Learn about Aluminum.

Aluminum is a pure metal that is easily alloyed with small amounts of other materials like copper, manganese, silicon, or magnesium. It is not magnetic or combustible and is a good conductor of electricity. Aluminum offers good corrosion resistance and is generally easy to form and process.
It comes in several different grades and is often used because of its weight. It weighs about 1/3 of other materials like iron, steel, copper, and brass. It conducts heat well and is non-toxic making it a good choice in a variety of applications.
AL1060 is a wrought alloy with high electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and workability but somewhat low mechanical strength. It’s commonly used in electrical and chemical industries.
AL6063 is most often used for architectural applications or trimming. It has high tensile properties and offers good finish options. It also offers high corrosion resistance and is a good option for anodized applications.
AL 6061 is the most flexible heat-treated alloy with excellent workability. It’s well-suited to most processes and has good corrosion resistance.
AL 5052 is the highest-strength non-heat-treated aluminum alloy and offers very good fatigue resistance. Highly workable, AL 5052 can be formed into complex shapes and offers good saltwater corrosion resistance.

Advantages
• Corrosion-resistant and generally offers a maintenance-free finish
• Much lighter weight than alternatives like iron, steel, copper, and brass
• Great heat conductivity
• Nontoxic so it’s suitable for food exposure and other specialized applications
• Non-combustible and reflective so often used for lighting
• Good formability, workability, weldability, and machineability

Disadvantages
• Requires additional processing to be weldable
• More expensive than steel
• Steel is a better option where strength is a primary concern and weight isn’t an issue
• Some alloys are less corrosion-resistant than a stainless steel option
• Can affect the taste of food so it’s less common for food or cooking applications

Commonly used for:
• Window frames
• Aircraft and automotive parts
• Kitchenware
• Food packaging
• Lighting
• Electrical products
• Machinery and equipment

SPRING STEEL

The category of spring steel includes several high-yield strength steels including low-alloy manganese, medium-carbon steel, or high-carbon steel. They are primarily used to manufacture springs as the steel will return to its original shape after twisting or load-bearing. A carbon steel can be used for small springs, but large springs are best when an alloy is used.

High carbon spring steel is a common choice, inexpensive, and easily processed. It is not suited to extreme temperatures or for shock/ impact loads.

Alloy spring steel is well suited to shock or impact loads or conditions with high stress.

Stainless spring steel can be used in some forms at extremely high temperatures (288°C) and is corrosion-resistant.

65Mn is a high carbon with manganese to improve hardenability. It has good wear resistance and good workability.

Advantages
• High yield strength, resisting distortion when twisted or compressed
• Products can withstand continuous twisting, compression, etc and return to their original shape
• Good hardness, elasticity, and hardenability
Disadvantages
• Some metals can have issues when overheated including brittleness
• Requires tempering after heating and quenching to relieve material stresses
• Not all are well suited to welding
• Difficult to form in hardened and tempered state

⛅️Today, let's go to learn the COLD ROLLED STEEL (CRS).

Cold rolled steel (CRS) is essentially hot rolled steel that has gone through an additional rolling process at room temperature. This additional processing produces a steel with closer tolerances and a broader range of finishes. The result is an increase in strength by as much as 20% compared to hot rolled steel.
SPCC is commonly used for automotive parts and some construction applications. SPCC can be used for galvanized products, appliances, containers, and other products.
SAPH440 is commonly used for automotive frames, wheels, and other parts. It has very good tensile strength making it a good choice for load bearing or structural uses.

Advantages
• Harder and stronger than hot rolled steel
• Good for tight tolerances, creating shapes that are square with true edges and corners
• Allows for precise dimensions
• High quality smooth surface and finish
• Easier to process than hot rolled steel

Disadvantages
• Additional processing results in higher
costs
• Can see warping from internal stresses caused by processing
• Limited in the number of shapes possible. Best for basic shapes.
• The process doesn’t reduce thickness as much as with hot rolled steel

Commonly used for:
• Machine and automotive parts
• Metal furniture, desks, cabinets
• Home appliances
• Lighting fixtures
• Construction products
• Steel drums, cabinetry, water heaters
• Strips, bars, and rods

Selecting the best material for your sheet metal fabrication.

Today, let's go to learn the HOT ROLLED STEEL (HRS).

Hot rolled steel is produced when steel is processed by a series of roll presses at temperatures over 1700°F.
The process creates steel that is easily formed or shaped into large pieces and is best used where tolerances aren’t as important.
Q235 and Q345 are 16 Mn steel grade with good formability and weldability properties.
It’s commonly used for structural applications and parts for a variety of industries.
Q345 offers better performance at low temperatures and offers better steel strength.

ADVANTAGES
• Good flexibility making it ideal for structural components
• Very malleable and doesn’t require additional heating for other forming or shaping processes
• Less processing helps reduce costs
• Well suited to high-production runs
• Suitable for a variety of shapes and forms
• Cooling process hardens and normalizes the material which prevents any internal stresses

DISADVANTAGES
• The steel shrinks as it cools making the final shape less predictable
• Surface needs to be descaled if appearance is important or painting is required
• Edges and corners often rounded because of shrinkage during cooling
• Square angles are not always precise
• Dimensional tolerances are generally 2-5% of the dimension
