Methods for machining various parts and equipment for your business is not always a straight forward task. With multiple possible methods and equipment you can use, it is important to understand each method’s intended applications, benefits, drawbacks, and associated costs. If you are in the market for precision machined parts in Minnesota, and aren’t sure which method will work best for your needs, here are five of the most common machining methods, and how they could benefit your business.
The process of depositing a metal coating on a conductive surface has been done for hundreds of years, and has more recently seen a resurgence in many internal equipment used in modern technology. Beyond just improved the appearance of an item, plating is also used for corrosion inhibition, to improve solderability, to harden, to improve wearability, to reduce friction, to improve paint adhesion, to alter conductivity, to improve IR reflectivity, and even for radiation shielding.
Oftentimes also referred to as sandblasting, this service can smooth rough surfaces, roughen smooth surfaces, remove material from a surface, and even shape an object. This service is best used to clean or strip a surface of imperfections and contaminants, often as prep for another coating or plating treatment.
Great for finishing products that have previously been fabricated using a number of different methods, thermal deburring removed excess metal fragments from a surface, making it smooth, visually appealing, and safer to the touch.
Ideal for creating permanent text on various products, laser marking is a superior option when compared to other text printing options. Is your product is going to be used in adverse conditions, this method is great for longevity.
Heat treatment has many advantages for shaping and altering the strength of several metal objects. Heating up a metal object to peak temperatures can make it much more maluable and easy to form. Additionally, heating and cooling of metals can alter their strength, depending on your unique needs.
