No Comments

Sometimes the most useful ideas are those that are taken for granted. Frequently, those ideas – like the mousetrap – are hard to improve on. Such is the case for the sun visor.

No Comments

Because of its unique properties, aluminum has been of key importance in many of the developments of the past century. Why only a century or so? Because although aluminum is the most abundant metallic element in the earth’s crust (8%), metallic aluminum was produced for the first time just 200 years ago. It was not until 1886 that a commercial process was developed – the Hall-Heroult process – to refine aluminum from alumina.

February 14, 2022
No Comments

Without heat treatment, many of the products we use daily – and take for granted – would need to be designed differently or would not function as effectively. One of these is the automotive seat-belt clasp. Before getting into some specifics of this part, however, let’s look at the history and benefits of these restraints.

No Comments

There are a number of ways to join two metals together. Most of these involve some form of welding or brazing, with many variations in these techniques.
