Select materials and finishes around the way your component will be used. Exact grades, availability and treatment requirements are confirmed during quotation.
Material options for your drawing
Aluminum alloys
For projects that call for low weight and machinability. Specify the alloy, temper and any finishing requirements.
Stainless & steel
For applications with corrosion, strength or wear requirements. Include grade, heat treatment and material standards.
Brass, copper & plastics
Project-specific options for conductive, low-friction or lightweight components. State the exact grade and operating conditions.
Surface finishing
Finishing options can be reviewed for anodizing, passivation, plating, polishing, blasting and other drawing-specified treatments. Suitability and availability depend on the selected material and project requirements.
- Specify the finish standard, coating thickness and color where applicable.
- Mark surfaces to mask and dimensions that must be met after treatment.
- Identify cosmetic faces and acceptable appearance criteria.
- Request material or treatment documentation at the quotation stage.
