Anodizing is an electrochemical process used to modify the surface of a metal (primarily aluminum) to create a protective, durable, and highly resistant oxide layer. Unlike paint, which is a coating applied over the metal, anodizing integrates completely with the base aluminum, so it does not peel or flake off. It is widely used in the manufacture of building windows and facades, automotive and bicycle parts, electronic components (such as phone or laptop casings), cookware, and industrial tools.
Bending is the act of applying force to a straight or flat object to deform it into a curved or angular shape. It is a fundamental concept spanning multiple disciplines, most notably manufacturing, physics, and music, referring to the alteration of an object's original form. Key Applications and Definition. Manufacturing and MetalworkingIn engineering and metal fabrication, bending refers to the process of plastically deforming ductile materials (like sheet metal) to produce a V-shape, U-shape, or channel along a straight axis. Mechanics: The inner radius of the bend undergoes compression, while the outer radius undergoes tension. Tools used: Press brakes, box and pan brakes, and specialized machinery.
Beveling is a manufacturing and crafting process of cutting or shaping the edge of a material—such as metal, wood, glass, or leather—at a sloped angle that is not 90° to its surface. This technique smooths sharp corners for safety, creates decorative finishes, and helps parts fit together perfectly.
Blanchard grinding (or rotary surface grinding) is a machining method used to quickly remove large amounts of material from one side of a flat part. It uses a heavy spinning wheel positioned vertically above a rotating magnetic table that holds the metal in place.
Blanking is a manufacturing process used in sheet metal fabrication where a punch and die cut a specific flat shape out of a larger piece of metal. The piece that is cut out is called the blank and becomes the finished product, while the leftover metal is treated as scrap.
