The future of the machining industry is concentrated on the increased implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into machine operating applications. You might assume that this means the human component will become obsolete, but that’s not the case at all. The hands on component makes everything happen in the first place. Humans are needed for upgrading […]
#1 – Parts Made of Lightweight Metals are Crucial to the Performance of Aircraft Aluminum and titanium are the most used metals in aircrafts for a reason. Titanium is as strong as steel but 45% lighter, while aluminum which isn’t as strong is about 33% lighter. These lightweight metals help increase fuel economy and overall […]
