 | How to Metalize Plastic
Plastic components can be coated with metal (called metallization), to increase desired properties for certain applications, such as conductivity and abrasion resistance.

 | All About Die Cutting Machines
Die cutting machines have a number of applications in the metalworking industry, such as forming, cutting and shaping metals. Using templates, or molds, the die is customized with the final product in mind. There are several traditional varieties of die cutters

 | Anodizing Verses Ceramic Coating
Type I (chromic acid) and Type II (sulfuric acid) anodizing processes are used as protective coatings on aluminum or aluminum alloys. These processes produce surfaces which are hard, resistant to corrosion and aesthetically pleasing.

 | Applications Of Precision Stampings
Precision stamping is a fast and cost-effective solution for manufacturing large quantities of complex products. There are three major precision stamping applications currently in use at factories across the globe: micro-precision stamping, intricate precision metalwork, and prototype
|
 | Ball Grid Arrays in Printed Circuit Board Assembly
The complex maze of circuitry found on printed circuit boards actually serves a somewhat straightforward purpose. Through electrical pathways known as "traces," a print circuit board (or PCB) connects various electronic components on a single substrate.
|
 | Coax Cable Assemblies
Coaxial, or coax, cable assemblies are one of the most basic and popular components in electrical applications. These cables feature a unique construction that protects them from external electromagnetic interference while simultaneously maintaining low emissions. This is achieved by sandwiching an insulating spacer between an inner and outer conductor. Coax cables also typically come with an
|
 | Common Processes and Alloys Used In Die Castings
Die-casting is a fabrication technique involving high pressure injections of liquefied metal into a cast. It is useful for accurately mass-producing items according to specifications. Many products, such as automobile parts, sink faucets, and connector housings, are created using the process.
