CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machining is a manufacturing process in which pre-programmed computer software dictates the movement of factory tools and machinery. Using this machine versus manual machining can lead to improved accuracy, increased production speeds, enhanced safety, efficiency, and cost savings. (more…)
The show will focus on 3D Printing, Contract Manufacturing, Design & Product Development, F&B Packaging, Injection Molding, Labels & Labelling, Materials, Robotics & Automation. There are more than 30 hours of free Expo education and conference sessions. Eagle can offer free expo hall admission that has many free activities and content and 20% off any conference. (more…)
In determining what grade of stainless steel tubing to select many factors are taken into account. The main requirement for stainless steels is that they should be corrosion-resistant for a specified application or environment. Strength and fabrication characteristics are also taken into consideration. There are more than 60 grades of stainless steel. However, the entire group can be divided into four metallurgic classes. In determining what grade to select, additional mechanical or physical properties may also need to be considered to achieve the overall service performance requirements. (more…)
At Eagle Stainless, our customers’ satisfaction is important to us. Our quality certifications provide customers with the confidence that their product meets their specifications consistently. Over the next few months, our customers will be called or emailed to participate in our customer satisfaction survey. We have hired the Center of Marketing Research at UMASS Dartmouth (CMR) to conduct this survey on our behalf. (more…)
Are tradeshows still relevant? In the digital age, you would think that just having a robust online presence would be enough. The cost of going to a tradeshow can add up. You have to have a tradeshow booth, graphics, travel expenses, promotion expenses and not to mention the time out of the office. (more…)
All steel is carbon-based, but stainless steel contains chromium at 10% or more by weight. It is the addition of chromium that gives the steel its unique stainless, corrosion-resisting properties. Stainless steel does not rust because its chromium content gives it passivity. The chromium forms a passive oxide film; it repairs the surface layer and prevents further corrosion. This passivating layer prevents oxygen and water from accessing the underlying metal, giving stainless steel a long lifespan. (more…)
Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) is an exact manufacturing process that creates complex and intricate shapes with exceptional accuracy. This technique generates a series of controlled electrical discharges between a thin EDM wire and an electrically conductive material, such as stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum. The wire, held securely by upper and lower guides, carefully follows a programmed cutting path to shape the material into the desired form.
Wire EDM is particularly valued in aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and automotive engineering industries, where precision and attention to detail are critical. It is ideal for producing components with tight tolerances, intricate geometries, and delicate features that would be difficult or impossible to achieve using traditional machining methods. Additionally, the process is non-contact, which means there is no mechanical stress on the material, reducing the risk of deformation and ensuring a high-quality finish.
ASTM International is a globally recognized standards organization that develops and publishes consensus technical standards for materials. ASTM was formed in 1898 to address the frequent rail breaks affecting the railroad industry. Originally called the “American Society for Testing Materials” in 1902, it then became the “American Society for Testing and Materials” in 1961 before it changed its name to “ASTM International” in 2001.
