most formidable ceramics known to man, the adoption of Zirconia as an industry-supported refractory material was inevitable. This is a material that negates substance-corrosive effects. Whether advanced Zirconia products face an attack from […]

Understanding the Important Factors on the Precision Grinding of Advanced Ceramics
09 October 2019
Advanced ceramic parts have found their way into every industrial application. Commercial usage instances are also high up on the ceramics candidacy ladder, too. They’re made from rigid, extraordinarily heat-resistant silicon carbide or stabilized zirconia. Wear-resistant alumina ceramics are also […]

Arc, Mig, and Tig Welding: Essential Processes in Precision Engineering
25 September 2019
Talking about precision engineering, all welding processes are not created equal. They form into a sort of hierarchical ladder. On the bottom rung, there’s stick welding. Next up, there’s MIG technology, which is then followed directly by TIG and Flux-Cored […]

How Does Spark Erosion Work in a High Precision Engineering Process?
03 September 2019
Straight to business, spark erosion equipment is not like conventional cutting technology. There’s not a single abrasive disc or cutting blade around. Replacing those forceful, kinetically aggressive tools, an electrically charged electrode discharges a focused point of travelling, material-eroding energy. […]

Understanding Cylindrical & Surface Grinding in Precision Engineering
20 August 2019
Is a fabricated metal article ready to be packed and dispatched to an awaiting client after it exits the last machining station? Possibly, but that’s probably not a common practice. Raw and unprocessed, a grinding machine removes drill hole burrs […]

Differences Between CNC Milling and CNC Turning
08 August 2019
By knowing what makes CNC Milling different from CNC Turning, machine shop owners are better able to select the right subtractive cutting system, one that’ll fit a specified shop application. These are, after all, two slightly dissimilar parts manufacturing techniques, […]

The Advantages of Using CNC Machines for High Precision Material Production
17 July 2019
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) piloted machines have, in some cases, replaced conventional machine shop tools. Sure, there’s still room for manually operated routers and milling equipment, plus the radial drills that apply precisely bored openings, but automated CNC systems provide […]

Understanding the Work Scope of High Precision and General Engineering Services
04 July 2019
Equipped with the latest CNC milling and turning tools, the job of a general engineering services business is to manufacture ultra-precise products. Granted, a “General Services” description may indeed appear prominently in an engineering shop’s mission statement, but the process […]
