We share information and tips we’ve learned from our experience in the CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication industry.
Low carbon steel is widely used in German CNC machining and precision manufacturing. It is common in automotive, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation. German manufacturers prefer it because it is stable, low cost, and meets strict EN standards. From a machining point of view, low carbon steel is easy to cut. It works well in […]
AISI 316 is an austenitic stainless steel used for manufacturing parts in food, chemical, marine, and medical industries because of its remarkable corrosion resistance, good ductility, good machinability and bendability. If you are looking for corrosion-resistance parts for your project, read carefully this complete guide of AISI 316 stainless steel for understanding its chemical composition, […]
Aluminum and stainless steel are two of the most commonly used metals, but choosing between them depends on your priorities. Aluminum is lightweight and easy to form, while stainless steel offers higher strength and durability. Understanding their key differences helps you select the right material for your application. What Is Aluminum? Aluminum is a lightweight, […]
During sheet metal bending, the thickness of sheet metal is the fundamental but essential parameter. In engineering, the thickness of sheet metal is indicated by its metal gauge. The metal gauge isn’t a direct metric or imperial length unit, it is a standardized system based on the weight or thickness of metals. Understanding the definition […]
In precision manufacturing, the selection of materials can decide directly the quality and functions of parts. 1.4301 is the extremely common grade of stainless steel materials for sheet metal bending. 1.4301 is austenitic stainless steel that exhibits excellent mechanical properties and stable corrosion resistance. Learning the properties and features of 1.4301 for your sheet metal […]
In sheet metal fabrication, the selection of materials directly determines the manufacturability of parts, costs and performance. In engineering aspect, soft metal indicates the metal that has lower yield strength and higher elongation at break. This type of metal can be formed or machined and it is not easy to occur cracking. Now let us […]
In engineering, sheet metal fabrication manufacturing is one of the essential techniques that can turn plates or metal sheets into 3D parts with different functions. We understand, the provided CAD models and engineering drawings from you require strict tolerance and complex geometries. Tuofa’s sheet metal bending solution can make your engineering design into real parts […]
In the practice of metal sheet bending, springback is a essential common physical phenomenon. It can directly affect the tolerance of sheet metal parts. As for engineers who are responsible for machining precision metal parts, understand springback and know how to reduce springback is very important. So, we will explain springback meaning, causes and calculating […]
Sheet metal is always bent into different shapes or structures for different applications. However, whether the sheet metal can be bent successfully is influenced by an important parameter that is called bend radius. In this article, we will explain what is bend radius and how to measure it for you. What Is Bend Radius of […]
Can stainless steel sheet metal be bent into parts? Are you looking for an ideal material for your sheet metal project? In fact, stainless steel is the widely-used engineer metal for manufacturing precision parts. Today in this article, we will discuss the mechanical properties of stainless steel sheet metal and explore how can it be […]
It is important to select the right aluminum alloy for bending, especially for engineers and procurement specialists. Why? Because selecting aluminum would impacts parts functions, appearance, production efficiency, and manufacturing cost. Aluminum is popular for its excellent strength and corrosion resistance. But it doesn’t mean that all aluminum grades are suitable for bending. In this […]
Rapid prototyping is a vital technique for custom metal parts. It enables engineering drawings to be rapidly transformed into real metal parts, which can optimize product manufacturing processes. If your project requires custom sheet metal products, sheet metal rapid prototyping is your ideal choice. So what does sheet metal prototyping mean? This article will provide […]
