2025 11 20 Forging shapes metal through pressure and heat, while fabrication combines cutting, welding, and assembling different metal pieces. Forging is best for high-strength parts, and fabrication is ideal for custom fabrication and complex structures. Choosing between them depends on strength requirements, shape complexity, budget, and production volume.

VMT 2025 11 19 If a common alloy material, aluminum alloy with silicon（Si）addition, happens to be used in your engineering project, you surely understand that the additon of silicon（Si） must be enhancing certain properties of the aluminum alloy. But maybe you will be wondering—what does the silicon（Si）belongs to ? Metal or nonmetal? This article will illustrate elements like silicon（Si）—the metalloids, and their properties and applications. After learning about how metalloids play an important role in industries, there might be some useful references provided for your material selection and application design.

VMT 2025 11 18 Plastic materials are widely used in manufacturing plastic parts in engineering. The selection of plastic materials depends on the required material properties , that is, the properties of the plastic itself. So, when you select the plastic materials for your projects , have you ever wondered the causes of the plastic’s properties in chemistry? This article will share you knowledge of copolymers and homopolymers. With examples of four common plastic materials, you will understand what properties plastics have when they are copolymers or homopolymers.
