One of the most important safety features that you can add to your Motorsports vehicle is a roll cage. They are required by many racing organisations, and are also becoming increasingly popular as aftermarket safety upgrades for street cars. There are many benefits to installing a high-quality roll cage in your Motorsports vehicle, explored in […]
Chromoly is a popular choice for metal products that need to be strong, durable and incredibly lightweight. This distinctly versatile low alloy steel is a well-regarded option because it offers manufacturers high-tensile strength alongside remarkable malleability. Although chromoly is a little heavier than aluminium and slightly less corrosion-resistant than stainless steel, its standout strength and […]
Aluminium sheets are created by processing raw aluminium through powerful rollers, flattening it into the thinner, extended sheets utilise across the world. In fact, these are widely used in a variety of industries, including automotive, aviation, packaging, and many other sectors. This is due to their versatility and durability, as well as their relatively low […]
As the environment and climate change remain a topic on everyone’s lips, it’s important to understand the sustainable properties that inherently exist in many commonly used metals. The wider metal industry is currently implementing a range of emission-reducing changes, such as using sustainable energy and relying on recycled materials, but some metals have fundamental qualities […]
Aluminium might have been around for a long time, but even the highest-performance racing cars continue to make use of this wonderfully adaptive material. As the margins in motorsport come down to fractions of a second, track cars that need to whip around corners at breakneck speed are heavily reliant on materials to get the […]
Race cars have quite a large following here within Australia, with plenty of state-wide and nationwide races occurring throughout the country throughout the year. Whether it is Repco Supercars Championship, Australia Off Road Championship or the Moto GP, there are plenty to satisfy fans from every state. Unfortunately, the pandemic has created a whole list […]
Aluminium has long remained a superior material for a myriad of industrial purposes. However, it’s been commonly used to produce aeroplanes for over 100 years, dating all the way back to the Wright Brothers in 1903. Today, aluminium still accounts for about 80% of a modern airframe’s weight, with this highly adaptable material used within […]
The widespread use of steel is one of the inventions that changed the face of the earth. But this material’s origins date back thousands of years to the Iron Age and beyond. While modern steel still contains around 99% iron concentration, the addition of carbon is what makes it something strong and remarkably adaptable. Over […]
For decades, air travel was considered dangerous, worsened by many people’s distrust of the science, devastating terrorist activity, and misconceptions surrounding the statistics. With the advent of new technologies and new safety regulations, however, air travel continues to become safer than ever before. In this article, we explore how and why this trend will continue […]
