Processing Tolerances
Tolerances are the maximum and minimum limits of a dimension, or other physical trait, that are acceptable for a product to function properly. They are often used in engineering drawings and manufacturing to control parts and imperfections that may arise from manufacturing errors, improper tool usage, or other issues.
The Value of Cut Part Inspection
Modern metal fabrication demands fast, accurate cut metal inspection to keep up with high-volume production and tight tolerances

How Titanium Sponge and Scrap Become Final Products
Titanium sponge and scrap are the starting materials for producing titanium ingots and slabs. Through processes like vacuum arc remelting (VAR) and hearth melting, these materials are refined into high-purity forms that are then forged, rolled, and finished into titanium plates, bars, and components.
Alloying Elements Explained
Alloying elements play a critical role in shaping the strength, corrosion resistance, and performance of metals. This article breaks down the most common alloying elements, explains how they affect material properties, and provides guidance for choosing the right alloy for any application.
