Welcome
to our new web site
At the
present time our site is still in its middle developmental stages, but we feel
you will find it beneficial in several ways. Please excuse (but, also, please
report to the systems administrator) any faults, errors, and or omissions you
may discover.
We would
also appreciate hearing about any additions or other suggestions you may have to
help us create an exemplary site, which will serve your needs to the fullest
extent possible.
We assure
you we will do our very best to correct any deficiencies as quickly as possible.
Please visit us here often to see the frequent new additions and improvements.
We have at least partially installed the following features:
| A bit of the history of
Materials Management. |
| Listings of tens of
thousands of available open shape (standard dies) from which we can usually
supply extrusions without imposing die development charges. |
| Discussion of custom
shapes and how to use them. |
| Information, helpful
hints, pitfalls to avoid and ways to design aluminum extrusions for best
productivity and economy. |
| Information, helpful
hints, pitfalls to avoid and ways to purchase aluminum extrusions for best
productivity and economy. |
| Generous use of
navigation bars. |
| An internal search
engine, which will let you search for virtually any relevant (explicit) key
word, and aid you in navigating the site. |
| Descriptive information,
which will give you insight into some of the most popular aluminum alloy
groups. |
| A description of the more
commonly extrudable aluminum alloys, their main uses, and general
characteristics. |
| Discussions of the
various finishes available for aluminum, how they differ, their comparative
costs, and examples of where they are most advantageous. |
| A few of the many
testimonials we have received from our customers. |
| Some information about
heat sinks and electronic cases. |
| A sheet metal gauge
comparison chart, comparing the different standards. |
| A table of the densities
of aluminum alloys. |
| A hardness measurement
comparison chart, comparing the different standards. |
| A Metric to Imperial
measurement equivalency chart. |
| An Imperial to Metric
measurement equivalency chart. |
| An Imperial to Metric /
Metric to Imperial measurement computer. |
| Arrangements for payment,
and your options regarding them. |
| Our terms of use for the
site. |
| Our site privacy policy. |
The following features, among others, are planned and “in the works”:
| A Handy calculator sheet
to estimate the approximate weight per foot (and feet per given common order
weight quantity) for a number of the common extrusion geometries, regardless
of their dimensions. This is virtually complete, and should be up very soon. |
| Technical data on the
chemical and physical properties of many aluminum alloys. |
| A dictionary covering a
number of common industry terms and their meanings. |
| A link into some of the current metal prices, as traded on the domestic and international markets |
| Information on aluminum castings, shot, pellets, flakes, granules, needles, tadpoles, and other geometries of aluminum. |
We also plan many, many other features you will find handy to have available for
your daily use. Most will be worked on an anticipated frequency of use basis.
