Custom Metal Electrical Contacts: Materials and Manufacturing
Electrical contacts look simple — a small shaped piece of conductive metal — but they are among the most performance-critical parts in a device. A contact that arcs, overheats or loses spring tension can fail an entire switch, relay or connector. Specifying the right base material, manufacturing route and plating is what separates a contact […]
Copper CNC Machining: High-Conductivity Parts Done Right
Copper CNC Machining: High-Conductivity Parts Done Right Copper CNC machining is the route to busbars, heatsinks, RF waveguides, and conductive terminals where electrical or thermal conductivity is the entire point of the part. Pure copper is soft, gummy, and prone to burrs, so it needs a different touch than brass or aluminum. This guide covers […]
Infiltration: Reliable Infiltration from Huaxiao
Infiltration: Reliable Infiltration from Huaxiao Infiltration fills the pores of a sintered iron-copper part with molten copper to boost strength, hardness, and density—a classic PM performance upgrade. How Infiltration Works A copper preform melts and wicks into the connected porosity of a sintered ferrous part during a second heat, sealing pores and improving properties. Infiltration […]
