There are two types of skins on passenger: aluminum extruded skins with an anodized finish, and heavy gauge stainless steel in a brush finish or polished finish with ribs. The aluminum extrusion with an anodized finish cannot be polished. The anodized coating is designed to be a matte finish and cannot be changed. Many have tried, but to do any changes, you're only left to painting the surface. On stainless steel skins, you're dealing with a metal that is built of nickel and other alloys.

Yes. We can construct your design or repair with most materials. Most of our display trailers are finished with an aluminum top construction which dramatically reduces the weight.

Our initial lights were made from Stainless Steel 316L, although it is less expensive and easier to machine, it is prone to corrosion and runs hotter than Bronze AB2. For the past three years we have been using Bronze AB2 with no failures.

Yes, we have both finishes however the best thing to do if you are concerned about our FX Sheeting matching other items in your house is to purchase a FX Sheeting sample pack.

First of all, there's one thing we absolutely have to get straight in answering this question : the supposed link between aluminum cookware and Alzheimer's Disease has long-since been disproven. It was based on faulty science, but unfortunately the myth lives on. It should be noted in this regard that after the first time you brew in an aluminum pot, your beer doesn't even come into contact with the aluminum anyway.

Yes. Kindorf 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 channel, Superstrut 1 5/8 x 1 5/8 and the 1 5/8 x 13/16 size channels are available in type 304 and 316 type stainless steel and aluminum.

Yes. If we are coating over chrome, the chrome must be in good shape. If it is flaking off, we recommend having the chrome removed prior to delivering the parts to us. This will ensure a good base for a long lasting product.

a. For mechanical couplings, a RFWN flange is often used. For non-mechanical connections there are a variety of suppliers of stainless to aluminum transition joints. It is best to consult with the BAHX supplier as to what supplier is recommended. Usually the BAHX supplier has experience with each of the suppliers and is capable of making a qualified recommendation as to which supplier(s) are adequate.

Compared to plain carbon steel, stainless steels (there are more than 300 grades) contain at least 12% Chromium - a metal that is intrinsically corrosion resistant. Because of this alloying, stainless steels form a tightly-adherent and protective oxide layer which is so thin that the metallic coloration of the underlying steel is visible. The oxide layer that forms in ambient environments on plain carbon steels (i.e.

J-B Weld works great on ANY metal surface (lead is an exception). Use as directed on package and J-B Weld will get the job done.

is another way of referring to 304 stainless and similar alloys (301, 302, etc.). The 18-8 refers to the 18% Chromium and 8% Nickel content of 304 (see the table above), with no more than 0.08% Carbon.

This is not a skill everyone can acquire. Thin stainless can be spot-welded which is suitable for the combustion chamber and case. The NGV assembly will require MIG or TIG welding. TIG sets are expensive and it may be necessary to find a specialist welder used to welding stainless steel to do the welding for you. Modern engines employ a casting for the NGV which is more stable during natural heat cycling.

Yes, Iron Access, Inc. has extensive experience in working with both metals. Architectural structures, fences, gates and even decorative interior and exterior metalwork can be fabricated using any type of metal. Aluminum is known for its superior strength and longevity in interior and exterior applications. Also, aluminum structures are lighter and easier to incorporate into access control situations, and provide for an efficient installation process.

Passivation is the treatment of stainless steel in a nitric acid or citric acid solution to remove iron contamination on the surface. The contamination is from fabrication such as stamping, drilling, machining, welding, cutting, forming or wire brushing. Passivation does not change the appearance of the stainless. If the stainless has been heat treated or welded, the resultant scale or discoloration must be removed by either abrasive methods or by pickling.
