When a customer asked Metalmite to quote a project using XC38 we did a quick Google search and could not find much information. So, we put together a quick cheat sheet here for you to find the data it took us a while to find. In short, the material is a European creation for structural use, it machines like 1045…
Metalmite has been making gears and splines for decades. The roots of our family business are with Michael Gendich II (MGII) in Downtown Detroit in the 1940’s. MGII was the first person to bring a Herringbone Gear Cutter into Michigan for large gears. We have been told that this gear cutter is still being used today in the Detroit area! …
Metalmite specializes in very small, very precise aerospace components. About 20 years ago it became necessary to invest in multiple Wire EDM machines to accomplish this task in-house. Taken from www.EDMdept.com: “The Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining) process uses a thin single strand of wire, which is fed through the workpiece in conjunction with deionized water. During this process, electric…
