Metal injection molding design requires uniform wall thickness, proper gating, and sintering shrinkage planning. Learn the key MIM part design rules before you commit to tooling.
CNC machining tolerances range from ±0.005" standard to ±0.001" tight. Learn the standards, callout types, and charts that keep rework and cost under control.
2024 and 6061 are both workhorse aerospace alloys, but they serve opposite needs: 2024 delivers high strength and fatigue resistance under tension, while 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility.
7075 aluminum nearly doubles the tensile strength of 6061 and dominates aerospace tooling, but it is generally considered non-weldable and harder to form. 6061 offers superior corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabrication versatility for a broader range of industries.
6061 aluminum can be bent, but its precipitation-hardened T6 temper makes it prone to cracking if handled without the right techniques. Proper bend radii, annealing, and controlled heating are all essential for successful results.
A36 and AR500 are two common steel grades with very different strengths. A36 is valued for workability and low cost; AR500 is engineered for extreme wear and abrasion resistance.

Robotic welding for high-volume repeatable joints where weld-to-weld consistency drives quality. MIG for thicker material, structural joints, and faster throughput. TIG for thin material, stainless, aluminum, and cosmetic welds. Send your model and weld symbols and Redstone confirms the process at the feasibility review.
Carbon steel, stainless steel in 304 and 316, and aluminum in 5052 and 6061. Mixed-material weldments are handled on a per-program basis. Send your material spec and joint detail and Redstone confirms the process and filler at the quoting stage.
Every shipment includes visual inspection results, a dimensional report, and material certification. Penetrant inspection and weld procedure documentation are available on qualifying and regulated programs. Inspection records and material traceability are maintained for the life of the program.
Yes. Sheet metal fabrication, machining, welding, finishing, and assembly run under one program and one U.S. point of contact. Cut and formed components, welded sub-assemblies, and finished weldments ship as a complete part, not as loose pieces to assemble downstream.
Yes. Send the existing drawings, weld procedure, and current supplier quote. Redstone assesses the weldment, runs a parallel quote with the certified facilities, and projects landed-cost savings and lead-time impact before you commit.
Standard production lead time is 4 to 8 weeks from approved fixturing, with fixturing lead time of 2 to 4 weeks. A 2-week expedite is available on qualifying volume programs.
Welding joins metal parts by melting the joint and adding filler metal so the pieces fuse into one structure. Redstone runs the common arc welding processes: MIG (gas metal arc) feeds a continuous wire electrode under shielding gas for fast, structural joints; TIG (gas tungsten arc) uses a tungsten electrode and a separate filler rod for thin, stainless, aluminum, and cosmetic work; and stick (SMAW) suits heavy sections. Robotic welding runs MIG for high-volume repeatable joints. We confirm the right process and filler at the weld procedure review.
TIG is the process for thin-wall stainless and aluminum and for visible cosmetic seams, because it gives close control of the weld pool and a clean bead with minimal spatter. MIG and robotic MIG are better suited to thicker structural joints and higher throughput. Send your material, thickness, and weld symbols and Redstone confirms the process at the feasibility review.
Yes. On qualifying programs Redstone builds to ASME code requirements with supporting documentation, including weld maps, material test reports, and hydrostatic test records. These procedures cover both standard and high-pressure applications. The applicable code and documentation package are confirmed at the weld procedure review.
