Selection requirements
- Aluminum
Control anodized color consistency and allow for coating growth on close fits; the supplied reference gives 10–50 µm per side for some hard-coat processes. Welding reduces 6061-T6 strength locally and may require a specified heat-treatment route. Common alternatives include 7075, 2024, 5052 and 6063. Conventional, hard or colored anodizing; blasting, brushing, polishing, powder coating, electrophoretic coating, conversion coating and qualified nickel/chrome plating.
- Brass
Confirm alloy, temper and applicable contact/compliance requirements. O60, H02 and H04 values differ. Common alternatives include C260 and C272; nominal equivalents must be checked against the applicable specification. Polishing, brushing, blasting, nickel/chrome/gold plating, anti-tarnish treatment and clear lacquer.
- Copper
Consider tellurium copper for demanding production machining. Control burrs and oxidation. Welding or brazing needs a process suited to rapid heat conduction; specify temper rather than assuming all C11000 values are identical. Polishing, blasting, nickel/tin/silver plating, anti-tarnish treatment and clear lacquer.
- Carbon Steel
Apply rust protection promptly. Welding may need preheat and an appropriate procedure. Hot-rolled, cold-drawn, normalized and quenched-and-tempered conditions differ; use alloy steel such as 4140 where greater hardenability is required. Other carbon steels include 1018/1020, 1215/12L14 and A36. Black oxide, zinc/nickel/chrome plating, phosphate or zinc-flake coatings, powder coating, painting and protective oil.
- Alloy Steel
Confirm heat-treatment hardness before quoting. Welding may need preheat in the supplied 170–350°C reference range and suitable postheat, depending on the procedure. Alternatives include 4340, carburizing grade 8620 and 4130. Quenching/tempering and nitriding; nickel/chrome plating, black oxide, phosphate, paint and zinc-flake corrosion protection.
