Understanding the Differences Between Tapped and Threaded Holes: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding the Differences Between Tapped and Threaded Holes: A Comprehensive Guide What are tapped and threaded holes? Tapped and threaded holes are the two most common types of holes found in metal parts. They are used to join two pieces of metal together, as well as to fasten a fastener or other parts. The difference between these two types of holes is their internal threading. Tapped holes have an internal thread cut into them, while threaded holes are simply drilled and not threaded. Types of Tapped Holes Tapped holes come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be…

Titanium Anodizing: A Comprehensive Guide for Optimal Results

Titanium Anodizing: A Comprehensive Guide for Optimal Results Titanium anodizing is a process that improves the durability and aesthetics of titanium surfaces. It also increases the corrosion resistance of the metal, making it ideal for applications requiring superior protection against the elements. The process involves submerging titanium parts in an electrolyte solution and applying an electrical current to create an oxide layer on the surface. This oxide layer acts as a protective barrier to prevent further oxidation and wear. The benefits of anodizing titanium are numerous, and they include improved surface hardness, increased corrosion resistance, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. Additionally,…
