Inconel 718: Exceptional high-temperature stability and oxidation resistance; used in jet engines, gas turbines, and oil/gas drilling tools.
Aluminum AlSi10Mg: Excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties; ideal for heat exchangers, automotive brackets, and rapid prototyping.
Tool Steel M300: High hardness and wear resistance; optimized for molds, dies, and tooling requiring sub-micron tolerances.

Surface Finishing Options

Mechanical Polishing: Achieve mirror-like finishes (Ra < 0.1 µm) for optical or medical components; compatible with stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum.
Bead Blasting: Uniform matte texture to remove support structures and enhance aesthetics; ideal for functional parts requiring consistent surface quality.
Passivation (Stainless Steel): Removes surface contaminants to maximize corrosion resistance; critical for food-grade and medical applications.
Electroplating: Add nickel, chrome, or gold layers for enhanced wear resistance or electrical conductivity; suitable for stainless steel and titanium.
Anodizing (Aluminum Only): Creates a durable, colored oxide layer for improved corrosion resistance and visual appeal.
Powder Coating: Durable, scratch-resistant color application for structural parts requiring aesthetic customization.
Painting: Custom color application for non-critical components where visual appeal is prioritized (requires surface priming for adhesion).

How to Choose the Right Material for Your Project

Selecting the optimal alloy depends on your application’s performance, cost, and regulatory needs. Our AI platform analyzes your design in real-time to guide you—no guesswork required:
Strength & Durability: For high-stress aerospace or automotive parts, Titanium Ti6Al4V or Inconel 718 deliver superior fatigue resistance.
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless Steel 316L (with passivation) excels in marine/chemical environments; Aluminum AlSi10Mg requires anodizing for long-term protection.
Thermal Management: Aluminum AlSi10Mg is the go-to for heat sinks, cooling channels, and thermal management systems.
Biocompatibility: Medical implants require Titanium Ti6Al4V or 316L stainless steel certified to ISO 13485 standards.
Cost Efficiency: Aluminum offers the best value for non-critical structural parts; Inconel is reserved for extreme conditions where performance justifies the investment.
