How part geometry, annual volume, and tolerance decide which casting process fits your program, with the cost and lead time tradeoffs spelled out.
Casting vs machining compared across cost, tolerances, volume, and lead time. Learn which manufacturing process fits your metal part production needs.
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.

304 for general enclosures, frames, and indoor structural parts. 316 for marine, chemical, and wet-service parts that face chlorides or acids. 316L for welded sanitary and food-grade assemblies where weld-zone corrosion is a risk. Send your model and service environment and Redstone confirms the grade at the feasibility review.
Passivation and electropolish run in-line at the certified facility. Passivation removes free iron and restores the protective oxide layer after fabrication. Electropolish smooths the surface to a clean, crevice-free finish for sanitary and food-grade parts. Redstone confirms the finish against your service environment at the quoting stage.
Yes. Sanitary and food-grade assemblies run TIG welding in 316L for clean, crevice-free joints, followed by passivation or electropolish. Weld procedures and welder qualifications are maintained for the program. Send your drawing and Redstone confirms the weld and finish approach at the feasibility review.
±0.005 inch standard across cutting and forming, tighter on qualifying programs on request. Finishes run from mill and No. 4 brushed to No. 8 mirror polish, plus passivation, electropolish, bead blast, and powder coat to RAL. Send your critical dimensions and surface spec and Redstone confirms what is achievable at the quoting stage.
$50,000 minimum program value. Volume programs only. Multi-year preferred. Send your annual volume and Redstone confirms the right facility and routing at the quoting stage.
