Plastic parts are vital in many different industries. New combinations of materials and manufacturing technologies are being developed, especially in challenging applications such as automotive engineering. Continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are a common example of this innovation, which is extremely strong and lightweight at the same time. Automotive engineering is one such field, providing a series […]

How to measure the surface roughness of large parts?
Large parts, such as the engine block of emergency generators, construction machinery or ship engines; truck steering knuckles; or gears and bearings used in wind generators are usually too large and heavy to be performed on fixed roughness measurement equipment Measurement. Nevertheless, the roughness parameters must still be tested. In fact, roughness measurements on large […]
How to avoid bubbles or holes in the 3D printing manufacturing process?
Laser powder bed fusion is the dominant additive manufacturing technology and has not yet reached its potential. The problem facing the industry is that sometimes tiny bubbles or holes are formed during the printing process, and these holes form weak points in the final product. In the 3D printing process of parts, when the low-speed […]
How to choose the best grinding process for 3D printed parts
For metal production parts manufactured by additive manufacturing (AM), post-processing is usually required, especially on functional surfaces. Abrasive machining including grinding and polishing has the ability to finish machining conventional parts and additive parts (ie, 3D printed parts). Compared with mechanical processing (such as milling and other alternative finishing processes), grinding has the advantage of […]
Cooperative team to solve machine tool supply chain problems: 3D printing may be the first choice
A cooperative team from Oak Ridge National Laboratory solved the problem of the machine tool supply chain. The first step: 3D printing the largest casting. In remote laboratories, scientists and engineers representing public and private companies are working to restore and stabilize the dominance of American manufacturing. The purpose is not to solve the problems […]
The Magnesium Alloy Application In Bicycle Frame
The density of magnesium alloy is 1.7, which is only 21% of steel and 60% of aluminum alloy. The advantages of lightweight are very obvious. In addition, magnesium alloy has a series of advantages, in the application of bicycles, it has high rigidity and high bending resistance; excellent shock absorption, absorbing shock and vibration. The […]
Why Is Anodic Oxidation "Favored" In Aluminum Parts Surface Treatment?
We all know that aluminum is widely used in life and industry, and there are many kinds of surface treatment methods for aluminum. There are usually anodizing treatment, chemical conversion treatment, micro-arc oxidation treatment, electroplating treatment, electroless plating treatment or surface organic coating (spraying). Powder or spray paint) and so on. And the most widely […]
Several 3D printing cutting-edge technology breakthroughs that shocked the world
3D printing (3DP) is a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology that uses powdered metal or plastic and other bondable materials to construct objects by printing layer by layer based on digital model files. Today, we are here to enumerate the most “tall” major advancements in the global 3D printing industry in […]
The aluminum material that is touted as sweet and delicious may not be so "pure"
When it comes to aluminum, PTJ can’t help but think of the motto of Lotus founder Colin Chapman. If you want to make your car faster and easier to handle, “simplify the structure, and then reduce the weight”, there is no doubt that aluminum is like this. Kind of material. As an automotive machining material, […]
The added value of the automotive bearing industry will increase by an average annual rate of 7%
Recently, Zhou Yu, secretary-general of the China Bearing Industry Association, said: “In the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the added value of China’s automotive bearing industry will increase by an average annual rate of 7%. This indicator is set to meet the needs of the development of the automotive industry.” “Thirteenth” Five”, the guiding ideology for […]
