Ferrous vs non-ferrous metals differ in magnetism, corrosion, and machinability. In sourcing and CNC machining, those differences show up as fixture choices, inspection risk, surface-finish stability, and whether a part survives humidity, salt, or chemical exposure without surprises. If you only compare “steel vs aluminum,” you can miss the real drivers that change total cost […]

Bead blasting roughens a machined surface in a controlled way so matte light diffusion and coating adhesion improve. Many teams know it looks good, yet they struggle to predict roughness, cost, and inspection needs across a global supply chain. This guide explains how bead blasting works, how it differs from sandblasting, what to include in
