APC ApS tilbyder konstruktion, både i Danmark og Kina. Skal konstruktion udføres i Kina kræved det der sendes en model til Kina som skal være kundens ejendom.
Nedenfor er listet en lang række materialer og deres anvendelse og egenskaber
Non-Ferrous Metals
Material name | Composition | Properties | Applications |
Pure metal / Easily alloyed with small amounts of copper, manganese, silicone, magnesium, and other elements | Low density, good electrical conductivity (approx. 60% of copper), nonmagnetic, noncombustible, ductile, malleable, corrosion resistance; easily formed, machined, or cast | Window frames, aircraft parts, automotive parts, kitchenware | |
Brass | Alloy of copper and zinc, 65% to 35% is the common ratio | Reasonable hardness; casts, forms, and machines well; good electrical conductivity and acoustic properties | Parts for electrical fittings, valves, forgings, ornaments, musical instruments |
Copper | Pure metal | Excellent ductility, thermal and electrical conductivity | Electrical wiring, tubing, kettles, bowls, pipes, printed circuit boards |
Lead | Pure metal | Heaviest common metal, ductile, and malleable, good corrosion resistance | Pipes, batteries, roofing, protection against X-Rays |
Magnesium / Magnesium Alloys | Pure metal / Used as an alloy element for aluminum, lead, zinc, and other nonferrous alloys; alloyed with aluminum to improve the mechanical, fabrication, and welding characteristics | Lightest metallic material (density of about 2/3 of that of aluminum), strong and tough, most machinable metal, good corrosion resistance, easily cast | Automobile, portable electronics, appliances, power tools, sporting goods parts, and aerospace equipment |
Nickel / Nickel Alloys | Pure metal / Alloys very well with large amounts of other elements, chiefly chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten | Very good corrosion resistance (can be alloyed to extend beyond stainless steels), good high temperature and mechanical performance, fairly good conductor of heat and electricity | The major use of nickel is in the preparation of alloys or plating - frequently used as an undercoat in decorative chromium plating and to improve corrosion resistance; applications include electronic lead wires, battery components, heat exchangers in corrosive environments |
Titanium / Titanium Alloys | Pure metal / Easily alloys with aluminum, nickel, chromium, and other elements | Low density, low coefficient of thermal expansion, high melting point, excellent corrosion resistance, nontoxic and generally biologically compatible with human tissues and bones, high strength, stiffness, good toughness | Aerospace structures and other high-performance applications, chemical and petrochemical applications, marine environments, and biomaterial applications |
Zinc / Zinc Alloys | Pure metal/ Metal is employed to form numerous alloys with other metals. Alloys of primarily zinc with small amounts of copper, aluminum, and magnesium are useful in die-casting. The most widely used alloy of zinc is brass | Excellent corrosion resistance, light weight, reasonable conductor of electricity | Used principally for galvanizing iron (more than 50% of metallic zinc goes into galvanizing steel), numerous automotive applications because of its light weight |
Ferrous Metals
Material name | Composition | Properties | Applications |
Low Carbon Steels | Up to 0.30% Carbon | Good formability, good weld-ability, low cost | 0.1% - 0.2% carbon: Chains, stampings, rivets, nails, wire, pipe, and where very soft, plastic steel is needed. |
Medium Carbon Steels | 0.30% to 0.80% Carbon | A good balance of properties, fair formability | 0.3% - 0.4% carbon: Lead screws, gears, worms, spindles, shafts, and machine parts. |
High Carbon Steels | 0.80% to ~2.0% Carbon | Low toughness, formability, and weld-ability, high hardness and wear resistance, fair formability | 0.8% - 0.9% carbon: Punches for metal, rock drills, shear blades, cold chisels, rivet sets, and many hand tools. |
Stainless Steel | Stainless steel is a family of corrosion resistant steels. They contain at least 10.5% chromium, with or without other elements. The Chromium in the alloy forms a self-healing protective clear oxide layer. This oxide layer gives stainless steels their corrosion resistance. | Good corrosion resistance, appearance, and mechanical properties |
|
Austenitic Steels: Contains chromium and nickel. The typical chromium content is in the range of 16% to 26%; nickel content is commonly less than 35%. | Good mechanical and corrosion resisting properties, high hardness and yield strength as well as excellent ductility and are usually non-magnetic | Kitchen sinks, architectural applications such as roofing, cladding, gutters, doors and windows; Food processing equipment; Heat exchangers; Ovens; Chemical tanks | |
Ferritic Steels: Magnetic with a high chromium and low nickel content usually alloyed with other elements such as aluminum or titanium. | Good ductility, weld-ability, and formability; reasonable thermal conductivity, and corrosion resistance with a good bright surface appearance | Automotive trim, catalytic converters, radiator caps, fuel lines, cooking utensils, architectural and domestic appliance trim applications | |
Martensitic Steels: Typically contains 11.0% to 17.0% chromium, no nickel, and 0.10% to 0.65% carbon levels. The high carbon enables the material to be hardened by heating to a high temperature, followed by rapid cooling (quenching). | Good combination of corrosion resistance and excellent mechanical properties, produced by heat treatment, to develop maximum hardness, strength, and resistance to abrasion and erosion. | Cutlery, scissors, surgical instruments, wear plates, garbage disposal shredder lugs, industrial knives, vanes for steam turbines, fasteners, shafts, and springs |
