Tube Cutting Methods Metal pipes have been around a long time, with iron pipes crafted in ancient China and lead pipes in use in the Roman Empire. The basis for modern pipe making was developed in the 19th century, with methods for forming seamed pipes and tubes coming about in the early 1800s and for […]

Yielding to More Efficient Metal Cutting In metal fabrication, the term “material yield” can mean a couple of different things. Regarding processes like metal bending, rolling, pressing, and forging, the concept of material yield strength is important to understand. Yield strength is the maximum amount of force that a material can endure before undergoing plastic […]

Size Matters When it comes to metal cutting lasers, the biggest difference between the various types is the wavelength of their beams. The term “laser” is an acronym that stands for “light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation,” describing a process where light is amplified or gains power by bouncing its photons back and forth […]
