Selecting the Right Alloy for Your Custom Metal Fabrication Project
January 5, 2018
Choosing the right metal alloy starts with knowing your application well. Pure metals are useful, but alloys allow us to consider our anticipated uses and mix the perfect combination of metals and chemical components that will change the material’s resistance, reactivity, conductivity, strength, durability and more. The perfect material for one function, like a car engine, might be completely wrong for another like a butter knife.
The capability to mix alloys, which humankind has enjoyed for centuries, gives us the versatility to create the mix to get any job done right.
What to Consider While Choosing Alloys of Metal
When you’re deciding whether you need an alloy and which kind will be best, think about the job you have in mind for the finished product and then consider the…
