Optical Comparator vs CMM: 3 Easy Selection Questions

Optical comparator vs CMM is a choice about the feature you need to inspect. An aluminum cross-section outline, a hole's position relative to a mounting face and a pocket depth do not ask the same measurement question.

Powder Coating Chalking: A Practical Aluminum Review

Powder coating chalking is the formation of a chalky residue as a coating breaks down. For outdoor aluminum parts, connect the surface observation with the coating identity, exposure history and applicable inspection method.
